1. red light sensors
2. Anyone who is not pating attention to the road (cell phones, etc.)
3. cagers that blast their horn when they're right next to you for apparently no reason... The other day I was enjoying the ride and while stopped at a light, this lady in a car comes up beside me in the next lane over, blasts her horn three times, does the rocker head bob like beavis and butt-head, throws out a hang loose sign (thumb and pinky finger), screams YEAH, RIGHT-ON DUDE!!!! This whole episode scared the crap right out of me, especially with the horns a tootin right in my ear. After checking my shorts to make sure I did not crap myself and then regaining my composure, I politely waved back and said, "great day for a ride" in a normal tone and she heard me just fine.

1.People whe are across the yellow line while I am riding agressivley through the twisties.
2. People who stay in the right lane at less than passing speeds. MOve over to the right.
3. bikers with loud pipes that delight in reving them up and pissing off all of the non bikers. ( I have loud pipes but dont use them obnoxiously.)
4. Cagers that squeeze inbetween our two second staggard bike formation.. Itiots.
5. Tailgaters.... we have no protection. And especially when you tailgate my wife on her bike. Makes me want to take my little fiend out of my pocket and show my displeasure.
6. Bikers who are too ignornat or stubbor to admit that helmets actualy increase your chances of survival.

following someone who gets in the passing lane and deicides to just ride there beside a tractor trailer. If your gonna pass that truck, get on with it already! I'm gettin beat up by the wind and don't feel like hangin out to see if one of his trailer tires is gonna blow. I also hate this when I am driving a truck.

I didn't read all the posts, therefore, this may have been covered (but I doubt it). The murdering of the english language, grammar and spelling. It has always been a pet peeve of mine, and it happens frequently on this forum, ergo motorcycle related.

Using the excuse "I didn't see you" to cover up their inability to stay aware of whats around them! I honestly feel that if that excuse is given they should automatically be cited for reckless driving.

All of the above. How about some group ride PP's.
1-Riding in a loosey goosey formation in heavy traffic!! Tighten it up before someone gets killed!!!
2-Riding in a ultra tight formation on a lonely country road!!
3-Riders who cross your line in a group. Pass a car then cut back ito the original lane before you have a chance to clear.
4-- OIL THREADS!!!
