No I didn't say that. I would go when its safe. If someone wants to run a red they better be careful.

and you suppose you're just going to go on your way after intentionally running over a bike. hey yeah. You might have three tons of steel your riding in but you will be stopped, believe it.

Sorry but I drive a tractor trailer. I also have 2 motorcycles I ride often but legally. I respect all motorcycles, give them the right of way even when they don't have it. But don't think you can just make your own rules and blame everyone else. You act like an ******* and someone runs over you, you're dead. You don't chase anyone, your dead.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better.

you said and I quote " if I got green , I go" , then ramble about bikers being toothless rednecks. that statement strongly implies that when you have a green light you will go even if a biker is sitting in front of you, thats where he got it from

This thread started out with a group going through an intersection and someone holding up traffic until the entire group got through. I have no problem with that, even though it's illegal. Now some of you idiots are talking about intentionally blocking traffic to **** people off. That's a whole different story.

Whatever, so if you just run a red light and someone kills you no problem your buddies will beat him up. Ok.

Blocking intersections is like people driving slowly in the fast lane. Some of us do not have luxury of sitting around waiting for arrogant, selfish people. How about thinking of the people with busy lives you are putting out. You expect others to wait for you but you are not willing to wait yourselves.
