When talking motorcycles with another rider and they use the term "I like to Drive my motorcycle" That Drives me nuts... You ride a motorcycle...

When riding my motorcycle it's the people that have no reguard for my safety or their own wheather that be another rider or a cager.

Another vote for the cell phone/texting!!!!!
I can cure this little problem tomorrow, I'm positive the technology is available! How you ask?
If the device is "sensed" moving at 20 mph or greater, the somona beotch locks up and turns off!!!!! Convince me that this will not solve our problem!!!
Number 2:
All these inconciderate douche bags who travel side by side with another vehicle while in the fast lane (for MILES!!) Maybe it's some unwritten redneck nascar rule that if you do pass, it's gotta be on the right?!?!?!?!?
I have seen signs "slower traffic keep right," but evidently the school systems here in Georgia don't get into complex comprehention?
Went to Munich Germany for a week last year...NO traffic problems. The Popo will write your azz a ticket if your caught in the left lane BESIDE another vehicle and don't pass em!!!!

Man those folks put the brew away!!!

ALL the responses...PLUS

The A-Hole that flips his/her cigarette butt out the window in just the right place to slip into the airstream of the windshield and hit you right in the forehead or chest. Substitute drink cup, dip sit, fast food wrappers....or anything else lazy people don't want to properly dispose of.

People who go through a mid life crisis and buy a motorcycle they can't ride. It's a fashion statement to most of them. They'll never understand the feeling guys who ride because they love it get. Most guys I ride with have sacrificed better homes or bigger cages to be able to have a decent bike and have for years.

Training courses that alledgedly teach these people to ride, get them licenced so they can go to Sturgis and drag their feet until they shift to second gear.

Riders who bitch about cagers. They've always been a menace to us and always will be. Get over it. You have to learn to deal with that fact if you really want to ride.

Riders who bitch about how "bikers" are discriminated against. This has been a fact of life for the more than 40 years I've been riding. Do something about it. Get active in organizations that fight bad laws etc. Bitching never solved anything!

Cagers that cut in between a group of motorcycles.

Cagers that tailgate motorcycles.

Cagers that "just have to get in the left lane".

Motorcycle groups that take up two lanes on a 2 lane road (for no reason)

MOTORCYCLIST THAT RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US!

Phew, I feel better

Gravel trucks that don't cover their load!!

Other motorcycles that pass you in your lane (without even giving you a heads up that they're going to pass)

1.merging traffic and drivers changing lanes without looking over their shoulder(cages)
2.merging and lane changing without a turn signal (cages)
3. any type of vehicle that doesn't cover or secure their cargo properly (have dodged a surfboard and a roll of insulation)
