Todays sermon: Intolerance

Pootling home from work today following a small man in a big Merc and
feeling rather forgiving for a change even though he was committing my
'road sin of the week' and not indicating. 5 mins on and I notice an
R1 + prat with black visor all over me like a swarm of gnats audibly
ranting from inside the darkness. Me: what's the fuckin' problem ****.
'You've left your indicator on dickhead'...zoom. Do bikers have some
sort of intolerance gene. I'm probably just about to find out.

Snot a gene is it? In the age old debate about inheritance or
environment intolerance is something you get less of the more you ride
your bike.


Stands to reason dunnit? You see so many more kin idiots on the roads
from a bike than in a cage that if you ain't tolerant then you just
won't survive to be an old biker git.


You can imagine I am sure how your average biker might wonder at how a
bloke manages to get through the day when he has not got enough
functioning brain cells to notice a light flashing right in front of his
face and a thing going tick tick tick for 5 minutes at a time.

You are almost certainly right but I was being kind. After all, if
unnoticed who knows how long the blinkey flashy please give some
attention here thing might have been lying for?

 

Probably but it's more prevalent in newbies.

 

Might have saved your life and, more importantly in your case, saved
someone's car from getting scratched.

 

Porl in "defender of the cage" shocker.

Or are you just miffed that you didn't get to scratch someone's car
when you got scratched?

 

I think you misinterpreted my post.

 

and what are the chances of /that/ happening, eh?

 

You *are* new aren't you? You blend in so well most of the time, then
reveal yourself with a question like that

Sigh. My sarcasm is clearly too subtle for this life.

 

I was being sarcastic and so was my wife.
