Default Future road kill

I was just on my bike and riding home ,sitting at a red light whem a dumb *** on a moped passed the cars waiting at the light and without even slowing down went through the light laughing.If there would have been a crash I would've helped the people in the other vehicle but if only he was hurt or killed I wouldn't even have stopped.I wanted to turn around and chase the idiot and kick his *** but figured he will be road kill soon enough.

i am very confrontational with idiots like that because we are all branded by other peoples actions. even if it was just a moped, people look at it as another biker.
Im just as bitchy with cagers that cut me off or pass right beside me. next time you see a dude in need of a tune up, Take a few seconds & tear him a new one. everyone will benefit from it!

If he woulda been goin the same way I was I can quarntee I woulda made adjustments to him,but he was goin the opposite direction and traffic would have made it very difficult.

yeah. inconvenient.

watch out though. round here those moped folks are heavy hitters. no shitee. its like some sort of inverse cool thing where the baddest emm-effs ride the oddest bikes.

You would educate him? Could be interesting. Education sometimes is a two way street. I enjoy watching education lessons--seen more then a few take some interesting turns.

They need to be required to go to the motorcycle training classes and have a motorcycle license too.
