Junkyard

Now that spring is here, I'm finally getting to get the bike out more and more. Rode to work yesterday, and had the following experiences: On the way in, some ******** in an Explorer tries the old "squeeze play" on me from a side street on my right. The S.O.B. has to pull 3/4 of the way out into my path so he can cut in behind me, and then ride my *** for the next 4 miles. And, just so things would stay consistant, on the way home, I had another jackass decide to make a right turn from the left-hand lane. Cuts right through my lane, and goes on his merry way down the side street. WTF? It seems that during the course of this long winter, the ****-for-brains drivers around here haven't lost one ounce of their ability to drive like complete morons, scare the crap out of motorcyclists, and attempt to shorten our lives all at the same time! Anyone know where I can pick up a handlebar-mounted plasma cannon cheap?

I just try to get their license plate number and let a friend of mine, who is a district supervisor for the highway patrol, know what it is and he sends a nice little letter to them letting them know what will happen if they injure a motorcyclist while driving the way they do. I don't know if it does any good but you never know. It's better than me getting arrested for knocking shyt out of someone who deserves it.

WooHoo!

sounds like a stressful beginning to the season. I'm glad to say that I have not had that happen on the bike yet this year (rode 200+ miles yesterday) but I did have to jump up off the road onto a bank yesterday because a girl nearly hit me while I was running. She was tailgating the car in front of her so close that she never saw me. nice.

be safe.

It seems to happen every year as the riding season gets more seasonable. I ride pretty much year round but the spring seems to be worse than any of the other seasons. I keep reading about cages making left turms in front of bikers and bikers dying and/or becoming severely maimed from these "ACCIDENTS". Cell phone useage while driving seems to be one of the major loss of attention and focus from these lousy drivers. I know I can't change their behaviour but will let them know I am here Just my .02.

Get one of those freakin paintball guns an fix it where they can't drive once you get a chance to pass the freakin cager by coloring their GD windshield. If they can't see the road how can they get your tag number?

Did I mention some Biotch in a cager on a cell phone pulled out in front of me during a poker run today? Or even some other biotch sat at a caution sign waiting on thin air to pass while i sat waiting on the DA to get the finger out their *** and figure out why they were given a drivers license? Any wonder why I gave these two the one fingered peace sign after I gave an extra loud wake up call passing them?
