You could buy a decent Fazer at those prices, ride it somewhere and then just go for a nice walk, the perfect free exercise.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - crickleymal - 04-10-16
People who drive a 35 mph and accelerate like a retarded slug on main roads then take off like a bat out of hell on minor roads.
And people who think that because I am taking a blind bend carefully they can stick their phallic symbol right up my arse.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Fazer99 - 05-10-16
Assholes that can't drive within the fecking lines. Nearly got taken out by a Fricking Range Rover this morning as they decided they wanted 2 thirds of my lane as well :grumble :2guns :grumble
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Dave48 - 05-10-16
Everything these days has to be "supersize"-portions of food,TVs, & especially CAGES-The original Range Rover was a practical vehicle-but the "Evoque" version looks like a fashion statement gone wrong. As cars get bigger the side roads become more congested with dickheads parking every bloody place:blocking entrances,double yellows, zig-zags by schools.I HATE driving these days-my only compensation being the A44 to WALES when I get the FAZER singing :lol
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - bikemad - 05-10-16
In my van I often make them swerve back into their space cos I don't slow down or stop like some pussys do my road is classic enough room to have parked cars either side & still pass a bus but they will sit over white line ?

Harder to park/drive/reverse/more polluting& just add to the frustration & misery of trying to get from A to B. Maybe someone should explain that if their door mirrors will go through a gap so will the bloody car :eek

Hospital gowns, why do they fasten at back and not the front and why don't they fit anyone?
Had to wear one for two hours today for an ultrasound scan and pre op assessment on my right leg , all I want them to do is stop a vein in my leg from leaking!

) and after the first couple of gown pointlessness I used to to on my bike and would have a pair of shorts under my leathers and so would just strip down the them --- after telling the clipboard person, there is no need to go in to a gown for a leg scan, its just the de-fault easy position for them. There was not any point in even taking off my leathers because they would replace them with a lead blanket over my knackers to stop them from getting radiated even though they had already been disconnected from the delivery chap .
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - crickleymal - 10-10-16
I wore shorts to see the consultant because I knew he'd have to examine my knees (arthritis problems). "Hop up on the couch" he said then drew the curtain round me. About a minute later "Are you ready Mr White?" -10 points for observation there I think.

1) fucknumpties in cars who drive like they are in some kind of long trailer HGV combination and find it necessary to take a sweeping turn when turning either left or right and annoying the fuck out everyone (me).
The worst are the right turners who, whilst initially sat in what most would consider the correct positron (offside to the center of the road), then proceed with a little shimmy to the left before proceeding to turn right... :wall
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Fazer99 - 10-10-16
Impatient Cockwombles that get right up your arse when you are having to take a turning slow due to slippery roads. More oftern than not it's some jumped up little shit in a clapped out 1.4 astra but thinks he is driving a supercharged beast, it might sound like one but that's because your exhaust is fucked :2guns :grumble :2guns

Even worse are those who drive the 1/4 mile run up at 20mph before taking the sweep
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Skippernick - 10-10-16
Twatty VW van drivers who ride your arse and then undertake you clipping your handlebar to then get stuck behind the five vehicles and one large lorry in front, and then scream blue murder as you overtake again and smash his wing mirror off.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Fazer99 - 11-10-16
People that can't keep their face out of their smart phone. I had to pop into town to see a mate and I got bumped into about 5 times by dumbass teens not looking where they are going as their faces were buried in their phones, no apologies either just blank looks like zombies and when I prompted them for an apologie they looked at me like I was speaking another language.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NorthWestern - 11-10-16
Looking around for a new bike at the moment and peoples descriptions including:
"Tasteful mods" - your looking at a bike with gold chazzo leavers and a purple pro bolt kit.
"Massive Spec" - aforementioned "tasteful mods" and perhaps some semi fancy brake pads and/or a host of non performance related bolt-ons even going as far as listing the handlebar grips and spark plugs.
Listing the bike as a 2010 etc when it is in fact a late registered earlier model. The seller knows this so why not list it as such.
"Wants for nothing" - then explains a small crack in the fairing or torn seat.
"First to see will buy" - you have seen the listing on for weeks...
and on...

Yep, they're bloody dreamers on prices too.
I'm looking round for a bike too. Getting fed up of having my time wasted by going to look at bikes that turn out to be far from 'mint' :rolleyes
