Very true WB, but the more discerning rider will indulge in those pastimes out on the open road, not around traffic in posted speed limits... [smiley=engel017.gif]

Everyone is (or should be) aware of their own ability/ inability and ride/drive accordingly without putting anyone else's safety at risk.... Ive seen strange 'goings-on' on ride-outs but I have to say 99% of the riders on here do take into account when there are inexperienced riders around and leave a safe distance to go past at speed, on one wheel, without holding on, eating a pizza, having a ciggie, rolling a fag, and anything else Ive missed out hehehe.....Tobias some of the riders on here have an awful lot of experience on bike riding...and being knocked off etc.... i guess they just dont want to see the same happen to you.....Its not nice watching someone come off etc so try to not do the twat kinda stuff hehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I don't think Scotty was saying don't ride how you ride, but if you are 'naughty' (as I'm sure we all are at times), then don't post obvious references to it in a public forum....
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
One of the things i loved when i first moved to Wiltshoire, was how the car drivers congratulated me on my heroic moves, by tooting their horns, or flashing their lights, such a friendly county!

Had some mates that rode like plonkers on the road , then i talked them into a trackday [know where to hide and all that jive ]. They went from the big i am [im soooo fast on the road ] to little pussy cats moaning that people were getting to close to them what a joke.
Interesting to read the wide spectrum of views on what is and what is not acceptable behaviour on our roads. I am of the opinion that smoking whilst behind the wheel is less of a distraction than noisy children in the rear or a nagging passenger. In fact smoking can help to relieve stress when driving in a challenging or difficult environment.
Depends how much rummaging round in the glove box, jacket on the back seat and passenger footwell the driver's just done to try and find their fag packet and favourite lighter while still trying to drive a car.
Noisy kid distractions are easy to solve, they should be shut in the boot before the journey starts :)
Don't agree Ken, smokers are far more likely to be stressed out gagging for their next hit.
