When you add in all the drivers who are impaired (booze, drugs, cell phones, kids, metally challenged, pissed off at the boss or spouse, etc.)...it almost seem like a miracle that we go out and ride home in one piece. But mostly we do. So, take a deep breath. My free advice (and worth every penny), turn down the ego, relax a little, have some fun.
Well said...

When I'm riding on the fwy, in the carpool lane and a rider is in front of me, if I want to pass him, I let him know I'm there and wait for him/her to move over and wave me by. At a stop light or stop sign I never pull up next to another bike. All this is bike riding 101. If you don't abide by these rules , you could get effed up quick!!! These are grown folks rules and your *** will catch hell trying to rewrite the rules. In Cali we roll deep!!!

I think guys on sport bikes make a lot of mistakes while riding on the road with other bikers. I have had them do stupid and reckless things that I sometimes believe they are not aware of.

Tailgating will get me going. HATE being tailgated on the bike.

Common sense isn't so common anymore ...

I've seen many a douche bag on a Harley do the same thing...not that I'm defending sport bike riders - but I'm not convinced stupidity is brand-specific.
