I found this online and I have no idea if this has ever been posted but I found it very interesting, I wouldn't even know what to search for to try and find it on the forum so here it is, enjoy.. pass it around whatever the more drivers that see it may be more aware of cyclist on the rode, and less stereotypical.

For all who Know Motorcycle Riders...It sounds mostly like Harley guys..


(I feel we should add: When our fallen soldiers are brought home the harley guard riders show up at every ceremony to honor them. If there are any protesters, they will rev their engines to drowned them out. )




I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in my heart.

I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you, go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.

I hope that people take a moment, to open their f*cking eyes and pay more attention to EVERYONE else out there on the road. You're not the only one that has some place you have to be! I hope you never lose someone that rides.

 

I've seen it before. Maybe it needs to be posted in all the car forums,,, had a fairly close call today with a car passing another one in a curve coming at me, had to get on the shoulder. I just ride like everyone is trying to kill me, works pretty good.

 

was thinking the same thing get this to some car guys so they can pass it around lol although I did find it on a bulletin, it was being sent out,the folks that happened to pass it to me were the car driven type so atleast it hit some of them and is still going it was being passed for cyclist awareness good deal
