Y'know come to think of it I've never seen a Sikh motorcyclist in 35 years of riding.
I think profiling is illegal Laz but I'll have to look that up to confirm it. I remember there being a big stink about searching Muslim's at the airport. This is what I mean about bringing in ill thought out directives, as it's hardly Swedish little old ladies that fit the terrorist profile yet security were prevented from singling out Wahabi Muslims as it amounted to profiling.
When I moved house a couple of years ago I borrowed a luton van and did it myself. It took two days and around five full van loads. By the end of the second day I was tired, dirty, unshaven and scruffy, plus driving an old van. As I was filling it with diesel before returning it I was accosted by a woman in an expensive car who told me she 'f*cking hates gypsies. :eek
That's why I mentioned earlier about the presumption made by tesco's that motorcyclists are more likely to be robbers, because people are like that. I doubt there will be any supporting evidence for the supposition, e.g. number of drive off's/amount of fuel stolen relative to bikes and cars etc.
