An odd thing happened on the way to work this morning. I was sat at a red light and a bloke in a VW at the side of me was looking at the Majesty, suddenly he wound his window down and gave me the thumbs up! Said it was a great looking machine and heaped praise upon it! Gave me a nice rosy glow, could be Gods way of stopping me being a pillock as just a mile earlier a VW driver pulled out on me, nothing dangerous but he could have waited whilst I'd got past the junction. I thought to myself why does everyone who drives a German car have to be a twat, then along comes Mr Nice Bloke driving a German car!
In all my years on two wheels this is the first time a car driver has commented, oddly enough a few months ago I was parked up in Scarborough having a nice bacon sarni and a coffee and a bloke there did the same, much to my amusement a BMW GS parked next to mine was ignored!

Re: Car driver compliment
Yes thats a very nice when it happens, used to happen a lot when I had the kawasaki Vulcan, but then it was a very handsome bike in its petrol blue colour scheme. I think MCN did a survey some years ago saying bikers had more trouble with BMW drivers than any other car makes. In closing I drive an Audi A4 2.5 and to the best of my knowledge I am no Twat.

Re: Car driver compliment
The German car driver comment was really made tongue in cheek, no offense meant.

Does this mean that the "trilby hatted Volvo driver" has been consigned to history then?-
