Hi Grump

That takes the biscuit! I sometimes wonder what it's all coming too!

The other day on our local radio, they had the "Purtian society" saying that smokers & drinkers should not be given free NHS health treatment, because they cause their own illness & cost the NHS millions but then a smart guy telephoned in & gave some interesting figures:

Cost of treating smokers & drinkers 1.6 million or billion
Revenue in taxation from smokers & drinkers was something like 6 million or billion!

The guy didn't know what to say
Some people just need more chill pills!


Martyn If you have to ask why I ride, you wouldn't understand the answer!

Yes, thay're absolutely right, something must be done. A good start would be to banish all vehicles with more than 3 wheels to make the roads safe.

Nice (sarcasm) slogan "Bikers Beware - Citizens are Taking the Community Back". Does this mean that if I live in the community and I'm a biker that I'm NOT a citizen?! Wankers...

They've seen the ads for those 50's and 60's movies! (wouldn't actually watch such things) They know that everyone who rides a motorsikle is an unwashed, beer drinkin', noisy, cussin', rowdy nomad who wanders from town to town a-stirin' up trouble! And they don't even go to church and gossip about their neighbors on Sunday!

Of course, they are completely unaware that only crooked lawyers and politicians can afford to wander for more than a week at a time...

it's usaully ignorant people who watch those said movies that are unaware that bikers have families jobs and as a hobby/lifestyle they have bikes
in this day and age bikes are expensive and are not the cheap mode of transport most of us have to work for what we've got
are we any different to people who like any other hobby/lifestyle?????
i think not

Funny, I tried to access it but it came back as a blocked website(at work) due to the pornographic nature of the website. ???

At the current price of motorbikes, insurance and petrol, who else would be able to pay for more than 2 weeks holiday riding all at one time?
