People that know fec all about bikes but claim they do.Have a look at this ad from Gumtree.https://www.gumtree.com/p/yamaha-motorbikes/yamaha-fazer-fzs600-for-sale.currently-sorn-and-no-mot.-will-service-the-motorbike-for-buyer-4-free/1192890395 to top it off, they know its shit so wont even give their phone number.I did offer the guy £450 for it a few weeks back but he claims its worth every penny of the £999 he has it advertised for even with a knackered battery/tyre/paint etc
The idiot on the moped I've been encountering the last few days. Not content with having an illegal L plate 2.5 inches across they also ride at 22 mph in the gutter. That's bad enough but this idiot has a habit of filtering past traffic to the front of the queue at traffic lights. All well and good you say, that's what bike are for. But if you then travel at 22 mph all the traffic you've just overtaken then has to overtake you within 100 yards of the lights FFS.Not content with that, I was stuck behind a bus and a car trying to get past a pushbike which was using the cycle lane. (since adding in a cycle lane on both sides of the road it's made the space for cars 6 foot narrower which makes it harder to overtake bikes if there's opposing traffic). Bugger me if this prat then undertakes me and the car in front and is contemplating undertaking the bus as well when the bus fortunately managed to get past the bike.

It doesn't help that a lot of the Police I know don't actually know the full laws on L plate riders as the other day a lad on a moped with L plates had a pillion on the back rode past an officer down the white line and did nothing, so I stopped next to the officer and asked why he did nothing and he didn't know that it is illegal for learner riders to carry pillion passengers

Sod getting on the back of a bike with a learner riding it.

The problem with all that is that people now think they can do it too. I was in an antique place and the owners were getting pissed off with everyone saying "will you take"
