Thanks for that cute little tap you did on your helmet. I waved to be polite when I thought you were waving, but thank GOD you told me I didn't have a helmet on! Without your keen snooty insight I would never have known! Gee, those BMW riders sure are smart.

Free country and free state. Go f*ck yourself.

End rant. Thanks for reading.

Snooty insight??? The dude tapped his head to point out a speed trap.

Apparently his new jap car didn't come with a side order of "common biker knowledge"...the tap has saved me more than once.
