It seems the BBC have a guide to life, the universe and everything. Here's what it says about motorbikes.

There is also no steering wheel: you determine your route by leaning in the direction you wish to travel, just as you would if you were drunk.

You also have to wear a bulbous metal hat with a visor. If you open the visor, your mouth fills up with wasps and your head vibrates. If you close it, the wasps can't get out and you have to swallow them.

The person who wrote that must be such a deeply conservative,little minded C**T.
Thumbs Down Thumbs Down for the BBC in my opinion

Quote: Motorcyclists; A strange group of people who like to ride motorcycles, wear leather and denim, and have long hair. They are not to be confused with mountain bikers, who are just reckless, and often younger. Bikers are a close knit community, who enjoy the wilder side of life. This, however, contrasts with their other favourite pastimes of reading, macrame, and finger painting. (Warning: this entry may not be entirely accurate.)

Thats like saying all people with posh accents are Earls and Dukes! When quite plainly alot of them have a credit card debt closs to the GND of Ethiopia! (just so they can look rich mind....)

as you can probably guess, im in the best possible mood to read such an article.. Mad

sorry,just had the most idiotic argument with a housemate. I said something when drunk which made absolutely no sense, she's taken offense relating it to something so obscure ive never even thought about it!
Ive told her shes getting the wrong end of the stick and i didnt mean that/sorry etc, she is still being real bitter about it as if im cruel and calculating and judging her character.
Well i am judging now...Fuc*ing annoying bi*ch.
Also may be a little bevv'ed Confused

Sorry /Rant over
(goin to go to bed,expect a horrible hangover for my 7am wakeup. Will serve me right for drinking in stupid games and for being so foolish as to wish to explain myself to my housemate Shocked )

laying in the gravel after hitting a drunken driver whom turned in front of you,and you ask everyone that comes up to you,what condition your bike is in,and do they think you will be able to ride it home???


Too true! Smile The first thing I wanted to know when I woke up was a) where is my bike? b) is it damaged? and c) can someone get it somewhere safe? (I wasn't going anywhere except hospital Embarassed )

Motorcyclists ride everywhere at 170mph. This means that car drivers can't see them, and have accidents with them. Motorcyclists therefore hate car drivers


WOW!
