My mum still asks me when I'm going to stop riding and grow up ( I'm fifty for focs sake I tell her )
But one of the things that's true today as much as it was when I was 16 is being a biker is like being in a big club, riders nod or acknowledge you as you ride , chat at traffic lights , stop to help if they can when your in trouble and most of the best times I've had have somehow involved a bike. Except those ignorant BMW fuckers who have a real unhealthy superior attitude. Bastards won't nod. chat at lights and try to barge their way through unless their on an old K75 :grumble
Fixed that for you Graham - don't thank me, it's Xmas
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
