But it realy is game over in the uk
unless ( No Offence) you ride a commuter
or a retro
There is a Hooligan element in "THe sports bike rider"
me included !
and this will prove it .
last year i had to go and drop my kids some more money of in wales where they were on holiday (kids hey)
anyway i thinks ill go on me bike ,just before i gets into balla i tag on the back of 5 or 6 guys on big retro's
as we leave balla there is old bill standing on the path just observing the traffic,
so off we go and the pace is brisk These guys were all Advance Rider types
Black leathers with diagonal reflective bands on !
so anyway i have moved up into the middle of there group and am realy enjoying the ride.
for the next 30 or so miles there was no overtaking done and speed was topping out about 70-75
all of the bikes were Bmw pan europen fjr's and my R1
as we got to the end of the road there was a traffic car parked and we all turned right infront of it !
Five minutes down the road along came plod and came up along side me and pointed for me to pull over!
the rest of the others carried on !
when i asked him why only me was pulled he replied
Quote Listen sonny (i'm 42)
we are sick of you mick doohan types coming to wales and using the place like a RACE track Now heres your ticket for numberplate small indicators Devil can black visor and when you get back to BRUMMIE land tell all your mates we will be waiting for them!!!
i said thankyou very much
and i will pass on the message
i aint been to wales since and i wont ever go again!
its Europe for me every time now ! the attitude to bikers is so much more friendly
ok if you speed you still get a good bollocking but you know you deserve it !
even a fine wont take your licence away !
The majority of old bill in the uk are real good blokes ! i should know
but the bad ones are as corrupt as the MAFIA
uk for biking sucks and it's gonna get WORSE !!!!
ps see you at the RING.............. mav
