So, yesterday, I was riding into work. As I was was coming up to my exit, I look in the left lane and there is another guy on a cruiser of some sort. He was mid 20's or so, in shorts and tennis shoes, riding about 75 mph in moderate/heavy traffic. He was steering with his right hand and looking down and TEXTING on his cell phone!!! WTF!!!???!!!
What really makes me want to slap the crap out of him is that cagers look at him and think, "What a dumb a$$!!!" and then see me and I am guilty by association.
Some people need to wake the F up!!!
Get use to it. Most people drive faster than the posted speed limit, text and talk while driving. Oh, and let's not forget drink then drive. I see lot's of bike's parked at bars all the time. To most people today, these are all acceptable practices.
So keep great insurance and drive at your own risk.
