My Africa Twin decided to undo the + Terminal on the battery yesterday and after push/bump starting it and then stalling it I stood by the side of the road trying to catch my breath watching every biker just ride straight past !
There must have been 20 plus 'bikers' ride past before a couple of lads in a pickup jumped out and gave me a push ........
Are you a Biker or a Motorcyclist ?
I am the later ..... I think that there is a difference nowdays....
I am 37 and have ridden motorbikes off road since I was 7 but I have only been on the road for 5 years.... My only reason to get on the road was to travel .... Slowly...... so I can see the places that I ride thru ?!!
I am not a fan of Sports / Superbikes... well not the bikes exactly ( they just pop out of a mould in a factory and get a Honaha or Kawazuki sticker stuck on them ) but the way they are ridden in this country by the majority not minority ....
When people go on about the North Wales issue here in the UK ( North Wales Police targeting 'Bikers' ) I have no sympathy ..... when you ride in an area of outstanding natural beauty at ridiculous speeds thus making the roads unsafe for other users you are gonna get whats coming ........ I dont want to be associated with this kind of biking ...
'Bikers' have tarnished Motorcycling ...
I am choosy about who I wave to and maybe thats a bit harsh ... But if anyone waves to me I will wave back....
I will stop for anyone who is in need of help.... Biker, Motorcyclist, Car Driver and even ........... Trike riders ... ( or is that Drivers ? )
