People who think that knee-downs and "chicken strips" are somehow a measure of a biker's worth

Knee down agreed

Chicken strips are a good sign of fishing out over confident riders who talk the talk before a group ride.

Dude his bike idles at around 110db, that's pretty much louder than most!

You serious?

Damn, I take it back then... He goes on the toss list

Typically I'd agree, but you've got to account for recent riding habits and whether or not the tires are new. Chicken strips aren't static, they'll get wider if you don't get the chance to run through some twisties for a while, especially if you're a daily commuter. They're great for telling people that you're not completely full of it, but when it comes to them being wider than expected...they don't really say a whole lot, unless they're 2 inches wide of course.

Last I heard the driver of the SUV was in the hospital suffering stab wounds, a cop essentially lost his job, and there were a handful of jail sentences issued. Not sure how accurate all that is though. You have to bear in mind that trials are not fast, by any stretch. I doubt the court cases are all finished by now.

court cases finished? .. not if reasonable lawyers are in on it... those buggers can stretch things out till they get a very fat fee!

If I had to pick one single thing it would have to be tailgating bikes. I saw one not too long ago following a truck with a low trailer. If traffic where to suddenly stop for whatever reason he would be on said trailer.

People who are irresponsible riders, and by irresponsible, I mainly mean those who pull wheelies and perform stoppies and burnouts on public roads. There's just no need, and it gives motorcyclists a bad name.

I'm not perfect, but I've never pulled a wheelie, done a stoppie or burnout on public roads

 

[CBRHoonigan]

bikes make me do naughty things

Sped today to catch up to a girl rider who was playing cat-and-mouse... only time I've done anything bad. Never caught up to her - she was good 'n tricky ~_~ .....

 

[O8ride]

Bikers who tailgate, filter at high speeds, and those who compare chicken strips as if they are a badge of dishonour. Oh, and rather fat guys in skin tight leathers, lol
