Public Opinion of Bikers

While browsing a forum i used to frequent back in my car days i came accross the following comments with regards to bikers

"i hate bikers, most of them only get them out when the sun is out then drive like its the manx TT! oh and then get pissed off when they get cut up but when they come up on you at a ton and then sit in your blind spot then its their fault if they get cleaned up! oh and i love to see bikers zoom past in jeans or shorts! maybe this is bad but i really want to see one come off, i can gather the arse skin off the tarmac and hand it to them"

And

"i know what you mean though. i biker got killed 6 months ago a mile outside our village.

how?

he was overtaking a car up a blind hill on a corner in a 30 with a junction at the top. he collided with a vehicle pulling out of the junction. idiot. and his dad has been in all the local papers slating the position of the speed limit signs. his death had nothing to do with the signs, which are perfectly visible. he was speeding on the wrong side of the road on a blind hill round a bend. he should have known the risks being a local chap."

Is that the general opinion of Us all? Are we aware of such? Discuss.

i don't think bikers are disliked as much now as a lot of todays bikers are men over 40 where as 20 years ago they were mostly under 25  

Can't wait for someone to correct me.

Can be read as:

"i hate bikers, most of them can get out and play on a sunny day and enjoy the roads! It really pisses me off that I have to sit in traffic when they can safely and effortlessly whizz past while i'm stuck in my Saxo with the missus and a brat with a shitty nappy all the way to ASDA. I hate to see my missus face as they whizz past in their smart expensive kit, I can see her looking, the bitch and I really fucking hate it when they pull up next to me and she gets all wet. It reminds me of my inadequance.

I really wanna see one in the pub so I can bore the fuck out of him about how I sat on a trails bike once and my uncle took my up and down his street. I'd gather up a nice cold pint and hand it to him"

who cares what others think.....

 brilliant

dont think its a common thought though, just the rablings of a wannabe biker

what happened to think once , think twice ,think bike?

I reckon it's a commonly held belief.  Probably stems from a view that bikers get away with lots more 'illegal' activity than car drivers.

Agree.

We are absolutely our own worst enemy sometimes.
We come across as immature, selfish and stupid a lot of the time.

we are scum and organ doners  so dont be soo surprised when cars pull out on you without a second thought

I read this under the heading. "Exactly what is Your Problem"

Example: Yesterday B4215 to Newent up hill blind summit artic in front of me in 7.5t both at around 45mph astra behind me.

Mr mondeo man flys up behind astra and passes the lot anything coming over the top would not have stood a chance. He pulled back in at the summit.

Here endeth the lesson

And i say....

And the bad points are we get wet when it rains.

It's only the internet.

Sometimes I go out for a ride and think to myself, there's no fun in biking anymore; you ride defensively, get cut-up by idiots, get flashed when you put in a clean overtake and you struggle to find a road to open it up, without feeling like you're destined to plough into a Metro dawdling along an NSL at 40mph. But then other days I ride like a complete tool, feel like I'm lucky to make it home in one piece and wonder whether I've put another dent in biking's reputation.

When we're out riding, most of our actions will be seen in a negative light. But then I do the Toy Run each year to counteract the bad ju-ju..

hahaha, good one.

Wuvverly fwuffy bikers. 

Six years ago I had no contact with bikes.  My opinion, as a non-rider and car driver, was that they were ridden by scary people and they were annoying how they cut you up and could get past you when you were stuck in a traffic jam.

Even when I started dating a biker (which is how I ended up here), I still remember being very scared the first time I went to Box Hill and having to meet lots more of these smelly grubby hard bikers (c'ha!)...I'm no shrinking violet, I'll talk to near enough anyone, and yet the first time I really was scared.

Now, of course, I think quite differently - however whenever I've been booking big functions for the "group of bikers" I do find myself automatically justifying that they are "quite normal, just interested in bikes"...even tho this is a lie

At my place of work I've a health and safety woman that wants to make us all push our bikes whilst on site and has even managed to get it into company policies.  Apparently we're more of a danger than the taxis, vans and trucks that use our access-roads.

Like pushing a 250kg bike is better for H&S?

push your bike? wtf is that woman on?

u shud give her a slap
