I expect that 99% of we bikers are cagers too. I have found that riding a motorcycle makes me a better driver in my pickup truck. While riding a motorcycle you l learn to look out for idiots on the road. If you don't learn to look out for the people who do not look out for you, you earn the name "former biker".

Same here, I find myself slowing down at intersections and watching traffic all the time.

I think the term cagers is retarded in the first place used primarily by people that want to "sound" like bikers. You all have or have had a fvcking car or truck. You're not this free spirit just because you have a bike. But I guess I'm not exactly part of the whole do-rag and black t-shirt with an eagle or wolf on it crowd anyway so, whatever.

Well... I can truthfully say that I've never been almost hit while in my car by some idgit on a bike texting, using a cell phone, or eating a Big Mac... but I can't say the same for almost being hit by a cager while on my bike...
I will concede that there are a few bikers out there who are jerks, but as many on this thread have observed, the vast majority of those are crotch rockets. It is a rare occasion that I see someone on a Harley being a jerk in traffic.
Need a step ladder to help you get off that high horse you're on?

I've done stupid things on the bike and in the car, things I would not want to admit here. But when I am in the car, I am aware of the bikers around me. I give them extra room when I am behind one and shield them from the butt-wipe behind me who might ride their a$$. When I'm on the bike, the idiots in the cars become a threat. A friend told me yesterday as he pulled out of a gas station into a clear right lane, a car pulled into his lane anyway even after my friend made eye contact with the driver. So much for loud pipes and all that... the car driver was a total idiot who saw the bike pulling onto the road and tried to take that lane anyway. Perhaps the problem is whether you are in a car or on a bike, there is too much "me first" attitude. I often have to remind myself it's not the ride but the destination. Either that or let my wife do the driving when I'm in the car. When I tell her not to let a car cut in front of us she asks why and I tell her it's because I want to win. We laugh but sorry to say there is too much truth to that....perhaps for me and many others.
