    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    Mikel89 WE WERE STANDING STILL AT A RED LIGHT!  :deal:

    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    When I owned my GS Adventure, I NEVER did this sort of thing? Whoever was already there at the robot in front of me had every right to be there, there was no reason to make a scene and force my way past for any reason? Within a few hundred meters we'd all have managed to pass any of the slower...

    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    :o So, could you just IMAGINE if I pull up behind you on your BMW, and rev and hoot, and "request" that you make space please because I want to filter to the front of all of you?  ::) Naa, look, like I said, my question originally related to "why" some people feel it's their right to push past...

    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    So then the question begs, when in any form a queue, do you simply barge past? When buying a beer or groceries, do you simply force your way past other people who are all standing in that queue? That's the reason for my question and rant! No, I didn't HAVE to move over for you, but I was going...

    Bike crash and insurance

    What TheBear said, that's awesome news Rob, and plus, that doesn't look "write-offable".. especially if you know and enjoy the bike, rather get it fixed and everyone will be happy. I remember when I dropped my Vstrom because of a light jumper, the bioke itself was fine, just all the various...

    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    :thumleft: weather he's on here or not, I'm not wanting to make the situation any worse, I was just trying to understand what makes you on your big bike DEMAND I must move over while standing still at a robot? Its THAT attitude that I find astounding. And Gerhard, make no mistake boet, I get...

    A vent about riders and this sense of self-entitlement.

    Similarly to a thread a while back about some Harley guys with this self-entitlement attitude, and having seen and been on the receiving end of one or two of these types of riders, I've decided to ride with my camera, and to capture if any some of these guys who feel entitled and above everyone...

    Shops, Dealers and Mechanics on forums

    Agree, however I think the dealer naturally has a lot more to lose by going off the deep end. It's his method of income, and if he committed business suicide by mouthing off a customer, irrespective if the customer was a box or not, the dealer will always come off 2nd best. It's the nature of...

    I hear some madman rode Africa top to bottom in 8 days?!

    :laughing4: I think because Andrew has just made many of the hardcore bike riders on the forum feel very in-capable.. We have a god among us..  :thumleft: 8)

    Legal Question: Who carries the loss?

    But I'd hesitate to add, they AGAIN have a 3 to 4 month backlog! So, patience might be required in this scenario. I usually have very little, had to endure 3 months of waiting for two parcels out of the UK..  :eek7:

    To the red Gs800 tableview rider

    But the box shouldn't be in the yellow lane at 100 km/h 2SD! Why must the driver of the car look in his mirrors if he's in the left lane, next to the yellow line? There's nothing supposed to be passing you there..  :-\ No pal, this guy, and a few other tools that insist on doing 100 plus in...

    Does anybody know this BMW rider/vandal?

    We don't have a right to get pissed! Cars can drive where they want just like we can. They help to make our lives easier by maintaining a wide gap to filter through, but they are not obliged to do so.. The cowards that feel these cars is inconveniencing them are exactly that, a bunch of D00S...

    Does anybody know this BMW rider/vandal?

    There are guys here who can trace plates etc. I agree he should be named and shamed. No need for such behavior. Splitting through traffic is not a RIGHT, it's a benefit that comes with commuting. Never abuse that benefit. (maybe benefit is the wrong word here, but it's a Perc.)
