Is it open season on bikers ?
Had 3 close calls in the last 2 days..... cagers just love to cut you off, talk on their cell phones and pull turns in front of you...
I am 6'1" and 270 lbs kind of hard to miss... ( ugly to boot )
wish I could educate these a**holes.
Sorry just had to vent.
Hoping for a safe ride home today.

 

I had the same issue not long ago. First some idiot pulled out in front of me and I locked it. Then later on I was riding and some idiot tried to merge in to me. He didn't even look to the left when he merged. I had to lock it again as I didn't want to eat the curbed median. There should be mandatory driving tests every 4 years or so to help weed out some of the idiots.

 

They can't see a big rig and you are suprissed when they don't see you? A few deep breaths and a few choice words at the next light helps me.

I had some cager actually honk her horn at me at a light
because I didn't torque out the instant the light turned green.
Whoever she was yakking to on the cell phone must have thought it was funny too, that is until I put the kickstand down
and looked back!!
&nbsp\\;
You're right about it being open season on bikers though,
at least that's the way it seems. It also seems the speedo's
on most bikes are broken and are all at least 15 to 20 MPH slow.
THis is the only way I can explain why EVERYBODY seems to be passing me and I'M SPEEDING!!

It must be the heat.&nbsp\\; (yea right)&nbsp\\; I entered a 2-lane from the interstate yesterday about 4 car lengths ahead of some idiot.&nbsp\\; As soon as I merged, this moron hits the gas and starts to pass me on the right using what was left of the merge lane and the shoulder.&nbsp\\; I'm glad i was watching him or I would have been in big trouble when he decided to go through the intersection attached to my hip.&nbsp\\; If I had cruise control, I could have opened his door and slapped him silly right on the spot.&nbsp\\;

 

I always wanted to at least once leave a boot print in one of the doors. Probably end up on my butt and get run over by another cage. I've had more people pull in front of me since I got a Harley. On my last ride, a Honda don't laugh it served me well for 22 years, I had a flash device hooked to the headlight. I've been thinking about getting one for the Fatboy. At least I got noticed then. I've had people pull over to the side of the road probably thinking I was a LEO. Hilarious.

answer is :YES. it's ALWAYS open season on bikers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

...and as soon as you forget it, some dim-wit will rudely remind you.&nbsp\\; Ride Safe!

 

Can't have enough eyes to watch all the idiot cagers out there.

 

Check out a driver-warning-device called The Asp. Collapsible baton you can carry on the bike. Pull it out, extend it, and gently tap on the offending drivers hood. [&:]
