So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Given the amount of <bleeps> I saw driving their motorcycles as if they were on a race track yesterday, I'm afraid I'm not really feeling approachable with regards to their welfare.
Obviously that doesn't mean that I'd willingly obstruct one in the path of it's journey in any way, and wouldn't condone anyone else doing so either. I just despair at how the ones I saw were behaving.
It seems they weren't the only ones on a suicide mission though given the amount of cars I saw trying to overtake on bends etc.
My point appears to have been missed, there are a lot more of us driving vans now and a lot more rushing around trying to get the job done.....just asking for you to be aware

Scooter seemed to have plenty of time to react. I've had closer shaves on a pushbike!
May be so but why should a push bike , motorbike , scooter , moped etc have to react ? You wouldn't open your door on a HGV because you know you'll lose that one.
I'm a biker myself Stormproof so know what you mean. Turn the warning on it's head..."Think Postie!"
I got out of a van the other week and was nearly wiped out by a Mountain Biker going like the clappers. They don't even have an engine to give you a warning! If he had hit me, or swerved to avoid me he would have been in a whole lot of pain as there was a 10 foot drop just to the side of the van. (Single track raised section of country road) I had to go home and change me underpants! Booked it as Protracted Delivery.
