There's nothing worse than a monk with a dirty habit and verbal diarrhorea .
Which lobe of the common brain do you occupy ?Or does Denis allow you free rein ?
Maybe one day , medication allowing , you will get to ride the Africa Twin .then all your frustrations will be released and your "little herbert "will take less of a bashing .
In the meantime DO come over to Canada , I have a lake ,a boat and you can troll to your hearts content .Can you swim ? Thought not - a chap would need both hands free for that .

Nope, never ridden it.
Mind you, that would surely stop me exceeding the speed limits that you seem to love so much.

Dude, Herbert, if you think an Enfield is all it takes to be a man....
Tonight I helped a 1200GS rider (or whatever you call these BMW things) to bed after too much drink. And my ride´s a Honda C90
So go and wash your mouth you nasty little troll. I know you´ve gotten a great audience here, but seriously: nobody is really interested in your stupid little crusade.
Now go on, take a real trip on your bike (if you even have one)... Post your adventures here on the HUBB on a regular basis and then, only then, after you´ve proven to be man enough to take the Bullit out of the shed and further down the road than to the local machine shop for new parts, we will reconsider your plea to be included into the brotherhood of REAL men: motorcycle travellers.
And now F**CK OFF you pussy (sorry it´s not in my nature to curse at all, but intrusions on the HUBB by useless time wasters like you just upset me).

dear dirk
Youve got a nasty streak to you! Have you ever had a sense of humour? If you dont like fun well dont read what I post. I see you've sent me a private message... well youve wasted your time - its deleted before seeing it. I'll pray for you and hope you feel better soon. I must say that it must be hell travelling with someone like you - youre so grim and unhappy. You tell me to wash my mouth out - Ive never used filthy language like you, so what are you on about? Come on apologise -lets kiss and make up? ![Thumbup1](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/thumbup1.gif) On second thoughts , no - Im worried about you helping drunk men into bed...oh no, not for me..."REAL MEN "you say -sounds a bit YMCA. I will pray that you get a nice girlfriend one day.
My Enfield goes at a cracking 45 mph with a following wind so that cant be bad. Can I join your brotherhood of real men now? I am clearly a real man; apologise- now you know this.
Bye now God bless...

Bye Del! It was good to exchange views with a normal person...there's some right nasty ones posting to me! ![Biggrin](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) That Taalman character is off the wall! Do you remember the BSA slogan -Best Shit Available? Or Joe Lucas - Prince of Darkness"?

Dodger
I dont know what youre on about in some of your post. I do know that you dont have to read what I post, but you do. Cant you lighten up a little? Can you laugh? If I told you that the moon was made of blue cheese, I fear that you would believe me and then get angry when you found out it wasnt true. If you are as naive as you seem then it might not be the best idea to travel - people will say all kind of things to you and you dont seem equipped to handle it. Will you believe the carpet salesman in Istanbul or Fez when he says "Hello - my friend!" I fear you would regard him as your friend and then pay enormous prices.
Dear Dodger, I do indeed like to fish, but I prefer flyfishing. I do not troll, but find myself surrounded by unasked-for fish I do not wish to catch but they throw themselves at me in a temper. I like people who like fun. I suggest that you "Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence".
I will indeed visit you in Canada and hope to see you in better humour. I will let you know Im coming, probably next summer, 1st week in August.
God bless and keep you.

We are far too exposed and vulnrable to allow other bad drivers to harm us. Someone in a cage blows a stopsign and hits you while talking an the phone, it's your fault for not anticipating, or not driving defensively. I never enter an intersection without making sure some knob in a cage won't kill me. I never pass someone unless i know he's aware of my presence. To say you are an incredibly safe driver and in the same line state that your four?? accidents were all their fault ruins your credibility.
Herbert, if you choose to drive the speed limit at all times, that's okay. Sometimes people need to do these types of things to make themselves feel good, but like i mentioned before, please pull over and let the rest of us by. Speed doesn't kill, speed indiference kills. You might even have less accidents if you follow the flow instead of fighting against it.

I am 100% safe. Everybody else is to blame. If I see you break the law I will pull over and phone the police with your number.

Good morning Herbie , I didn't think Denis would allow you to use the Fisher Price playschool computer on a non school day .Hooray for you .
Go and see the doctor before you come to the former colony ,get some penicillin for your pox ,I don't want you infecting the farm animals .
Wash the stains from your habit too .
I could take you hiking into the Rocky mountains , have you ever seen a Grizzly bear ?[ up close] .

Back to the thread because this HUBB is supposed to be about travellers helping travellers, not indulging in the sort of useless drivel that you go in for.
Actually a lot of surgeons (and other doctors, paramedics, nurses etc) ride bikes, and I am part of the team that has to glue you lot back together again, and most of these healthcare professionals have a vested interest in the statistics, it's their work. it also means their stats are science fact rather than government pr fiction, these are scientists after all, and I've done my share of bike riding by the way so unlucky on that one. Oh, and my university dissertation was looking at the cause of road accidents so I have done a bit of homework on this, wheras your info just comes from whatever useless rag you read.
I think you have given away the real reason for your crusade. you are deeply jealous of those who have the equipment to ride up to and beyond the national speed limit, wheras as you are incapable, this affects your sense of self worth and masculinity, you are emotionally traumatised by events in your childhood and your physical development, but your chosen steed doesn't adequately compensate for those shortcomings so instead you have to dress up your rather sad and pathetic insecurities in a personal crusade. you really shouldn't let it bother you so much, most animals aren't as worried about size as human type females are so you should be able to avoid too much ridicule, especially if you keep to a suitably low standard, a daschund maybe?
