Watch out for motorcycles on the road please
Twice within a 3 mile stretch on my way home I had some blue hair pull out in front of me. Apparently a horn does me no good either... need to stop by the hardware store and pick up some ball bearings for when the horn isn't enough.

Twice last week I had d-bags on motorcycles fly passed me like morons. One was going between cars during rush hour on the highway. The other passed me on the right on a small no-passing 2-lane residential street, going at least 50 in a 25.
If I later spotted either of them smeared along the road, I wouldn't have even slowed down.

Two weeks ago I was starting to go through an intersection when I had the green light and an assbag turned left on me in the other direction.

When I say that it was a close call though, I mean that I avoided becoming mush by a matter of 3 inches or less both times. I was not speeding or doing anything foolish, just running on the right side of my lane minding my own business. |

Sounds like a blue hair problem, not a motorcycle problem.

If so I have a series of questions for you. 1. Why are we dumbasses? 2. What makes you believe we feel that we are special? 3. Why is the bike stupid? 4. Why would you not look for a vehicle which by state law has every right to be on the road? |

1. Because you're riding around on a vehicle that is inherently more dangerous than a car for what advantage? Thrill? Fuel efficiency? I'm really struggling to find a valid reason for it to be worth the extra risk involved in driving it 2. You're intentionally driving something that is more dangerous with very little benefit & is considerably harder to see & expecting everyone else to "watch out" for you. 3. I don't know if it's stupid but it's definitely not very safe & provides very little benefit over a car which would be much safer. 4. Yeah that's a bridge too far. I have more value for human life & don't want to live with the fact that I killed someone due to carelessness. However that's also a responsibility motorcycle riders put on other drivers, I have to be more careful when you're around because a slight mistake goes from being a fender bender to a possible life & death situation all due to your decision to drive a relatively unsafe vehicle. And I also think it's valid to question if they should have every right to be on the road. But as long as they're there I'm going to look out for them. But the implication that I need to be hyper vigilant because you haven't made the best decisions on your choice of vehicle to drive is something that just rubs me the wrong way.

We'll get this taken care of over time...
