Advanced rider.

1x BMW GS (full panniers on even if popping down to the shop)

1x police style 'lumi jacket'

1x sense of god like riding ablity

Also i have noticed that they seem to have developed this twitch which makes their heads constantly shake at every other road user.

I am a biker myself and know the sorts of tits on the roads, but from my experience these guys just want it to happen. (sort of like the tits that constanly film themselves riding wanting stuff to happen so they can post it on youtube)

Watch out for one on the road if your lucky he may even follow you and 'access' your driving/riding.

You presumably mean "assess".

I thought advanced drivers could be recognised by their PH sticker and goatee?

Driving like a learner if my mate is anyting to go by, shuffling the wheel, hand brake applied every time he stops , coasting and slowing solely using the brakes, wrong gear for the road speed, not driving smoothly ......

Brisk and smooth out of town on the type of roads where they (we) go on their observed runs. But it all goes to pieces in urban areas, either rushing up to hazards or dithering.

Even when they're on foot, they look over their shoulder before changing direction!
That and insufferable pedantry!
