Tax dodging scum

I hadn't realised so many of you had such an irrational dislike of bikers.
Most of us are good guys and girls.

YES it is a manipulation of figures. A lot of these so called bikers are just chavs riding a bike they have nicked. Others are these kids and mini bikes that should never be on the road.

My bike is SORNed over winter too.

Get a grip people.

Nothing against bikers at all, i always keep an eye out for them and (when its safe) pull to one side to let them past

My tyres are fine thanks

This is probably a statistics thing where thay see 40% of bikes not taxed and think all of them are on the road.

True, probably a statistics thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they included off-road bikes in the calc. Plenty of untaxed crossers, trials and quads out there.

A few of my friends do and did ride bikes. (All accidents unrelated to riding a bike.)

I do have an irrational dislike of people who work in the media who do any governments bidding without have a proper look at the press release they are given.

I lived in Munich for 5 years and rode my bike every day to and from work except when the roads were treacherous. -30 anyone?
I SORN it at the moment because I (up to recently) only get chance to ride it at weekends and most of my weekends at the moment are taken up with refurbing my house.
Dont come that "real bikers" tulip with me sonny. .
