rktman1 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yes. I agree about the offensive driving too. A little offensive driving can keep you clear of trouble... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballacraine Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 sometimes you need a little offense or you'll both just come to a stop on a freeway like a couple'a dimwits trying to let the other by. I hate those morons but I just zip by when I'm on my bike. Or what about the dolts that come to the end of an on-ramp and stop ... STOP to wait for traffic to let up ... those ppl should be drug out to the middle of the street and shot repeatedly. Or just slapped around maybe they have a good reason? but I doubt it. 51168[/snapback] I can sympathise with the irritation, but........ I think that might be frowned upon.........It may even be illegal! Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim 51171[/snapback] 'Offensive' hmmmm Once again we are in the area of differing perceptions. Perhaps 'Positive' or 'Decisive' may be a better adjective? Nige.

Ballacraine Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Actually, that has got me thinking....... I think the worst situation is where you have a ditherer....You are never sure where they are going to jump or quite when. It is easier to deal with a decisive action, even if it may be wrong, at least you can take positive action to counter that. Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badmotogoozer Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Happy Birthday Buddy! Down a couple fer me too! noise vs visability eh? I assume I am completely invisible (it's cool, I feel like some crazy superhero bike dude). I don't buy my gear to be seen, I didn't buy my pipes to be heard. Obnoxious? Hell yeah. People notice things that annoy them. (that car alarm going off down the street, the dog barking two streets over, blinding light in the dark etc.) If I'm waking up a couple of daydreamers, then that's a great side effect to the pipes. I bought them cuz I like the sound. And the extra flow of course An aquaintance of mine was a big advocate of the safety vest until a woman hit him turning left in front of him. She thought he was a roadworker at first glance and didn't realize he was moving. They are out there and no matter what you do, some idiot can take you out at any time. BDC - brain dead cager - I like that! Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Best defense is good defensive riding. 51158[/snapback] I agree except that when people see me driving defensively they think it is offensive! I reckon they don't like it when I use the power of my motorcycle or my riding skills to exit the danger zone around a bad driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheFaz Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 It's the 3-legged symbol of the Isle of Man!

It is a very ancient symbol and is found in various places around the world. IIRC I think it pre-dates christianity. Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
