Default What an idiot !!


Im crusin' along I-40 in the left lane at around 70 on the way to work .... and see a nudder bike coming up behind me. Im watching him in my mirrors for a mile or two then move over to the middle lane on my way over to the exit lane to catch the off ramp. This d1ckh3ad quickly moves to my left ...sitting there so long that I had to look over to see what the h311 he was up to. He smiles, waves then excelerates away.

Bad enough that I have to deal with these guys that want to kill me out there, I dont need to be distracted by someone who doesnt realize Im changing lanes and should be keeping an eye on the cagers and keeping the bike under control !!!

Sounds like he was checking out your bike and wanted to give you a compliment.

Just as long as he used all of his fingers when he waved, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've done the same thing checking out someones car or bike.

I usually check out other bikes when I pass them, or when they pass me. Like to wave and receive waves back. Gotta watch out for each other out there!!
