    I was thinking the same.....the press will have a field day with it: this in local papers last week...... http://www.advertiser.ie/athlone/article/61861/born-again-bikers-are-a-danger-to-themselves-on-the-roads

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Whoever wrote that should be dragged behind your Harley in a wheelie bin. Clueless and dredging out the same old stereotyped nonsense.

    RIP to the biker in the OP.

    The AA know nothing about bikes :rolleyes: but everyone is conditioned to believe they are some sort of motoring gods, the media certainly seem to think so.

    A guy who had a Honda 50 or even a 125 30 years ago is very unlikely to have done his test, there was no incentive to do so in those days. So when he becomes 'born again' he now has to do IBT etc. You'd think they'd at least have mentioned that.

    Also telling cagers to be 'bike aware' without telling them HOW is just a waste of time. Even a couple of sentences saying to always double check when pulling out of an entrance or junction etc, or changing lane.

    Scrap the cap!
