My RS4 is quicker in acceleration, top speed and round corners than my 1100cc Honda. Does that make it an object of hate too?
I don't have a fondness for tractors, traction engines, steam trains or trains in general, but I could never say that I hate them. Just trying to understand the use of such a term against a mechanical item.
Personally, I dislike the sort of idiot who gives the rest of us a bad name and the term biker (for me) encompasses such a person. I prefer to be known as a motorcyclist and I can tell you with complete honesty that I never wanted to own an engine on two wheels until I was old enough to respect it. Having a bike has made me a better car driver and I have learned so much more about roads which I prevously thought I knew well. Don't knock it until you've tried it..........

Has Mrs DG given you an inferiority complex?
I've been married 16 years ..any notable capabilities are now just a figment of her imagination
I guess that it's not the machine or in most cases the rider just the knowledge of comparative likelihood of death ...what are we up to now 15+ x a car driver
In reality I am more likely to get MRSA or a flesh eating disease ...though apparently I did have that flesh eating bug in my teens

19 years for me and the capabilities are still there - in my imagination...... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom
