Stu Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 This is straying off topic now and getting ugly....so, keep it nice or I'll lock it down.... bet I beat you to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Why are horses even allowed on roads? They don't pay road tax, the owners are arrogant as f***, they all ponder round on 60mph roads and then have the BARE FACED AUDACITY to wave you down angrily?! Unfortunately shooting their horse 1st, then their kneecaps is against the law. So you basically have to point out that they have an animal sh****g on a public highway! causing an obstruction on a high speed carriageway (anything 50mph and over is classed as highway), inciting roadrage pertaining to section 5, public disorder. Yet they cuss you? Keep the beasts in a field, this ain't the Wild West anymore, they're not pets, pets are animals that can sit on your lap. horses are good for nothing but racing and burgers, possibly historical reenactments , we invented the engine a fair few years ago now. Get with it you stuck up c***s!Anyway as for dangers? I agree with all the above, treat everything like your life depends on it.... Oh wait, it actually does! Sounds a bit like you are the one foaming at the mouth here - you are probably the kind of person who roars up to a horse at warp speed then rev your nuts off because it has made you slow down, and then tar all people with the same brush due to angry responses you get. Yes I do ride horses but certainly don't intend to get into any kind of 'debate' with someone of the above views, which by the way I take great exception to and is an IGNORANT statement by which I mean RUDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamboRambo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Good I won't bother to demean myself by commenting on your ignorant ranting Oh I'm sorry, you disagree with me so use the term ignorant? Ignorant by definition is incorrect you realise? Everything I speak of is absolute fact mixed with opinion. The fact that I can envision you foaming at the mouth whilst writing that tells me that your a fan of horses and believe they should populate our roads which is the only alternative to my opinion. You'd demean yourself in engaging in debate with me? Yet another insult. I'm here to make friends not have people abuse and insult me for an opinion I have voiced, and stand by to the death.Like I said I'm not here to argue, if you have a difference feel free, but don't make it personal. You never know I may have been some use to you some day. You have a strange way of making friends, and for the record, you were the one who made it personal with your barrage of insults about anyone who owns horses... If you cant ride a bike well enough to avoid the horse poo, thats your problem, not the horses! I didn't quote you or the other guy/girl did I? I didn't say that I had any distain toward you or anyone in particular, this is about my own experiences with absolute retards who have the cheek to tell me to slow down when I'm doing under the speed limit and they happen to be sat upon a wild animal in the middle of the road that is one skid sound of a tyre away from rearing, killing its rider and attacking anything or anyone in its path whilst leaving leaving deposits that in my OPINION is nothing short of littering and making the roads unsafe for cars/bikes whatever. I don't think I stand alone in having the (backed up I might add) belief that if your going to own a horse, so what? Who cares? Just keep it in a safe place away from roads and if you absolutely HAVE to take it on roads because you can't afford a horsebox or whatever (but can afford the horse?), then put signs up indicating a danger well ahead of it. I say this as a car driver and one who has grown up in the countryside with MANY MANY friends who own and ride, I've even had a go myself! Bloody good fun actually. So for the record I state again, based on fact and opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Damn....beat me to it again stu..... The issue here is that you ride to the local conditions......if you're in the countryside expect mud and sh*t on the road.....if you're near a filling station expect fuel spills.....etc. You are responsible for your own safety on the roads.....drive and ride with that in mind!! And also drive and ride with consideration for other road users........and pedestrians......this time when you come round that corner it may be horse sh*t in the road....next time it may be a child.....

SamboRambo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 To remy and joeman..I apologise if my comments have caused offence. This has gone too far now and by no means am I innocent in this.

Its ok, im going to locate all of your many horse riding friends and point them to what you've been saying about everyone who rides horses... I think you've clearly got issues... maybe stemming from a deprived childhood when all your "many many friends" got a pony for their birthday and you got a lump of poo?? maybe thats why you hate horses and horse poo so much....

techno Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 You've all been told the lad has apologised so let's leave it at that or this thread will be locked.Let's also try to respect how other people choose to ride, if people like to get a lick on as I can assure you a good number of members do on this forum that's there choice same as its other members choice to ride like the may as well have stuck on a 125, we all hopefully ride to have fun what we deem fun is our personnel choice, and just to add I like to have a bit of both when on my own because going balls to the wall constantly is tiring and its nice to have a look about.

Haha! You'd be wasting your time, they all know! I used to call a close friend a girl for riding horses when I was about 16?that was ignorant, Probably shouldn't have really as his mother financed us being able to ride crossers all the time... I've never been one for diplomacy...I work on the motorway and see many horses at the fence lines all the time. There's a particular one on the M5 that always comes for a nuzzle, tries to eat me but friendly non-the-less. I filed a report for one on the m6 as the conditions were absolutely appalling, you wouldn't have kept a prisoner on those grounds, I never did get a lump of poo you know... At least bridges are not being burnt any longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 [ote=cockercas]Same shit diffrent day. i can die crossing the road but if i die in a fast car or on a fast bike then atleast ive gone with a smile on my face. The arrogance and naivety of youth - we've all been there... Luckily most live to grow out of it... Daft thing is... I get the feeling he's not all that young. Oh well, it's all dealt with by natural selection in the end.We are all delt with in the end. Fact is in life theres the people who do things go fast, fly, go into space, discover new countrys etc and then theres the followers who use all the tec developed to help the do'ers in the first place. Helmets, leathers,tyres, gps, computers etc all come about because someone wanted to be better, bigger go further then anyone else. Im not old. Im 24. I shoot centerfire rifles (.243), i load my own ammo for my guns and i run them seriously hot,well over the safe published data but in doing so i can put 4 shots in 0.3 inch at 100 meters and 5 shots in 2.5in at 300m. Imo that is more risky then riding fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I got no problem with you thrill seekers, no problem at all. Plus as a smoker I'm not going to lecture others about playing fast and loose with their health. Just try not to kill any of us normal folk whilst your taking it to the Max, pushing it to the limit or whatever it is you free thinking mavericks call it.
