No...a line of dialogue from "Snatch". I always assumed it was an animal of some type

Have you learned some kind of new language in the last few days? you seem to talk in riddles and abbreviations. . . . .

Sorry, I wasn't aware that euphamism did not translate to the other side of the pond (Same Sh*t, Different Day)

never heard that one either. However, I shall note it in case it crops up somewhere.

Obviously, if one is riding a Harley Davidson tractor, then I agree, the 10 minutes taken to pass a lorry can be a white knuckle ride.

Yeah it would be quicker and safer to jump off the Harley and run past

Boy, what do you guys have against Harleys anyway?

You mean other than that they're slow, unreliable, far too expensive, uncomfortable ?

and ridden by the elderly

That's all? That's no biggie then.

Don't know much about the other comments but I can probably agree with the 'far too expensive' one.

There's nothing illegal in filtering through traffic whether it's stationary or not, I stand by my original statement.

Are they dear over there too? I don't understand why so many old farts over here have them except that they don't get a thrill out of any sort speed anymore

Don't really know myself. Maybe they would rather just cruise about leisurely whilst shaking their fists at the young whipper snappers that go barrelling by.

I've been riding since 1967 (before some of you were born).

If you remember your original training:

How can you make space and create escape routes if you're trapped between two cars and one decides to change lanes without seeing you?

What happens if one of the vehicles decides to discharge a passenger in the middle of the traffic jam and the door opens?

The only way to survive on a motorcycle in an urban area is to ride paranoid. They're all out to get me and I'm a fool if I give them an opportunity.

PS - Only been hit once and the car driver ignored my eye contact and my horn.

PPS - Currently riding an ex Police BMW K750. Never thought to leave the striping on. Great idea.

Both those things can happen anyway thanks to the stupidity and ignorance of car drivers who think the roads belong only to them

So what does "lorry" refer to in the statement "...runnin' 'round, mad as lorries..."

There are birds called "Lorries", we used to have a
Rainbow Lorry

Mwah hah hah hah. (Evil laughs)

 

[Rich]

Mwah hah hah hah. (Evil laughs)

and especially women drivers!

 

[MrsGorilla]

and especially women drivers!

Mwah hah hah hah. (Evil laughs again) It's really all part of a big, sinister plan. I'd tell you about it, but then I'd have to kill you.

Holy sh*t! another conspiracy, I bet you're a freemason with the Star of David tattooed on your forehead, or somewhere

Close enough.

Besides, how do you think I knew about the foil hats?

 

[Rich]

Close enough.

How close, might one ask?
