The latest fatality round here was just up the road last week, a bloke and his missus, both killed on their bike, they performed a stupid overtaking manueveur at high speed. Poor chap who they were overtaking witnessed the lot and has been left traumatised by it, perfect example of stupid bikers in warm weather thinking they are invincable.

Im a biker (no bike at present though), and i think the majority of bikers are cunts. I dont know if its just my car, but they sit up my arse everywhere in 2nd gear revvin its tits off whilst blinding you as they sit right on your rear quater. . Really pisses me off.

My girlfriend almost took a bike out awhile ago. She was driving with L plates on, obv hasnt passed her test yet. A lorry was on the opposite side of the road with loads of cars behind it, then a bike started overtaking the cars. He was behind the lorry, then at the last minute he decided to overtake it, my girlfriend had to brake and swerve over so she didnt hit him. All because he couldnt wait 10 seconds. I know cars do this aswel, but there isnt signs and adverts everywhere saying 'THINK' watch for cars. In my experience all the near misses i have seen is because of the bike overtaking at stupid times or going too fast for the conditions.

This is the problem, you are letting one bikers actions affect your decision for everyone else. If I did that for car drivers then all hell would brake loose!

 car drivers will always dislike bikers, probably jealousy that they're stuck in a cage

Not driving to work FTW, but a bike would be good for commuting - a push bike that is

90% of bikers are cunts and deserve what they get.

You ride horses on car populated roads who are a danger to themselves when they see a crisp packet in a hedge and throw you off because the stupid horse think it's a wolf.

TBH I think people think bikers are cunts because they are a rarer sight so you pay more attension to them and see the flaws, I bet everyone here has seen worse from cars, many more times.
