Idiot drivers
The other day I stayed late after work to put a new transmission in my wifes truck so I did'nt leave till almost 10pm.So I get about 3 miles from work and one of those summer storms from hell comes up.It is raining buckets and throwing lightning bolts like crazy so needless to say i wasnt riding very fast probably 30 to 35 in a 45mph zone(back road,nowhere to pull off)and some a@@hat in a suv comes up behind me and rides like 10 feet behind me.I tried several times to slow way down and pull to the side so he would pass but he wouldnt go around.Sometimes I hate people,rant over.
Yep, it never fails. Every single time I go out, bike or cage, it's always an experience.

I have to be honest, most of the drivers around here are very courteous. A couple weeks ago I got caught in the worst rain storm I've ever ridden in. I couldn't see a thing and slowed way down. No one tailgated me, blew their horn, etc. I think they just felt sorry for me.

Just another day riding. Nice to vent but we all deal with idiots. Somedays I ignore stupid and some days I hurt stupid. The problem to me is that I never know which me they are going to deal with till it happens.

I think that more people are aware of motorcycles and what they're like now than say 40 years ago, but driving SKILLS in general seem to gone to hell.
It apparently isn't difficult to get a license nowadays.
