Must admit, I'm surprised that members of the biker fraternity are taking things to heart so seriously. Or is it just a select few posing in front of fellow forum members?
And what's the obsession with wanting to race everyone? Bikes are faster than cars, whoop-de-doo. Cars are faster than combine harvesters, tractors, blimps, etc. but nobody bothers racing them. Maybe I'm just getting too sensible these days, but it seems to me that the people obsessed with racing should automatically qualify for a slap around the chops and a driving / riding ban.
Also, why the resounding hatred of cars and car drivers? I'd love a bike but quite frankly I'm crap enough in a car and wouldn't stay in one piece long enough to enjoy 2 wheels. BUT the only complaints car drivers have of bikers is the irritating minority that ride dangerously around traffic.
