I was wondering. If a cager is also a biker, does that, in some way, make him / her a better cager and less likely to run over a biker. I tend to look at bikes and see them. So I thought bikers might make better cagers, but then I remember what custom bike builder, Billy Lane, did (killed a biker, head-on collison, Billy was driving his pick-up, and was drunk, I believe). Of course, being drunk would have to factor in, right?

Hack

 

I go out of my way to make sure drivers and ridershave enough room and pay paritcular attention to anything on two wheels.

 

If nothing else, bikers in a cage will usually be more alert in general, since they usually have to be VERY proactive when on two wheels...

 

Yep...Bikers can do better burn-outs, can drink twice as much at the bar before headin home, are quicker out of the car during side-of -the-road fist fights with some A-Hole...and know all the short-cuts..I'd say they're WAAAAAY better drivers...

 

Absolutely. And all kidding aside, I think we are more courteous and conscious of the knotheads out there. If nothing else, we certainly are much more aware of motorcyclists and their "cushions".

You bet!

 

Absolutely, I know that I'm not the only one that drives his auto like they ride their bike. I contantly look for people who may pull out in front of me, follow a safe distance behind, look for ways out if I need one. Kinda like practicing for when I get on my bike. It's funny though, I do find myself having to watch my speed in my cage more than I do on my bike, I guess I'm gettin old.
