Many times !!! Not always sportbikes either. Harley riders in group rides have (purposely ?) pulled out in front of me in passing lanes, single riders pulling out from stops. Cars are not the only killers out there.

Just as many dipshits on Harleys,the rocket riders don't have a patent on assholism. Seems to be the thing now to put ape hangers on and cop an attitude,you know,like an ape.With a German novelty helmet covering the small mind.

Had a Titan-like scoot last night with a raked out front end make a right turn from the left lane right across my snout; I almost dropped it and him at the same time. Either the dude can't ride for **** and should park it or cut the extension down to where he can work one lane at a time.

I seem to have more problems with scooters around town. Damn, they never look. Figure a lot of them are scootin because they lost their license somehow.

Had it happen to my and my ex-GF, who was riding her own, on a curvy two lane road posted at 35mph. Two of them buzzed passed us doing at least 80mph or 90mph. Then they turned around in the middle of the road and went back passed us going the opposite direction at speed. Later, they came up behind us again on a 55mph stretch playing games behind us, then they passed us at extreme high speed going around a blind curve. One of them almost bit the read end of the car in front of me trying to negotiate the curve. Farking ridiculous retards.

Obviously she didn't see you because she didn't look. My EG has an air horn and I ride with my thumb on the button when riding in traffic. Hitting the horn early stops them before they interlope into my riding space.

I've had a few BMW adventure-type bikes (GS?) riding like nutcases, more than sportbikes. They ride around London like they're on a Vespa.

A car was rolling at a stop sign last night. Went for the horn hit the brights. That probably worked as well anyway.

Did you see the new QOTR thread about the 883 rider being terrorized and flipped off by some ugly old guy? J/K
