  • Good people, good times. The word 'grim' is used ironically, as some people insist that different types of users need to be segregated.

    Hate being told what to do when I'm already doing it, so friggin irritating.

    As a British person, I feel I am well within my rights to say that was the most British thing I’ve ever seen

    Good practice my friend, I always do the same, especially when I come across people dogging, it's just polite.

    it's good to see a fellow off roader being courteous to other trail users.

    See? This is all it takes, folks. Simple, mannerly and with a mutual respect. You see too many stories of either bad motorcyclists or bad horse people so this was a welcome change

    As a horse rider in Wales I personally think you were very respectful you could have very easily sped past those people but you had to courtesy and common sense to stop and turn off your engine!

    Good man, as someone who's been bucked, kicked, and thrown from a horse. Its refreshing to see someone who gives way, very courteously I might add to these men on horseback. I applaud you sir and emplor other riders to be as courteous as this gentleman is.

    This is the type of interaction that helps overcome so much of the negativity many feel toward motorcyclists. Mutual respect goes such a long way towards ensuring we can all enjoy our activities in shared spaces.

    Well . I once stood very still while waiting for a fox. Very early in a summer morn... then a woman rides up the hill making a very happy noise. Very happy . Like oh uh oh uh Ooooooo.... Felt like sharing the story. Nice shared moment of respect between country folks. 😊

    Thank you from the horse riding community, you are a gem wish there were more considerate folks like you, pity the guy felt he needed to say anything as you done everything you could to help, you just always get one. I have to say had great experiences with motorcyclists, you my friend are saving a life doing this .👍 stay safe .

    To those asking why the word "grim" is in the title; welcome to British humor, enjoy your stay.

    You did everything right always nice to see a member of the bike community actually riding the proper way

    This is the only downside of my Yamaha with free-flowing pipes. Came across a lady riding a horse on a main road so I stopped and she was INCREDIBLY thankful. Made my day too, to have such a positive interaction with another person. I’d hate to be responsible for a horse bucking off its rider, especially a kind old lady.
