Despite their sometimes unfortunate image, motor-cyclists, in my
experience and observation, are among the most careful and skilled of
road-users.

They never hold you up, they are always courteous (if a little fast at
times) and you never see them riding along footways.

Some of the biggest menaces on the roads and the victims of the most road deaths by a country mile.

1% of road traffic and yet 20% of fatalities.

It is called a Newsgroup on USENET and has been around since 1996.

The idea that those people are qualified motor-cyclists is laughable.
They are obviously qualified only to ride bicycles and so are cyclists
(at best).
