Yet another 'biker' gives us a bad name. No doubt a fresh theft since there were 3 of them on the bike 2 without helmets? The fuck?

Just emailed the BBC to complain - I do wish you would report stories more accurately. The rider of this motorbike is not a biker, he is a thief. No biker would go on his bike without a helmet. No biker would carry a pillion who isn't wearing a helmet. No biker would carry a pillion when he hasn't passed his test. By using the term 'biker', its giving bikers a bad name. Tell the truth, a thief stole a motorbike and whilst riding illegally, he hit a pedestrian.

I agree with the comments above but, what else do you expect from the mainstream media and the beeb is basically becoming the Daily Mail on TV. Sad

I like to complain to the BBC. They never used to report on Cal Crutchlow, even when he got a podium finish, so I complained and they started mentioning MotoGP in the sport on BBC Breakfast afterwards. These people just need telling what we want, otherwise they'll do what they like.

And this is why I don't idtentify myself as "a biker" Smile.
However yes, it is irksome that motorcycle riders seem to get grouped together when car drivers, say, don't.
