Ride. Rest. Repeat.

Top Gear Anti-Bike Article

Reprinted from MCPhils

An article in Top Gear Philippines entitled “Those Menace on Two Wheels” by Jesus Erle Sebastian, has caused an uproar in the motorcycle community.

Apparently the author has had several run-ins with bikes in his lifetime and feels that has given him the authority to make sweeping statetments about all of us.

Let me get this off my sagging chest. I hate bike riders. Come to think of it, hate doesn’t really describe what i think of those menaces on two-wheels. They violate all traffic laws known to man. They weave in and out of lanes, at times going against the flow of traffic. They are all color blind-they can’t distinguish red from green or yellow.

And he gets nasty too…..

I ashamed to admit it but I sometimes feel a twinge of enjoyment reading about bike riders getting creamed in accidents-not killed, mind you, just injured, preferably with a broken bone or two so they will be off the streets an not be a danger to others for a couple of months.

So, you don’t want us killed, just maimed, mind you, that’s ok in your book.
