The FortuneTeller has long lurked on the London Biker forums. I have never joined previously, since I am just a commuter and not a ‘proper’ Biker. Also, I have increasingly more problems with other Bikes as other road users.
I have some predictions to share; firstly, in the future there will be many more posts on London Bikers concerning the ineptitude of pedestrians, push-bike riders, scooters, 4x4’s, white vans and BMW drivers, but not, necessarily, in that order.
I have some specific predictions for the fair-weather Bikers travelling in from the east this last week. You on the noisy red Ducatti; I didn’t see you during the winter… perhaps it refused to start in the cold wet weather? You serve to confirm my opinion that the louder the bike, the more aggressively and poorly it is ridden. Riding at that speed on crowded and congested roads… you won’t last much longer.
To you on the noisy black v-twin thing that tried to cut me up on Gants Hill Roundabout; If I was vindictive I would hope that you didn’t last much longer. Time was when you didn’t have to worry about other bikes doing stuff like this, now it’s a ******* free-for-all.
To you on the blue and white GSXR-?. It’s not a race. Jumping the red lights doing about 80mph just past the Whitechapel Hospital, passing me as I stop; you won’t last much longer doing that. Maybe the young guy on the black Ninja with L-plate and comfy shoes this-morning has seen you do this and thinks it’s a good idea. The FortuneTeller does not think so. Most of the other road-users in that area should not be in charge of a Donkey, let alone a motor vehicle, and seem to consider red traffic lights as optional. Please be careful everyone!
Oh! lastly, one more thing. If I am stopped again by a Policeman who lectures me at length regarding the incorrect angle of dangle of my legal sized number plate, I shall not remain in stunned silence, but politely ask how the investigations into my two burglaries and stolen car are progressing after all these years.
This can be taken as a joke, or an old whinger - or a person jealous of others’ bikes & skills. But seeing as its your first post, and you’ve been ‘lurking’ for ages - please feel free to elaborate ?
What do you ride?
how long have you been riding?
Do you prefer red or blue smarties?
Do you hate it when the loo roll runs out when you’re mid-way through sending a fax? :hehe:
Hmmmmmm let me look deep into my magical ball…I predict that your name is Billy & you have no mates! I also predict that you are somewhat of a green eyed monster & anyone who can ride better than your Magical self is a “bad rider”!Get outta town Merlin & go bitch to someone who gives a magic mushroom
Wow… someone comments on fair weather bikers and the danger of jumping red lights and people get straight on their high-horse…
I read it as a bit of a laugh… but then again im not reading posts with a cliquey LBs scrutiny that it seems a lot of you are…
Fair enough… il now go and read other posts in other sections where a lot of you support taking it easy in congestion traffic, not running reds, where ppl laugh at fair weather riders… Hmmmmm sounds slightly contradictory doesnt it?
And his reply may be, “well I’ll find out for you as soon as I’ve finished reporting you for the various things I find over the next half hour whilst I’m inspecting your bike” !
