I happened upon this rum looking chap while enjoying a recent tour of the Lakes aboard my two-wheeled motorized velocipede, and thought i would capture the spectacle for all to see.
One would of thought that an adventurer with a steed as prestigious as the mighty BMW would of taken a little more care over ones riding apparel, but this advice would be lost on this particular ne`er-do-well, just look at that jacket, it certainly was not from the selection of an authorized BMW boutique!
And those panniers!
A degree of colour co-ordination sets ones machine off nicely i always think, and gives an air of respectability and professionalism which is so imortant whilst on the road.
No doubt they were full-to-bursting with strong drink, you know the sort of thing, home-brewed liquor that comes in a bottle with no label, the sort of thing which you are sometimes offered ( but seldom accept) at these `rallies`, where folk from random corners of the land congregate and entertain themselves around an improvised campfire into the small hours, before collapsing semi-concious and pouring themsleves and each other into a temporary overnight shelter comrising a cottony outer layer supported by lightweight bamboo struts. There`s no way the likes of him would be accepted into a respected hostelry for the night, i know i`d turn him away too, `sorry sir, we seem to be fully booked` is a phrase he`s probably well accustomed to.
I don`t know, you get all sorts of riff-raff riding BMW`s these days, i don`t think i`d like to be in any gentlemans motorcycle club he happened to be a member of...........

mmmhh he dosen't look like the sort of person that should be riding a BMW, far too scruffy and unkempt. Perhaps he had stolen the bike ? he looks the type to me.

Indeed, some sort of saddle tramp there, mobile riff raff, it seems that anybody can buy a BMW nowadays, tut tut, but as you so rightly said, no one could possibly think of this cove as a kosher BMW owner, he was just too scruffy and unkempt.
I wonder if this blackguard had actually stolen such a fine mount?
