People who drive with fog lights on in clear conditions, then this morning in thick fog I saw loads of cars with no lights on at all?
people who put for sale signs on cars/bikes etc without putting a price on.
Guys switching their bike off with the kill switch. Its just a bit like stalling your car purposely every time to switch it off instead of using the key

Its just a bit like stalling your car purposely every time to switch it off instead of using the key I don't see it's a big deal. If you stopped, held the clutch in with the bike still in gear, then held the front brake and let the clutch out, that would be stalling it (and probably not good), not simply cutting power to the ignition.I used to stop the engine on the kill-switch because my bike has an alarm and when I switch the main key off it starts arming which would cause it to go off if I'm still pushing the bike into the shed or getting stuff out of the top box. I only stopped doing this when I found that it was leaving the headlight on which was draining the battery, so now I have to switch the key off, then back on for two seconds, then off again which puts the alarm into service mode. I then have to remember to re-arm it before I walk away...

I had one clever soul follow me for about 1/2 mile completely oblivious to any gesture I made and ignoring me turning my lights off and on again.
All the year round fireworks. When I was a kid November 5th was magical, we looked forward to it almost as much as Christmas. Now every other night is firework night .

The missus was offered overtime on Sunday night to put up the Xmas decorations- she works for Tesco.It's the same every year, as soon as Halloween is over the whole thing kicks off! I was in Asda last week before Halloween and they were putting the decorations om the tree that might of been put there by night shift, bit anyway, I said to the staff "bit early"? Reply was....."no way, would be even earlier if we didn't have to wait on the boss telling us to do it" says it all really I expect 'Black Friday' will soon be rammed down our throats, the latest consumerist festival to be foisted upon us your right, they just want us to spend our hard earned cash on others instead of ourselves or our beloved bikes

Just saw another advert last night. We have to start a rebellion about this
