I try to relate my experiences on the road as a motorbike rider. The title of the blog is motivated by the fact that on the road its almost a war like scenario all the time for bikers against other road users especially the notorious cagers (car users). Hence most of the time the biker attempts to be safe.

Riders Guide to Demo Survival

Posted 04-01-2009 at 08:30 AM by bledubd (Motorbike Urban Guerilla)

There are about 4 demos going on in central London to coincide with the G20 summit (read Some Eat out dough LOL).

Anyway was just thinking of things that as a rider I need to do to survive the demo scourge. And because I had not fallen into the scuffles here is a my small list.

1. If you usually carry a back pack, leave it at home and make sure you have your protective gear on you. Ensure that you are putting a high Viz jacket especially.

2. Keep your...

Commuting 1 Year On - Part 1

Posted 03-13-2009 at 05:52 AM by bledubd (Motorbike Urban Guerilla)

Ok its slightly a bit over 1 year since I started commuting to work using a motorcycle. I started off with the Honda CBR125, and frankly speaking I really looked ridiculous on that toy. That day in October 2007 sounds like a long time away.

I went for my CBT with GetBike based in Northfields. I remember the instructor we had that day. He was a nice chap can't remember the name though. But I did see (on the road) him time and again when he was taking other students on their paces with...

Demoralised on the Isle of Man

Posted 11-14-2008 at 08:36 AM by bledubd (Motorbike Urban Guerilla)

I am a very demoralised man and have been since I came over to the isle of man about 2 months ago. The source of my agony is that I am on this great island but not with my bike. And to add insult to injury my beloved has been chained to some rotting steel frame so that its not nicked.

I'd have loved to follow the TT route. But instead I am stuck in Douglas with no where to go unless if I have to get on the bus or hire a car. But I can't bring myself to do that. So I am hoping that...

In the Blink of an eye - SEE

Posted 07-25-2008 at 03:04 AM by bledubd (Motorbike Urban Guerilla)

Yesterday as I was going to buy my bike tyres, I witnessed a fresh accident scene. Damn, I had seen the biker just a couple of seconds earlier. Thankfully though the biker was not injured badly, but the bike was worse off as was the cager bumper.

From the looks of it the accident was caused by a cager who was coming out of a parking slot. The twat must not have seen my fellow biker because the car was parked on the left side of the road but facing the direction of the incoming bike....

Urban Guerrilla

Posted 02-19-2008 at 02:38 PM by bledubd (Motorbike Urban Guerilla)

I am happy with my commuting since I got my Fazer 600. The only other problem I have had so far was when I was failing to properly hold my clutch. I think that day I stalled the bike about 3 or 4 times such that I was now very slow on the take off at traffic signals.

I usually use the A40 Western Avenue to go home but today I thought I would use the A4. I can safely say that I will not be using that route very often. Of course you ride past scenic places like Harods and the like but...
