We're at a bike rally.

Different situation, but I was suspended from a teaching job following an allegation of physical assault based solely on the complaint of a child. Despite apparent witness statements supporting me I was given no details for six months. Only then was I told what the actual complaint was. He claimed I dragged him through the school by his hair. I laughed. "Why," asked the interviewing officer, "was (I) laughing?" "...Because he has a f@&£;:g shaved head!" It was six months of hell. Colleagues were banned from talking to me, people in the village shunned me, they were all told 'assault' and left to let their imaginations run riot. My lad was a toddler at the time - suddenly he was not invited anywhere. My wife was isolated with our freshly born girl by other mums at the group. The whole experience has left me risk averse when it comes to people, a pretty confirmed misanthropic soul. You have my sympathies, it was deeply unfair to put you through that. Well done you for the outcome.

Chaffing, mainly.

All online, never watch normal TV.

Never in the history of ever has this been said about me. I've getting this made into a mug, a wedding present for the wife and a back tattoo.

I'm hook, line and sinker into The Strain. Everything the Walking Dead should be but with with added Blade. And plot. And dialogue. And no season 2 on the farm.

The reduced price jackets from Triumph Outlet meet your £100 limit and will be superior to eBay tat. The one I got last month is outstanding and has understated logo branding to boot.

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen ... what do you mean I can't take them into the changing room?"

Being friendly? Certainly one of my first questions at dinner parties.

Should people who can't filter really be going on a mass rideout on the M25? It's the thing that puts me off doing big ride events. On a demo in Belgium I witnessed idiots hitting each other. And, after sighing at seeing a few minor knocks, I was next to a guy who got ploughed into by a vapid idiot rider on the first Ride of Respect at Wooton Basset- so he completed his day in an ambulance.

Surely, being on a plane is the best opportunity to look down on people? Nice

Those videos. I've not seen such pisspoor riding in an age. Not since I was 17 in fact. I hope you make it out of 2016 in one piece.

It was a dogging spot?

I don't remember a gag in the film, are you sure you weren't watching a cheeky bdsm version?

We hand over a marked up bike with blues and twos to riders, insisting that those riders have an advanced qualification is the best way that we can think of having our bikes ridden in a consistent, safe and courteous manner. I apologise for the wording, that's what comes from being woken up at 4:30 in a house gone mad! It was confrontational and possibly insulting, for that I'm sorry. I stick by the sentiment that teaching people to ride "with progress" just encourages poor decision making and a false sense of security. If people want to go fast there are race days, B roads are not for that. BB are welcome to use any selection criteria they see fit, I don't agree with it.

I agree. Most accidents occur when diesel or oil is involved. https://www.mceinsurance.com/resources/uk-motorcycle-accident-hotspots/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My plan is to do a number of offroad courses next year, the Africa Twin two-dayer in Wales being at the top of the list. Other tips for avoiding accidents is not to be young, don't be male, don't ride in cities, don't ride at 30mph or 60mph, stick mainly to East Anglia (unless you're a woman) and do all your riding at night.

Not a fan. Went out on a couple of sample days and found the whole thing pushing a speed agenda. You only need to be looking at vanishing points if you're tanking it - the solution is to not ride like a dick, not become a safer dick. Done the 'Day out with a copper' one, that was actually useful. We chatted about road positioning regarding other traffic and junctions, and I've factored that into my riding. So, advanced instruction is probably useful if you love riding in groups, riding as a dick or wearing high-viz a lot. Doing the days out with coppers is probably good for most people, a lot cheaper and you don't have to hang about with a bunch of sanctimonious certificate wavers. And the fact that blood bikes demands advanced training even though it's normal road riding says a bunch to me about their elitist mindset. Like all things, I'm frequently wrong.

You could always try a bit of intent to supply?

Don't think you'll get far with that argument seeing as Benn hasn't posted on the forum since 2013 Also back then, at the tender age of 17, he'd still only be doddling round on a 125. And unable to drink in pubs. "> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If there's a legion of fluffy nocturnal garden crapping bird killers then I'm out.

Ahh, the great woman shortage of 1972. I read about that in History class.

Arrived yesterday. Great fit, heavier than a fat kid who doesn't like PE.

Follow them to their home, write down the address and send them a card.

Thanks for the link - pulled the switch on an Endeavour jacket as it looks like it'll tick the boxes: covered zip, high neck, removable internal waterproof lining and decent venting if we ever get any nice weather again. Excellent call. Now to hunt for some new boots.
