Oh dear biking has changed forever

[Cupid Stunt]

No longer are bikers tough greasers with dirt under their fingers nails and underwear that's been worn inside out and back to front before washing or taking a tool kit out on the road to do repairs at the roadside, oh no, now I'm not against lady riders who do all that too but someone let the TikTok ladies in by the thousands, now it's all about "kindred souls", finger nail paint, pouty lips, latte coffee, cream cakes, love and shit, it's a trend that I don't see ever reversing, the TikTok ladies have figured out that a lady biker is hot and get's shit loads of clicks, likes, follows, views etc and we are now all doomed, the "Yen" of yesteryear are gone.

Pete never got dirt under his fingernails and he didn’t know what a toolkit was.

There are plenty of folk that continue to do their own wrenching here and on every forum I see.

Maybe you should stay off TikTok, or is that where old farts with maxi scooters congregate these days?

I think that's the point, don't be disappointed with what you find on TikToc it's not for our generation.   

I see plenty of bikers around here especially in this weather and they cover the whole mix of society as far as I see with probably the emphasis on older men.    Yes there are some girls and women but they are just as mixed as the lads.  Some you could imagine on TikToc looking pretty some greasy munters belching and farting.  All sorts.

No it hasn't.

How does selling pictures of people riding bikes compute in this new motorcycle fashion?

Bottom line: Twattok is full of Wannabe's....

IF the internet was to somehow "unplug"....they'd be running around like headless chickens trying to figure out who the hell they are...

He is feeding the very machine he is complaining about.
