Fair point Tony. I have a bike and a car and enjoy them both and I would be the first to admit I have seen some poor riding in my time.
The point I was making was that most of the complaining posts above involve biker's interaction with other road users and in cases where those accidents occur statistics show it’s usually not the biker's fault.
I do find it some what amusing that a minority group (enthusiast who enjoy performance cars) who are often vilified by the wider public as driving unnecessarily loud, fast, fuel guzzling vehicles, like to get on the soap box and complain about another minority group (bike enthusiasts) who enjoy vehicles that are perceived as being unnecessarily fast, loud, etc. You have to admit it is somewhat ironic?

Today I drive a modified STI. When I changed the exhaust I chose one to enhance performance but also to keep within acceptable noise levels, I try to be considerate to other road users. Come over were we live on a Sunday afternoon you would see why i get on my soap box (but it would have to be a dry and sunny Sunday!)

Darwinian selection indeed....
An ex-colleague of mine "thought" the pick-up truck infront of him was over-taking....
He wasn't, he was turning right at a junction.
Down goes bike, snap goes wrist, sold goes bike.
No LOL.
