I consider all of these types of drivers in 2 categories: those that I pay taxes & I will drive as I damn well please, screw you & the horse you rode in on. Those that are mentally deficient & should'nt have been allowed to ever have a drivers license in the first place!

Have to agree with ALL of you.
Didn't see MY pet peeve.
Rollin' along at 60 on a two lane. (pretty much all we ride on here) Car about 1/4 mile or so in front, doin' 60 also. NO ONE behind ya for as far as the eye can see. Car on side road, stopped at stop sign. Car in front of you, passes intersection, the TWADDLECOCK at the stop sign pulls out in front of you. Goes 1/4 to 1/2 mile, and then wants to turn left. Ya have to stop behind 'em whilst they wait to turn. Had they waited 10-15 seconds or LESS, they could have had ALL the road behind you, with no one on it.
Or they pull out, and then go 45, cause they are just going to town, or what have you. Happens all over here.
The advent of cell phones basically put an end to the anti-tailgator routine. Ball bearings. Still have a couple in the tool bag, just for nostalgia, but don't use them anymore. WANT TO, just don't.
I have often thought about doing it, again, and then tell the LEO, "GEESH, it's an ol' Harley, parts fall off it all the time."
We stay the h*ll outta the Cities as much as possible. With the one brake, I leave a lot of space to the car in front of me. Of course, some dipwad feels I am leaving it for them to just move on over.
'CREEPERS' bug me, too. But not as bad as 'SLAMMERS'. The ones who race up to the stop sign, and SLAM on the brakes. I am either on the binder, or lookin' into the oncoming lane for an exit strategy.
They usually end up between the stop sign and the lane I'm in, NOT behind the sign, as the LAW and the driver's manual, state.
