dear raisethe, you've seen fit not to reply to my earlier post, so perhaps

Dear raisethe, I've asked once and you didn't respond, and I'll ask just
once more before I consign you to the bin labelled "wan*er". Please post
some evidence that the CTC is anti-motorcycling. That's evidence, not your
prejudices."
Instead of asking irrelevant questions, perhaps you could answer the above.
Or perhaps not. Perhaps you're just the paranoid, guilt-ridden motorcyclist
that you really do seem to be.
