I don't associate with guys on crotch rockets--And I always ride with a friend. His name is Ruger .454 Casull!

I agree with you totally. If I dont know the biker well I am always looking at him even though I friendly no matter what he thinks and I am always prepared just in case.

When I lived in Michigan, I did my best to avoid Detroit when I was on my bike

Too much in the open and I guess I was too white

Yup...it's the same bunch that lays under cars in shopping mall parking lots, with straight razors....waiting to slash yer legs when ya get into yer car. They're the grandchildren of the escaped psychopath who left his prosthetic hook attached to yer grandpappy's car (when grandpappy took off from lovers' lane after he heard something suspicious). Hell...the story helped him get into grandma's panties.

Get a fukn grip, and worry about something real...like the ditzy blond putting on makeup and texting on her cell phone.... getting ready to pull out in front of you from a stop sign. Now that's really fukn terrifiying!

Score 1 for another internet myth. Crooks are cowards. They always pick on weak victims like the elderly. Even with two the odds that they would take on a biker is low. First off all they would be afraid that the rider was packing. They would also fear that the rider could beat both of them. Again crooks throughout history have proven themselves to be cowards.

The odds that the rider would even pull off within a short time is also remote. If they were following me they better be able to hit 600 miles or more.

If the rider did pull off again the odds are it would be a gas station or restaurant where there would be too many folks around.

It just does not seem like a winning method to me. Like I said the odds are way too long for this to have any truth to it.

Now four guys in an old van and a unattended bike parked. Whoosh gone.
