What does woke mean to you?

And they can't see that their complete disassociation from the people they purport to champion means they truly do not know what they are talking about.
Riding a motorcycle does not make you a friend of mine automatically. There's a range of reasons people do it and I align with a few. Those with commonality I can talk to about the subject.
Similarly those who see poverty or working class values as an abstract concept for study I have no time for. They do not understand the subtleties.
Like a person who rides a bike is not one simple demographic, neither are people born in social housing, economically disadvantaged etc.
Some of them are cunts who need shooting. Some are people you are proud to know.
Pretty much like any strata .
I agree on the bike riding part especially. All this "brotherhood", and "Biker code" bullshit, get's on my tits. There seems to be far more arseholes in the bike riding "community" than any other. I am on various forums for cars, bikes, motorhomes ect, even vintage lawnmowers, :) and none of the others, have so many absolute wankers on them. The comments about people that dont wave back at them, not being real "bikers" are pathetic. I couldn't bare to be in the same pub as most of them, without giving them a slap.

Exactly. And I do not care for your aftershave either.

Do you reckon that could be why they kicked me out. :) I got a notification from a Triumph facebook group, yesterday. Telling me, that i was restricted to 1 comment an hour, because i had "offended" someone.. That someone, was an admin, that i called out as a fucking liar. Can you imagine the mentallity, of a cunt, that would think he could do that, and i would just humbly accept it.. like a schoolboy, being told to stand in the corner. Some of these pricks that admin on FB, are total wankers. They think they are some kind hero's. because they have a little bit of power. They are at the head of my list of blokes, that i would love to knock over in the pub. Unfortunately, that will never happen, because they would be too afraid to go into the pubs i drink in. Most likely to be found outside, drinking coffee, in their hi viz vest, with their gloves and full face helmet still on. Rant over. For now anyway. :)

Just reaching out to the brotherhood to “learn” what your views on this strange woke whatever it is thing is?
To me it about a bunch of intolerant,poorly informed wankers attempting to alter history so as to conform to their own narrow minded narrative.
Discuss,(if you want).
You can fuck your false "brotherhood" bullshit. That only exist's amongst a few. What i see, is what i believe. The rest.you can deal with.it as you please.

Did you ever think about joining the diplomatic service?
Did you not see some of Micks interactions on TTF? 😳
What you're seeing here "IS" diplomatic Mick in action 😃

Don't worry, if he carries on I'll slap his legs & make him stand in the naughty corner. After he's written out..."Loud pipes work for me, but not for everyone"...
100 times on the blackboard 🙂 😉

Absolutely agree @chas respect is earned and it doesn't come because you have a degree or an 'important' position in life. An arsehole is still an arsehole even if they have a PhD or have had the coolest bike on the planet made for them.
That wanker Henry Cole, and his Gladstone, springs to mind. Although, i disagree with the "coolest bike on the planet" bit. I did the Southampton DGR couple of years back, and there was one that broke down twice. It was pissing oil out of every orifice, and you could light a fag off the pipes. It went home on the back of a recover van. Despite all the camera,s. The hero was nowhere to be seen.

Henry Cole ticks so many of the boxes to be an annoying prick, yet I forgive him all that because his enthusiasm seems so genuine and he does bring some interesting stuff that I watch to our screens, and I don't watch much TV besides sport.

The main thing I find annoying about him is that having long grey hair, a beard and specs people sometimes say I look like him.

Or is it just I'm an annoying prick too? 😁
