My 2 pet hates....BMW car drivers (arrogant ones ie a good % of them) and never get muddy 'Chelsea Tractors' ie. £40,000 Range Rovers that NEVER see a muddy field and are driven by city prats or their wives/girlfriends (yes I stereotype here).

Yes there is a solution for inattentive BMW arrogant car drivers...see above.

Sadly to mount a machine gun on your sidecar even if you have a sidecar is highly illegal in the UK but....

Here we go rant time...BMW drivers....even my Mrs. and my daughter (neither of whom are bikers) have mentioned the arrogance of BMW drivers. Why is this? Well, I hazard a guess that it is to do with 'success' and arrogance, that is, you little oik, outta my way, whoever you are, I'm successful, I'm powerful, I'm big, so sling it pal.

Of course the height of sheer bl***y arrogance is the 4x4 BMW thingey whatever it is called. Here you have a BMW allied with a large chassis and the combined arrogance of Chelsea Tractor
AND BMW.....ughhhhh disgusting.

Now to qualify my little rant I am not knocking honest country folk who genuinely need a 4x4 to do their work, its pretty essential if you've got a few hundred acres and a job to do. There is nothing more unpretentious than a battered old Land Rover doing its stuff on Britains roads, covered in muck and mud and cow s**t. But CHELSEA TRACTORS really hack me off.....

and I could go on :hammer:

here endeth the rant!

Fully agree. And I did have something similar to the outfit in the photo (but Russian)-will try and find a pic of it. Nobody messes with something looking like that outfit!

BMW 4x4 or Porche Cheyenne! My wife just said "whats the point?" accurately sums up the utter pretentious bollox that are these climate destroying rear end hole transports.

I best keep my head down then, I've got a BMW. But the machine gun mounting attachment looks good I want one. :-D I usually find those drivers who enjoy driving or are bikers themselves the most courteous on the road - those who see their vehicle as a mobile ego trip or creche are the worst...

By the way I think the photo is not a genuine BMW (someone may be able to say for sure who know about these things) but a Ural copy???

Anyway, you get the sentiment, whatever the bike.

I'd love to ride one of these up the A27 towards Chichester in W. Sussex and fire off a few blanks (of course I'd NEVER really do it) :wink: :wink: :wink:

yeah I'm with you Manx, will keep quiet about the BMW rugrat and dog mover (not a 4x4 though.. phew!!).. I wouldn't mind a sticker on the rear window saying "My other car's a bike".. just to let people know I'm alright really!!
