I too was disgusted by what happened to the poor guy in question. And to top it, this happened on the southern pillly day.
Off topic:- Many pillies have been around bikes in one way or another all their lives. I am not a great one for label, but if the rider is called a biker, then so is the pilly rider. I use the word rider, because that is what a good pilly does. Some times they can stop you dropping your bike lol :-) I won't expand on that one :-)
JP, Lets just say I nearly dropped the bike when I stopped on gravel. My foot slipped with my leg fully extended. The bike was at the angle of no return and with my leg out straight I couldn't push it back up. My little Linda jumped off and pushed the bike back up. :-)
Been there myself and just saved it did my back no good at all my pillion just sat there, Well done Linda have to start calling her side stand from now on. See how long before I get a slap lol
Lol JP, you might have to wait for hallowismas for that slap , but at least side stands are useful, perhaps a little higher grade than a pilly ;-), but watch out for my muscles , can lift up large blue tourers and biker no probs , sheesh is it a bird, is it a plane , no it's super pilly lol
I'm a pilly on my own bike. I have lots of levers, buttons and twisty things that I play with but I'm not sure what they are supposed to do. Oh well I never wanted to be a biker anyway. Nasty oily people. And some of them smell funny.
