I nearly killed a biker last night.
So I'm trucking down 435 in the big white truck and I decide to change lanes. I'm well aware of where I am - there aren't any vehicles nearby but I check the mirrors anyway. Yup, nothing there, so I signal and begin my lane change..... check the mirror again.
In my mirror is a motorcycle closing fast. I jerk back into my lane and my mouth drops. In 3 seconds, dude is half a mile ahead of me and gone past a bend at the Grandview Triangle. He must have been doing 160 because he FLEW by me and I was doing 65 or 70. Had I hit him and splattered him all over Grandview - no guilt. Nothing I could have done. He's just fortunate that I was extra attentive last night. |

He must not've been wearing a helmet. If he had, you wouldn't have been able to give him enough room to go around.

While driving to see my grandparents in Louisiana we were coming down an on-ramp to the Interstate when a motorbike comes flying down, past us and off at high speed (guessing 90+). I turned to my oldest who was in the passenger seat and told him that's how you end up seriously hurt, acting stupid on a bike. Not 30 mins later traffic slows down and stops for some reason. We get up to the accident and there is the biker lying face down in the center median, his bike banged up not too far away. By the numbers of emergency people around I'm guessing he was helicopter bound to a trauma ward. Stupid+bike is a bad recipe.

I was traveling back from work this morning on I-135 and was passed by a group of 40-60 motorcycles over the course of 8 miles. They were easily traveling 80 mph (20 over the limit) and changing lanes frequently as they weaved through traffic. I thought I was keeping track of them, but I flinched a couple times as a couple zoomed passed me, seemingly coming out of nowhere. If any accidents occured, it would have been totally their fault.
I know the cycle driver deserves the room and respect of any other vehicle on the road....but idiocy deserves none.

If the slower traffic would just get in the right lane they wouldn't have to weave in and out of traffic. |

I hate motorcycles.
On the regular highways, I give absolutely no respect to them on the road. I figure if you're dumb enough to ride that death bike, you don't want to live that long.
