What you really don't want is a group of teachers on a bitterly cold Friday when it's a full moon.
That's a recipe for disaster.  :rollin

...especially if they are drinking Teachers.

I'll get me coat :o.........

I don't actually mind them at all, in fact i find them very entertaining, especially when they finish for the summer holidays, that's when they're on their worst behaviour.  :evil
I wouldn't wanna do their job, they deserve a bit of fun.

Grease guns that keep getting an air lock in them no matter how carefully you pack the grease in and you're constantly having to take the bleed screw in and out.

Unsilenced 125's. There's one comes past every morning.

Foccin racket.

At least big bikes sound good loud.

There's an annoying foccer lives across the road from me with a YZF125 with the loudest exhaust you've ever heard.
He screams off down the road at 7.30 every morning, after sitting at the side of the road revving it while he waits for a gap in the traffic.  :grumble

What is it with mainly scooter riders that have their high beam on at night?
Totally unnecessary and blinds the fuck out of you in the wing mirrors.

That's annoying but what really pisses me off is the idiots on bigger bike riding on main beam during the day. Even on the sunniest day it's dazzling and it's becoming an epidemic.

And that's fair enough but pissing off every other road user isn't particularly defensive is it?

Now then I might be part of this problem because I have a boxeye with modded lights so both sides are on which means that the right side points to the right for continental riders so that it points to their kerb but when we mod the bike to get both lights on it means that the left light has a bias to the kerb but the right light also has its bias to the right ( for continental)  so even though it is not full beam the right light it is pointing at the on coming traffic and does look brighter than the left one

I don't think that would cause that kind of blinding brightness cos dipped beams point down rather than straight into your eyes and as Frosties said it's often the adventure tourers that do it, with their 5 foot high headlights and badly aimed spotlights.

The many idiot users of this forum,

THEY really do not understand how and why sites such as this work

1 They do not know where the buttons are.
2 They are drunk or drugged
3 They were looking for Porn.

PS> I class myself in all of the above categories

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Eh?
Do you have European lights, is that what you're saying?

They're adjustable anyway, but the right light still shouldn't be aiming right at all, not if it's a UK spec headlight unit.

Note: As I'm typing this, the song on the radio strangely enough is "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann  :lol
