we could always ditch the bikes and buy cars instead, which take up more space and cause more congestion, and also use more fuel
most normal bikes get about 40mpg, nowhere near the 100mpg of scooters etc
anyway, enough of the scorned biker rattling on
heres a post ive just made on another site

it pizzes me off,
really it does
not so much the price, but the fact that they are doing this for 2p a litre
and in doing this demonstration they are creating a standstill which will only damage the working class
the working class dont need this, they wanna move the demonstration to downing street, chain their bikes to the gates
and leave them there till the price comes down by 30p a litre
its a complate waste of their time and the poor people who are trying to travel to work on that route
if them motorways and roads are blocked, some people may lose their jobs
what if an ambulance has to get thru on a life/death call
the trucks should just stay out the way for that reason
precious minutes could make a hell of a difference to an ambo on blue lights
if ur gonna do a demonstration, do it right, 1000 bikes is impressive but its all for so little, they would have to do this once a month for 2 years to get anywhere, and thats if its successful in bringing the price down 2p a litre, which it probably wont be
we should get all the bike clubs in the country, and all the sites, and work together on a proper demonstration


something has to give somewhere, and as usual its left to the bikers to do the dirty work, coz the truckers have proved all they can do is cause a nuisance,

Hmmmm I'm mightily confused.

Your post above contradicts hugely with what actually happened. You slate the truckers (erm they were actually with you); you talk about the danger of disrupting the ambulance service, yet no warning of the protest was made to the authorities for alternative routes to be planned; you talk about disrupting the poor people that are trying to get to work, and then your protest starts at rush hour and leads into the city?

Are you for real?
