If they were in a organised group or a club riding together, they wouldn't have. Group safety takes preference over courtesy.

If I were riding with a club or on an organised ride-out I wouldn't have let you out. If I was riding in general traffic with riders I didn't know, I would have.

Brighton seafront is a nightmare with that contraflow at the moment anyway. Best avoided, I find. :)

Look if you saw somebody on an amazing machine like a Maxsym you give way it's called knowing your place. Brighton seafront is a complete mess in thanks to our terrible Green Council who want to make our lives a misery try being a motorist here.

Seeing your the only person that's got one, no one else must think it's that amazing then...

Sometimes I can't avoid working in there. Trying to get across the seafront in a van at midday is hellish. Parking it to work on someone's house is a joke! :D

You see if you are the sort of person that shops at Waitrose rather than Asda attends Glynbourne rather than the Odeon then I guess you ride an exclusive bike. I am told Sym certainly sold all there first 2 shipments of 600's but of course they may have only brought 3 in :D. I believe T&G have one on test at the moment.

If you are the sort of person that shops at Waitrose you're more than likely to be in there to claim your daily free cup of coffee, and you were really the sort of person that attends Glyndebourne you'd know how to spell it correctly... Symples! :twisted:

If you are the sort of person that shops at Waitrose you're really just one of the hordes in there claiming their daily free cup of coffee, and you can't be the sort of person that attends Glyndebourne because if you were you'd know how to spell it correctly. :twisted:
Or it could be that I am an old man struggling to write on a smart phone and having to deal with auto correct. Could somebody lend me their 5 year old to run my IT for me :D . Have just come back in and its turned out to be a very nice day here in Brighton but have not seen any mods riding around, they must e all parked up on Madeira Drive lusting after each others mirror's :roll:
