Think I'll trade the plastic in for a naked with big crash-bars and hard luggage. That would not be good for the smooth n shiny tin boxes
Keep fighting them off!
Yeah ... heheh I know what you mean my lil 125 is the replica of the Honda CBR 125 so ful size sports heheh ... with lil ol me & L plates ... no one seems to notice an L plate on a bike
I do find they're pretty good in Leeds. I can usually filter at around 25/30mph on the ring road and most people move out of the way. Even coppers move over!
Those that don't get a sarcastic "Cheers mate" and a wave!
The only vehicles I regularly have difficulty with are the small cars, the "Superminis" of the world. Big cars are rarely a problem, they always seem to be able to leave room. Even two trucks side by side is normally ok. But little cars always seem to drive along the white line and are incapable of moving over in case they hit the car fifteen feet in front of them!
Also, I still get idiots in their "pimped on the cheap" Vauxhall Novas with the front skirt take off a snow plough, trying to out accelerate the 1300cc motorcycle off the lights. That used to make me laugh, now it just makes me wonder. Guys, it ain't happening, seriously.
I know you're trying to impress your schoolgirl girlfriend, but all you are actually doing is showing her how naff your £300 car with its 60 quid stereo from Halfords is!
And those two subs that take up the entire boot such that you have to carry stuff on the back seat, that you bought off a guy outside your girlfriend's school for a tenner and that you tell all your mates are worth a grand .. mate .. seriously .. no! You may have fooled yourself into believing they sound good, but trust me, they don't!
Sorry ranting a little!
even when they do shell its like a green light to bully you,
tho when i was on my 125...back int day...ahem... i was so big with my hi viz jacket (worn for work), i looked like a floating beacon, ya cud hardley see the bike.
i have seen a few 125 bikes that look like 500 , u'd neva know coz they are so big, works two fold really coz jumping to a bigger bike is not so drastic a change in size and weight and the barstewards ont road think ur a big burly biker dude.
Geoff... I think the guys in the Nova's didnt do physics in school, so therefore they wont know about the power to weight ratio application! It's a shame us bikers have to keep giving them lessons in it again and again and again and again.... and as for truckers... they are just ace! movin their big truck over so ya can get thru...
Truckers are usually pretty good FG.
The one that nearly killed Roachy the other day when he short cutted a roundabout whilst she was alongside him apologised afterwards. Ok, I had threatened to kill him, but I don't believe that influenced his feelings one way or the other!
Before anyone says anything, I hadn't actually threatened to kill him lol! I did however pull alongside and point out that he'd nearly killed my girlfriend and that I wasn't particularly happy about that. To which he said sorry, so I forgave him.
Then I killed him.
@ Ian. Even a pootle on a bird would out drag the numpties Geoff is on about. Power to weight on a standard nova/corsa aside, they load the boot with all that junk mounted on chipboard.
Shell the one's that dont see you now never will, for all the adverts in the world. I drive trucks for a living and a 26" long van is my daily commuter believe me some of the di**heads on the road dont see anything unless its under their nose.
We just got to think for them as well as us!
The curtain rod fell down from the window and on it's way knocked the hand clean off my 'Enchantica' wizard ornament! I've had it years, not a mark on it after half a dozen house moves and one soddin curtain rod damages it.
If I didn't have UPVC window frames I coulda knocked a hook into the frame to keep the rod in place.
I think the hand can be repaired but I can't find the poor fella's thumb, must be under the sideboard and I can't move it cos it solid pine. (As long as he doesn't want to hitch hike he'll be ok, still he's got the other thumb)
