Don't get me wrong.
I'm not referring to a small group of friends out for a spin.
I'm talking about the phenomena of the MASS RIDEOUT.
I was out this afternoon and decided to pop into Totnes for a bite.
As I approached the centre I got in quite a long queue and after I filtered to the front, on a green light, there was a bloke on a Harley stopped right across the junction with his hand held up, stopping the traffic while dozens of other (mainly), Harleys went across.
Two things here.
Who the hell do these people think they are inconveniencing others, and causing tail backs and secondly, they must have all been just sailing through a red light across the junction, as the lights I was being held up on, were green.
It's why I don't like these mass ride outs.
They are often such a bloody nuisance to other road users, that it becomes embarassing to be part of them.
Bikings about enjoying the open road, unhindered by the clutter of everyday life, not travelling like a herd of mindless bloody cattle.
