Out enjoying the sun and fall colors yesterday on the new bike. NOT enjoying the THREE inattentive car drivers that I encountered on the two hour run though! Two were on their cell phones (even though I was riding in a state that just passed an anti-cellphone driving law) and merged into my lane w/o looking and the other sweetheart of a guy made a left turn directly accross my lane w/o yeilding. The kicker? He then flipped me off when I almost plowed into him! I was happy I had the ABS brakes right about then. I was not happy I didn't have my handgun...jk...I think.
LOL, Nope, definitely not (unfortunately.) It just seemed particularly rough out there yesterday. Boy, my heart jumped into my throat when that 3/4 ton pickup turned right accross my path. Nothing but sheet metal in my line of sight. The anti-lock brakes really saved my bacon. I'm a believer.
It's scary out there, seems we just don't have enought eyes looking out for us.
Thats why my scooter is as loud as I can stand it............Come up on a cager on a cell I go into hyper vision mode roll on the throttle and let'em know Im there....Had a lady I was passing on I-10 west of phoenix on a cell just as I got up on her she started to change lanes I rapped the throttle and it scared the hell out her she tossed her cell up in air and moved back over funny and scary....

you guys should try riding in and out of boston every day its freaking nuts. i swear i have target on my back... just once i wish one of these people would pull out in front of me when im in my truck.
Yep, there's a plot that all cagers are out to get us. I thought I saw a Japanese cage with 5 small bikes painted on the front fender. It's truly a war zone out on the hiways and biways. It gets even tougher this time of year here in Florida with the influx of winter refugees running from the cold and snow in the north. We need eyes in the back of our heads.
