+1! Ha ha

Also,

1. Horseshit all over the road, lots in the UK. Usually mid bend, what's with horses, can't they .... in a straight line?
2. People who wander over and start a conversation with 'you have too much money' and 'ey Mate how much was that?' followed by 'you have got too much money' happened four times out of five conversations in Wales on Sunday. Only one guy had the decency to say hey I love the bike, what does this bit do and how is it to ride, what's good etc. I have a nasty habit of going 'how much do you owe on your mortgage', 'eh yer what?', 'well you know you asked me a personal financial question and I've never met you so I thought id ask you one' 'eh?', 'yeah precisely, now f@ck off on your skull covered £1k bandit!' cheeky Fkers!
 
.. when your in motion and you find that the bolt holding the quick shifter in place has worked itself loose and then jams against the rear set arm preventing you from changing gear downwards out of 5th .. and then you realize that you do not have an allen key and the last time this happened to you that you could not fit an allan key in place to tighten it back in .. and your in the middle of nowhere .. at night .. on Sunday .. doing 30+ over the speed limit .. with a cop car .. 2 foot behind you .. with his lights on .. for the last 10 miles .. and you have a black visor ...

Out of curiosity how did that end once you finally stopped?
 
-When you just get to the good twisties and a caravan of slow ..., rubber necking, scenery gazing, Sunday drivers are .... blocking the good stuff and there are not many places for passing.

- When some punk kid asks "Hey, what's the fastest you've gone on that bike?" or some variation of that...

I have to be careful with a group of bicylists around here because it could be Troy Bayliss and his mates:D
 
... bags cruising side by side on the highway at 70 with a line a traffic a mile long behind them , not moving over to let anyone pass . When u get fed up and split them there is a crafty cop in the cuts .

I've got one even better, not only did we go around the corner to find a caravan of minivans but the last one was driving in reverse on our lane with the passenger sticking out of the sunroof taking pics or video.
We had to slam on the brakes and go around them on the opposite lane while they just laughed at us....unreal :mad:
Makes me wonder how hard they would laugh if instead or motorcycles it would have been a nice size Peterbilt with a full load and the inability to stop as quickly.

-Waving at other riders and you get nothing in return...

-....... in cars turning right in front of you. "How manry signal I need to make 6 lrane change? Oh wrell, good lruck erebody!"

-Old people driving. Stay the feck away. Period.
 
When someone says, " I would never get a motorcycle. I would probably kill myself on it!"

Or when some stranger sees you with your gear on and says, " Nice bike. I once knew this guy that got killed on a motorcycle." I always walk away because that is the last damn thing I want to hear when I am trying to enjoy my bike. :mad:

Lol! I would put my front tire right into his door panel... Not kidding! I have had friends kick mirrors off cars for stupid .... like that. Mostly by out of state idiots who are going to "teach you a lesson" for breaking the law.

oh i have knocked off a few mirrors from people moving over when splitting lanes, but when the guy opened the door, all i could do was stop the bike and breathe, of course 2 minutes later, i wanted to destroy his car :)

When an old guy walks up to you on your Honda CBR1000RR and says "I used to have one of those once. Yup great bikes those BMWs"

Actually it was quite sweet, but at that time I was rather proud of my 'blade.
