Watch out for the other guy!

Call me a "pussy" but I prefer to stay alive so that I can continue to ride.

Slowpoke, you f**king pussy!

 

No -- really -- I'm in complete accord. Survived a lot of stupid riding during a misspent youth, now I trust NO ONE! Always look directly into their eyes!

 

Also, has anyone else noticed how motorcycling makes you a much better driver? Recently went on a road trip to Tennessee with a co-worker (non-biker) and cringed at the lack of space between our car and the one in front of us. Scary.

 

Shiny side up!

... I was driving through a town on a 4 lane, when some Azzhole in a pickup, was waiting for traffic, getting ready to pull out of a parking lot.  He looked right at me, and then across the highway,  while pulling right out in front of me to cross two lanes of traffic :
