Read up to " UK food/police/roads etc" not as good as US which didn't give Mister Cope much credibility with me.....but persisted. Read it all and the comments. Don't matter how much is said, nobody is ever going to know are they ....if anyone does actually want to know.
We only have preconceived ideas of what a US motorcyclist looks/rides like probably from YouTube's of fat fekktards crashing.....and they likewise.
I'd say "its the same the whole world over".........
