i know but if you have the illusion that bikes are cool...
they must be treated with the upmost respect as they are deadly

Who cares if they die??

Dying's nothing to be worried about - you're not going to regret it after you're gone. Other people might be affected by your death, but you won't be ... other than being dead of course.

But yeah, bikes are a bit wank aren't they. I mean.. two wheels? What's all that about.

If I wanted two wheels I'd buy a mountain bike or a BMX.

Even Reliant Robin's have THREE wheels

this is how scared i am of even clipping a bike
put it this way i was driving along a dual carigeway a week - ish ago and there was a bike behind me i kept checking the mirror to see where he was then he went into the slow lane and eventually into my blind spot

i was scared of hitting him that much i slowed to a point where he was infront of me and i could keep a eye on him

i know what can happen and the injuries that can occur.

Bikes don't interest me - they're boring and lonely - you can rarely share the experience with anyone as it's just not the same for passengers.

Ooh, maybe you could meet up with other bikers - all cycle to a pub on a Sunday and drink coke whilst talking about cycling around.. great stuff.

Nah, as long as you saw him once who cares where he went. He's got better peripheral vision than you and you can't be expected to spend all your journey checking out where he is on the road in relation to yourself.

Just because he's able to cycle through gaps between cars doesn't mean he should. Ok you might lose a wing mirror, but fingers crossed you'll clip him and he'll lose a bit of blood

They're great. If you ever get the chance to go on a proper bike and go round corners actually needing the netal caps on your boots and the sliders on your knees, you'll understand then!

What's so fantastical about a corner?
If I wanted to wear leather and stuff I'd go to a fetish club

Oh, gokarting is shit too.

I would like to go that fast and have nothing between me and the road but air.

That would mean I was flying. That would be good.

If I wanted a motorcycle I would need to learn more about their world - http://www.uniform-man.com/moto/

However, motorcycling is not flying. It is for people like Herbert.

why were you scaired of hitting him

do you think this every time you see a car in your mirror

as long as your driving how you should be driving, ie using the correct lanes, staying in one lane, not straightlining round abouts, using signals correctley, then whats the problem

If your doing everything right and he hits you becuase he's riding like a twat then its his problem, not yours. (and thats from a bikers point of view)
