fastbob Posted August 10, 2019 Author Posted August 10, 2019 I think I'm about to to be savaged by the Sportster Sickness FB group that I've joined. I've disagreed with the practice of sending outriders on ahead to block the entry roads to roundabouts and junctions so that the rest of the pack can pass through unimpeded . I think it's just juvenile antisocial behaviour that gives all bikers a bad name . One day someone is going to think they are about to be robbed and try to ram their way to safety. I don't think I'll be going on any runs if this is what they get up to . And got to be illegal surely? Almost certainly . They post videos of it and when I met a few of them they told me all about it . I think Sportster Sickness is a fairly diverse group but I do detect an element who have not quite abandoned their fantasy of becoming one percenters . Quote

Is that something to do with only 1% of their brain cells working? Quote
raesewell Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 The blocking of roundabouts is fairly common amongst German riding groups, not so much in the UK. The Motorists in Germany just seem to accept it. Not sure I agree with it myself. Quote
S-Westerly Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Don't agree with it at all. If you are in such a huge group non-biking folks are likely to feel threatened anyway. I'd resent it bitterly if I was trying to get somewhere in a hurry and what about emergency vehicles? Quote
