Clearly they didn't read my Helpful Hints for Daytona thread.

It happens every year.

Some of the riders at best don't have any motorcycle etiquette and at worst are complete morons.


To reiterate the rule from my post:
I don't know you, I don't your skills. Don't share a lane with me.

When you have a big group of people, you have a certain percentage of A-holes. Happens everywhere.

Too many of those nimrods get people killed. That's why I don't go anymore.

A couple years ago I was in the right hand lane with my signal on turning into my hotel around 10 pm when some a$$ hole passed me on the right doing about 60, damn near wiped me out. I don't go anymore.

Why do you think they haul them down there on trailers? Can't ride.

Agreed! I'd like to check out the rallies, but they really seem like they've turned into one gigantic cluster. I'll just stick to riding these great north GA roads all by myself.

If you're at Daytona, have fun n be safe!
