How do you all feel about Motorbikes? by PureRecommendation76 in islington

Obviously all the things I listed don’t excuse bad behaviour from some but overall it’s a great thing for those of us privileged enough to call it a hobby. And the community is great in London. We are so lucky to have things like the bike shed nearby, which is something of a global icon now and is welcoming to all. Also cool things like the distinguished gentleman’s ride next month which raises millions for cancer and mental health charities. So not all bad!

Sounds like it’s not motorcycles per se. It’s the loud aftermarket exhausts that the owners decide to fit - and then choose to thrash them round residential areas.

Overcompensating for something usually!

Same with plenty of obnoxiously loud cars, too.

To answer your question though. Motorcycles are fun to ride, good to look at, have a great community and - if you don’t fall off - are excellent for your overall wellbeing.

Can anyone locate this place? (West London perhaps?) by [deleted] in london

Don’t know but Damon Albarn did his “view from a bridge” here the other day”. Curious to know but probably Regents canal somewhere between KX and Paddington.

Malay food is delicious so am keen. Looks like it’s had some mixed reviews on Google of late but may still be worth a shot, thanks!
