giving bikers a bad name....

[gixxer1000]

This goes out to the total twat riding the Tiger or Varadero heading out of Wandsworth on the A3 tonight (just in case you use this forum).

You were overtaking a line of stationary traffic completely on the wrong side of the road (by some way). I had to swerve to miss you, and when I flashed my lights to alert you, you showed me the finger.

I'm not just some arrogant car driver mate - I ride a sportsbike too. You were riding like a prick and you know it. Behaving like that will only serve to further alienate bikers.

Well done.

I can agree with overtaking with a super wide berth, but toward an oncoming car? must be mad.

Some riders in London feel that because they are on a bike, they should never be stationary (except at traffic lights) so weave about and overtake in the most ridiculous of manors and most inappropriate of places. Obviously avoiding traffic jams is a benefit of two wheels, but safety first! The fact that this idiot forced me to swerve and then stuck the finger up when I protested is pure madness.

No wonder the majority of car drivers hate us bikers!

considering a car I was passing decided to sod the que and do a 3 pointer, and I ended up on crutches for 2 weeks, its worth getting the hang of...

Bikers a bad name? no need. Our name is mud anyway. So what. Bad bikers die, end of problem. Good bikers will always have the notoriety, and that is good too. That's why I like bikes. Keep it shiney side up.
