Well as for the majority of bikers wearing black leathers and clothing , what a load of cobblers that statement is
Come on, be fair, what I acutually said was
'I've followed a number of bikers at dusk. They're riding a black bike, have black clothing (which most of them seem to sport) with a miniscule rear light'.
A number, for me, doesn't mean the majority, it's a percentage of the bikers on the road who ride a black bike and wear black clothing...in point of fact, this very morning whilst waiting for my lift, another one came past...black machine, black leathers, black helmet.
I also agree with Steve M regarding the undesirable road habits of many cyclists. As far as I'm concerned, we (cyclists) have two wheels and are thus road users and so subject to all the rules and regulations of road use and we disobey them at our peril.
As to the other ejit :lol: :lol: (please note the smilie) who mentioned that Woodenbloke has an opinion on everything...it is just my opinion wot I'm entitled to, same as everyone else. The salient point here, and again, my opinion, is that motorcyclists on black machines wearing black clothing don't exhibit the greatest amount of common sense. Next time your out in the motor, just see how many you can spot...it's more than you might think - Rob
