Almost got hit
Last Thursday night at 10 riding down the DVP in the right lane exiting off at Lawerance av I am in the exit ramp when I was nearly hit by three sport bikes doing I dont know how fast but believe me they were booking it full throttle on my right side the last one wheeled it as he soared into the heavy traffic and I mean heavy lane splitting as they disappeared , How close to getting wiped out ? Bet it was not less than a few inches , I saw the headlights and the roar of the exhaust but to be honest dd not have a chance to react only hope they didn't hit me , Lucky I survived , WTF every day I see this **** sport bikes flying down the road a race track speeds living in a Mad Max movie. I can only hope these riders and I use that term loosely didn't collide with any one else and have the law terminate their lic for stunt driving . So never mind having to look out for the cars pulling stupid moves on the road be weary for these fools as well they are out there !!

If you were to take a poll (go ahead I dare you) on how many riders here started on some kind of sport bike,I think you would find it quite high. Personally I went from my Honda 50 mini trial to a Harley but I'm not in the norm category....Anyone here who has met me knows that...

The majority of sportbike riders are better riders than Harley riders.
A small minority of sportbike riders ride at track day speeds on the road.

It reminds me of being a kid in the back seat listening to my grandpa ranting about hot rodders while driving his Rambler...
They didn't hit you because they're good, mad skillz.

There are many Harley riders, that are just road hazzards, in the way, clogging traffic, forcing people to take risks to get around them.
What really pisses me off is the dumb *** groups that block both lanes, with traffic backed up. I rode right down the middle of them once, going to Sturgis. If I search enough forums, I will probably find a thead about it.
They were on the outside of the their lane, taking up both lanes, with vehicles behin them. SHould have been Rodney Kinged.
