SlyNB Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 You don't know bikers then. The negative image comes from what we call patch clubs Hells Angels, Blue Angels etc etc and believe me, I utterly despise them. The bikers that I'm going to spend the weekend with are fine, salt of the earth types, there's no safer place for Kay to be. But stereotyping people, well, I do know that Blackburn will be a better place this weekend as all the neds and dealers are off to.....yep, TITP. Bikers are just fat middle aged men trying to act like their teenagers, usually on bikes far too powerful for them and driving like A holes. Very sad indeed. And as someone else as mentioned, I guarantee more bikers die this weekend than TITP party goers. Drugs rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Deek says most bikers get damaged due to myopic/careless car drivers. Having said that, I suspect you're just jealous because you don't have the bollox to ride a motorcycle.

Lol, I'd say my comments are spot on, don't tell me you're another one of these sad overweight middle aged thrill seekers. I'd suspect you're jealous of festival goers due to the large amount of time you seem to spend sitting behind a PC screen. As I said, very sad indeed. Drugs rock.

Therapist Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Lol, I'd say my comments are spot on, don't tell me you're another one of these sad overweight middle aged thrill seekers. I'm not overweight or sad, but I do ride a high powered sports motorcycle. It's great, but it takes bollox to do it. Some people just don't have it. As for Miller's comments, car drivers and bike riders all speed. The thing is I always stick to speed limits in built up areas, which is more than most car drivers do. As for overtaking "on the blind side", I've no idea what that means. But if you mean undertaking or overtaking when coming into a bend, then only lunatics - including plenty of car drivers - do that.

this_is_my_story Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It is disproportionately high compared to other festivals I have been to. You don't have to count, you just tend to notice the Burberry-clad goons off their face on cider and chanting "Here we, here we, here we fecking go" as they dance around and get in everyones way. Some people are so easily offended its unreal. That's because you offend easily. Incidentally, I happen to be the owner of a couple of rather stylish Burberry garments. Do you prefer Top Man?

skotskosparta Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 :mad: Every biker and every TITP attendee will die. Rather than come out with disgusting pesh like that, why don't you tell us why you're such a staunch supporter of the Leith vermin that you didn't even bother attending the biggest derby match ever on 2/4/06. That's easy money! As i've told you severaltimes before, but maybe in your old age your forgetting things! Now get over yourself and come up with something NEW, as you bore me and others on here!

K1874M Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 How many bikers will die compared to TITP attendees? Bikers are just a menace on the roads. Thanks. Why bring death in to it, tool... Bikes are superb, great mode of transporting your self whilst having a little fun. People who slate them, as Therapist has said, havent experienced it at first hand.... imo. Driving about in an organised gang which reputation goes before it could be seen as anti social as some ned culture, depending on the person is that is effected. TITP - Yes neds will be there but will be the minority, like in popular gatherings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skotskosparta Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Why bring death in to it, tool... Because it is a discussion ! And a discussion about bikers goes hand in hand with death!

So please less of the tool naming as I am sure that's classed as personal abuse in the rules ok Kickback..... safety's an issue. But the reason I brought it up was that every one who doesnt drive or ride a bike seem to think its bikers that cause a multitude of problems. People in cars are far more likely to kill some one that some one on a bike. Some one on a bike has the capability of killing themself, but who hasnt. The debate was about, in my mind, anti social behaviour, people being offended by another, some one on a bike who has the power to do themselves harm rather than some one else isnt really a part of that debate.... so you didnt have to bring it up. It was just the usual hobo debating with flair I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Blackburn could never be a better place, it must be the most depressing town in West Lothian, followed closely by Fauldhouse.

tedp6873 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The first suspect was described as white, in his late teens, about 6ft 1in, of skinny build with short, dark brown hair and wearing a white tracksuit top. The second was also said to be white, about 5ft 8in and of medium build and with short, dark brown "mullet-style" hair. He was wearing a red tracksuit top.

The People's Chimp Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was up at T yesterday. Had a great time; i wasn't camping this year, so the ned count was a bit lower for me probably, but have to say, I saw absolutely no trouble at all. The atmosphere was pretty good, although I think it was a bit more subdued than previously. Or maybe i'm just getting old. Spent a fair chunk of my time in the much maligned slam tent, and again, great atmosphere, not trouble and some great performances from carl craig, erol alkan and dusty kid. The stranglers put on a great show in king tut's earlier on as well. The atmosphere, i would say, has changed from when i first went in 97, but then who wants things to stay the same? Sadly it has becomemore and more mainstream, but there were still tons of credible acts on, unfortunately they were all on at the same bloody time. 4 bands everyone wanted to see at 6pm, same at 7, 8 and 9. Rubbish really. A bit more flexibility on the line up and less time worrying about getting paulo fruitini doing a secret gig in the t break stage would work miracles. Oh, and there were dogs, the police had then out amongst the crowd for about 5 minutes. They were probably searching on in 10 or 15 people that went in. Shame they didn't stop the morons carrying knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
