Molgrips – whats plenty of space to a motorcyclist and a car driver are not the same.
Teej, we've been over this already on this thread. I do appreciate this. We have also established however that motorcyclists do sometimes ride like dicks, and do dangerous stuff.
Some riding I see makes me think 'oh that's dangerous'. Now, you have no way of knowing if what I think is dangerous really is, or if it's just me being anti-motorcyclist.. do you?
For example, my wife is frequently horrified when riders zip past on country roads in short spaces, with approaching cars. I usually defend the cyclist using the exact same argument you are using. However, sometimes riders take the piss, as I am sure you will agree.
From the sound of it, MF's case was one of the piss-taking ones. He's not a nervous old grannie – I am sure that if he felt it was a near miss, then it probably was. In any case, who f*cking cares? Are you trying to prove that MF's judgement is slightly more conservative than yours? Why would you care?
We've been over it, leave it.
And Juan – you're an idiot defending someone you don't know doing something you didn't see in a place you don't know, just because they like bikes and you also like bikes. Really – think about it.
