I live near the A272....it has already taken 2 bikers this year.

I travelled the M3 yesterday and witnessed numerous bikers doing 80/90mph
weaving between cars/lorries from lane to lane....Yes once they have that
license.........it's to kill......someone.

I think you inadvertently posted to the wrong newsgroup.

uk.rec.motorcycles is probably the most appropriate group for
discussing the merits and skills of motorcycling.

What do you expect from a hater with nothing better to do than slag off
motorcyclists.

Many of those weaving in and out on the motorway had all the correct gear
on, high vis vests, leathers, boots, gloves and looked very
professional...........but they had forgotten to insert their brains in
their craniums before setting out. There is a signs up on the 272 that say
'Think Biker' This I feel is arse about face, it should say 'Biker Think'

Not quite.

Any accident on a motorcycle or cycle at high speed is a potentially fatal
accident or one where substantial injury will occur to the rider.

No serious biker will risk either himself or his equipment recklessly. Very
rarely do two wheelerists kill other people.

Yesterday, fire engine coming the other way on a narrow B road, blues
and twos on. We all move to the verge and slow down or stop. Biker
decides to overtake us all, then has a job to get out of the way of the
fire engine, thus delaying it. The fireman made a rude gesture.
