Yes, you, on the BMW R1200GS. Learn to ride, you twat.
Might even be the same twat who wouldn't filter and wouldn't get out of the way and let me through on the M25 last week. The R1200GS does seem to be the twat's bike of choice atm.
Lifestyle bike, innit? Cunts buy 'em thinking they are Charlie or Ewan, when really they cant even fucking ride. I had one fucking about i9n front of mer the other week, i went round the outside of him & he was flashing his lights & allsorts. Next light i told him to learn to ride or **** off & buy a mobility scooter, the ****.
This one was doing a steady 50mph almost on the centre line of the road, for fucking *miles*. There was a BMW car behind him, trying to overtaken, and then me in the Subaru, ditto. But the road was either too twisty or, on the rare occasion when it straightened out, there as oncoming traffic. The BMW made it past him eventually. And then the twat came up behind a car going even slower than he was, in a village, and went for the overtake precisely as a car was coming towards him, too close. There was a synchronised indrawn breath from The Doctor and myself.... Total numpty. Nige's diagnosis is right[1], I think. [1] Had to happen one day, after all.
oops, that pristine 400/4 exhaust just got dropped on the drive They really worry me these fuckers though, one of the neighbours used to have a Harley...oh **** me she was proper danger on road. To be honest, it doesn't take much to get a fairly decent level on a bike, if i can do it anyone can. It really isnt hard. I think a lot of it is the fact they are scared of the bike or other traffic. R1200GS are a big heavy bike, slow as a fucking mong doing timestables, but big & unwieldy if you arent used to big old busses. I once had a loaner of an R1200RT with full luggage on, first few hundred yards i though jesus, this is huge & slow. Once you use the size to your advantage it just another bike, mind you i never told them about the scuff on the pannier..... You can tell the sort that buys 'em though, strutting around in the bmw dealers with flip up helmets & fluoro jackets on perfectly clean kit... Dimwits.
