anzo Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I won't be going, although if you're looking for a good location I recommend Matlock in Derbyshire. Its a bikers weekend, every weekend (mainly on the Sunday) with some very nice views and riding roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Why not just ride your bike to the car event? doubt there would ever be enough people to make it worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OD404 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thought I'd say that there is nothing stopping any bikers coming to the car meet, I'd even encourage it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 So that us cars have something to aim for? I jest hehe.I know you're only joking, but it's still f**king jokes when bellends in cars don't look and pull out on bikers. If I wasn't confident on my motorbike, this week I could have easily had 4/5 fatal crashes because the dumb f**ks don't look when pulling out. It angers me so so so much.

Mooore! Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 All you guys that ride bikes should save your pennies & get across the water for the 2009 TT in June.That's a bikers meet that definately won't be short on numbers Guy Martin will be riding the new Yam R1 - And it's got a Pink frame!Return trip on the IoM Steam Packet Ferry with your bikes, few nights camping at Douglas Rugby club or at the back of the TT grandstand next to all the teams motorhomes, beer / food money & the best motorcycle action you'll ever see. Need I say any more? - Get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONGO Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Bloody typical, as soon as i sell my bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Bit OTT Fish.... not being funny but bell-ends in cars is all part of riding bikes... If someone pulls out on your when your on a bike its hardly a f**king supprise and all bikers know the risks whenever they step onto a bike. Hence why ive stepped off the bike into a car.

BONGO Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You know what, in my time riding on the roads, i hardly ever came across drivers that weren't looking etc. No idea why, but i never had many close calls at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 You know what, in my time riding on the roads, i hardly ever came across drivers that weren't looking etc. No idea why, but i never had many close calls at all.Living in an area where at the time i have to be at school the average time is about 50 minutes, instead of the 15 minutes it should take the roads are madness, people rushing, cutting in sideroads to the right everywhere to get to the coast road which has less traffic, popping out of junctions without looking to gain a valuable 2 seconds, impatiant people weaving in and out of traffic....I would say i average 10 twats whenever i ride the journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abe Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 ive seen loads of people pull out on bikes, of which one motorcyclist couldnt move out of the way in time. infact it was seeing that crash that made me stay off the road bike route for the time being. cars are equally as dangerous but at least theres some metal to cushion the impact if a crash does happen, the car that pulled out was a landrover discovery, all it needed was a new head light!

531joshua Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 There may be a lot of people in cars who don't give the road as much attention as they should but there's also a lot of motorcyclists that don't.If you're willing to ride a bike on the road, yes there is reason to complain about certain road users but it's a risk you're willing to take every time you go out... obviously there's no way of really changing all the drivers out there that don't give the road their full attention so really if you're a biker, the best thing you can do is give the road your full attention, and expect the unexpected.As for the bike meet, I'd be up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
