Hadn't heard that...what I did hear was that this forum was for issues involving 'Touring Motorcycles'. There IS, however, an 'Off Topic' forum that is 'open'. Just was wondering what the nexus was between the incident & 'touring motorcycles' was...maybe you could edify me?

Sorry, probably should have researched the bylaws before posting my account of an unusual occurance observed from the seat of a touring bike. I've seen interesting threads on the touring forum concerning the age of riders, bears, products, and rider trips so I guess I mistook those as acceptable fare. I did enjoy all of them, should I have done so?

This Touring section is likely the most active one and where most of us live !!
Thanks for sharing OP. Just another example of a little runt who needs a loud vulgar bike be feel good.

Who knows, maybe the guy didn't see them because of the sun or some other distraction. Or he was just being a dick. Probably the latter. He was obviously trying to impress you and his judgment was definitely lacking. Jumping on a green light like that can have devastating consequences. He could have killed the woman. Lots and lots of accidents happen because someone is showing off.

The quickest way to get t-boned and become an organ donor is jumping green lights. I never do it in my cage or on my ride. Nearly every light change there is always someone racing the yellow/red.
Darwinism will resolve for the bad @$$ biker and the joggers that trust in the law rather than their brain. Famous last words on the headstone:

Agreed, seems no one can make up their own mind any more.
