i actually believe that all people who now want to do there driving test should have to take a cbt and ride a bike on the road for at least 3 months before passing there tests. i can tell you now theres more car drivers that are ******* on the road then there are bike riders and the majority of the bad car drivers drive performance cars because they believe they have the superior vehicle.
Clearly there are more ******* in cars, most people drive a car and the ones that have bikes also have cars ..
Every performance car and I don't class an Impreza as a performance car, I've seen drives like miss daisy .. I have never once seen a really powerful car, going quickly ..

dont be a cheeky **** and skip the queue then, get a place like everyone else, i ******* hate when some **** on a gixxer feel the need to cut up the middle of rush hour inches from my wingmirror and then sit at the front revving his death machine.
I have no symapthy for bikers, (pedal and road) cos 99 percent of them think they can ignore the rules of the road and ride like *****!

Within a month of me passing my test, I was hit from behind whilst waiting to pull out on a roundabout, by a woman who hadn't even seen me! I had not been filtering and was in a 'normal' position in the road on my bike.
When we are training for the test, we are taught that as a motorcyclist, you should try to make progress whenever you can-by filtering whenever possible. Motorcyclists are trained to a higher standard in terms of the test now, simply because we also need to be taught things like the "swerve test" to avoid collisions.
I can honestly say that learning to ride a motorbike has made me a better driver.
Don't be ignorant and tar us all with the same brush because admittedly, like in any sphere, there are idiots who ride that are simply dangerous. We aren't all like that!

I really hope all of the anti-bike posts on this thread are a poor attempt at winding people up, otherwise its very scary that people with such low intelligence can actually pass their tests to be let loose on the roads

Why would a biker filter to the front of traffic and then pull away slowly to be a sandwich filling between two massive chunks of steel ? I have never seen a bike pull away and hold up the traffic on either side, even if one of the car drivers hates the fact he cant filter so races off like a lunatic
TDW does a good impression of PSL though

Gutted .. that's my plans ruined for tonight ...
I don't know.. I like bikes, I like the power .. I have no issues with being overtaken and hopefully do all I can (as much as I know how) to make life simple and safe for them .. I had a 125 for about a year and I was scared for my life each day .. I'm not about to get stroppy with a biker because they want to go passed, as someone who drives quick, I totally understand ...
Just go fast then ffs

I both drive and ride, and some of the views being espoused on here quite frankly scare me 
I really do fail to understand why people feel the need to be so downright obnoxious whenever they get behind the wheel
As a rider I've never lt the need to sit revving the bike at lights, I prefer to take the opportunity to have a sit up and take the weight off
I have though encountered riders of that type, usually on sportsbikes (often Ducatis) and tend to just roll my eyes
PS: Yes I do filter in heavy traffic, I do try to be courteous, and I've never knowingly held anyone up when the lights change

The whole revving thing normally relates to 16 year olds on mopeds. They have no clutch or gears so they have to play with something!! lol
On the other hand, my VFR has quite a loud exhaust. When filtering though traffic, the odd little rev (while still rolling) makes people more aware that you are there

my missus is learing to drive now and is constantly told to look out for inconsiderate bikers, whats your point?
My opinion is tainted cos my parents live almost on the cat and fiddle, plenty of ******* riding bikes round here, all with a death wish.
Ive got out of my car and legged it after some **** on a 'busa that thought he could be a **** on the silk road and badly cut me up, he was gone on the silky but i guessed where he was headed and soon caught him in the twisties, he then got off at the pub and started actinh hard, then i got out and he **** himself!
Its like my view on horses, tainted by the selfish middle class ***** who think the road is exclusively for them and woe betide anyone who dares use their road.
Living in the countrty surrounded by those two types of fcukwits really makes me hate the sound of a bike cos i know it will be some **** wanting to race the scoob, or the sight of another rich kid ona horse too big for them being followed by mummy on fcking masssive horse gesturing and shouting at all and sundry to slow down when they are doing 30 in a 50 just cos her precious baby is riding her new horse, GET THE **** OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A FIELD.
BIKERS GET ON A TRACK AND DONT WEAVE IN AND OUT ON DUAL CARRIAGE WAYS AND WAIT YOUR TURN IN QUEUES ( or i will accidentally open my door to pick up my dropped cigarette just when you ride past to the front of the queue) not really

For horses I slow down, turn the music down and would coast past a horse as not to spook them.
I am a firm believer of treating others how expected to treated.

Looks to me like a fair bit of the old "green eyes" on this thread largely becuase of the outstanding performance of a half decent bike and also the abilty to filter through traffic which is very easy to do without causing any problems.
There will always be the "harum scarum" types on bikes, just as we see with high performance cars. That is down to the individual but does not entitle all bikers to be tarred with the same brush!
