Good evening TDM'ers....... is that PC enough ?
Sorry, I'm maybe still a bit traumatised. With some idle moments on my hand now that the Memsahib has been returned from exile in Scotland and resumed her duties, I'd taken to looking at quite a few other UK based Motorcycle Forums, you know, just to get my fair share of the views.....
Well, let me tell you, I've never encountered such a bunch of cretinous self-centred imbeciles. I doubt whether I encountered a single genuine motorcyclist. I don't mean "Bikers ", they're nowadays just rich posers, got the bike, got the gear, just waiting for a clue to turn up ! Then there's BMW owners, if you don't have an R1250GS less than three months old, you don't exist ! And there's so many of them that class filling the tank with fuel as major technical maintenance, wouldn't thinks of touching the bike with a spanner...whatever that is ?
One recommended ride-out caught my eye, it was through Glasgow city centre and it was just "pure dead brilliant, man, there's so many big shop windows for you to get a good look at yourself "
When you read some of the posts, you just wonder how these dimwits are allowed on the road without a lead ? Now I'm really concerned about you British TDM'ers, for christ's sake watch out for these buggers ! I'm just glad I'll never ride in the UK again.
The other thing is the politics, or more correctly "Political Correctness" One poor soul announced that he was in the habit of naming his motorcycles and was howled down for being a deranged sexual pervert !....amongst other things.
So yes, just to confirm it, Carpe TDM is without a doubt the most civilised, sensible and well mannered Forum on the entire internet.
And it's got a sense of humour....!!
