Do UK bikers have problems with drivers of performance cars, like Audi "S" models or BMW "M" series? I'd imagine the biggest sin of motorists regarding motorcycles is inattention. As a recently retired Canadian biker, I'd say that performance car drivers are more engaged, attentive and predictable in their behaviour. The most dangerous road companions are crotch rockets and "Fast & Furious" tuner wannabes, in my opinion.

I lost a friend to a drunk driver who hit him while he was riding his Yamaha, and the guy was driving in a beat-up pickup truck. Hopefully they are more preoccupied with the type of people driving than what they are driving. Although I wonder if there is something to this because I have been cut off a LOT in this Audi, way more than in my Subaru, and even in my older Mercedes

Knowing you Brits, I think it is safe to say it might be "...something... in Audis"? C U next Tuesday? I try to never call people that. I mean.... I FAIL.... but I try. Also errant golf balls and malfunctioning electronic equipment.

Any drivers biggest sin from a bikers point of view is inattentiveness. A lot of performance car drivers are enthusiasts & therefore better drivers than their non enthusiast cousins & so cause us fewer problems. That said over here something weird happens with Audi drivers more than other car or driver these guys seem to be out to kill you! No idea why, it's not the same in the rest of Europe, although I would think that bikers in every country have a make of car that inspires fear & loathing in them.

I think someone in the band is driving a Dodge Challenger these days. The band parking at my local venue was occupied by one glow-in-the-dark model just before the plannedemic.
