Re: What is gr8 about motorcycling?

You know when someone tells you that they don't understand why you would want to spend all day on your bicycle and you know that there is no point in trying to explain, it's like that.

Re: Yorkshire Dales/Lakes Campsites next week

Gill Head is probably worth a look, the lower field might be a bit soggy but the pitches on the hillside amongst the trees are always dry.

Re: Am I over-reacting?

I didn't imply that there was anything wrong with riding 2 abreast, only that it will generate more bad feeling than riding single file. Being in the right or wrong is pretty much irrelevant on the roads these days as I'm sure most will agree.

Re: Am I over-reacting?

Yes, you're over reacting and yes, you should chill out. If you insist on riding 2 abreast then get used to being given 'advice' from other road users.

Re: Assault 2 : Assault Harder

Just cuts and bruises, thanks. I know if I'd had the choice I'd have fought 2 of him than 1 of her, crazy cow. Can't say much until witness statements have been taken.

Assault 2 : Assault Harder

Well this should be interesting, chased off the road on a busy urban street after a verbal altercation then physically assaulted by the male and female occupants in front of half a dozen witnesses one of which was an off duty police officer. More at 11.

Re: Crazy Taxi?

In my experience I'd say it's safe to assume that if its a taxi driver, he was being an buttock.
