Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

AAAAHHHHHHH ZABENnnnyaaaaaHHaaa

 

That's the gunman

 

I saw that video, he was an asian guy right? And he got the shit beat out of him?

We had no place to go and in the middle of Nevada wasteland on a 2 lane road, it was a 30 minute drive to Nevada City (where the rally ended up being) so we would've been up shits creek. I was so pissed off at the situation. Fucking hate those kinds of people, fuck them all. Zero hesitation if I had to pick them or me.

 

I take it you don't ride. Cagers try to kill us on a daily basis. People will look you in the eye and swerve into you. Frequently. This isn't some anomaly in certain parts of the country. I can't count the number of times a cager has intentionally tried to kill me. Just for being on a bike, no other reason. I like to stand up on the pegs and be prepared to kick out their driver window when they swerve into me. I will probably get skinned up, but at least I will go down fighting. People are funny.

 

At least the idiot suffers for a while:

Easier said than done. You are kind of forced to be an a-hole on a bike, if you are passive in any way you are road pizza.

Don't let me jade your motivation. Riding a bike is awesome, but just keep in mind that when they tell you that you are invisible to traffic in the class it is a lie. People aim for you.

 

Should be titled "things guys under 9 inches won't get"

 

Pretty true. Have had many an A-hole intentionally swerve when I'm cutting through traffic. You really do have to be th most aggressive person on the road when you ride. I treat every car like it might slam on the brakes/swerve AT me/lane change without a blinker/decide they want to race me, it's actually kinda stressful lol. Today for instance, I drove to work, just because I didn't feel like gearing up physically and mentally.

 

I'm not convinced she's actually doing what she would like us to think she's doing. That Maglite top is easily screwed off and she could just have her mouth around the bottom of that.

 

Nobody told him about auto tinting rear view mirror obviously

 

Maybe it didn't come with one, like the 2014 Tacos.

 

My ex-girlfriend could do it.......ask me how i know

 

METH!!

 

There's a difference between defensive riding and being an asshole. That's proven by bikers that DON'T ride like assholes, and still make it home alive.

Examples? Don't brake check a 5,000lb truck. I don't care if you have the right of way or anything like that. Even the laws of physics aren't going to save your ass if my brakes fail, I don't react in time, or I really do want you dead like you think. The cops can show up later, ticket or even arrest me, but if you're dead it doesn't really matter to you. So why do they do it? Obviously enough people don't really want them dead or more would get run over. Don't tailgate a vehicle in a blind spot. It's not my fault, and I'm not "trying to kill you" if your dumbass is swerving through traffic, in and out of blind spots, close enough to kick a window, and I can't see you when I need to change lanes. Or if you're doing a 100mph bob n weave through traffic, coming up fast, don't wait for me to get out of the passing lane before swerving around, and I don't see you coming in time.

It's real simple. I have no problem with bikers, but someone doing any/all of the above DOES make me want to run them over. Just like someone doing the same in a car makes me want to push them off the road. It's not a bike-specific thing, it's an asshole thing. Don't be an asshole regardless of what you're driving. I have people do the same things to me in a truck (brake check, swerve into my lane like I'm not there, cut me off) so it's not a "cage" vs biker thing either.

 

Your first sentence just shows me you don't ride. You CAN NOT ride defensively, that's how you end up at the morgue. You HAVE to be the most aggressive rider on the road and expect everyone to drive like an idiot. Don't misunderstand my words here, I'm not saying be an asshole rider, I'm just saying, don't expect others to see you and get out of your way. I forge my own path, I flash my lights constantly night or day, if I'm cutting through stopped or slow traffic, you bet your ass I'm revving up the whole time so everyone looks in there mirrors trying to figure out where that crotch rocket dude who's revving is. It might be annoying, but they sure as heck know I'm coming. And you know what, I STILL get people who cut me off, no blinker, no warning, just a sudden swerve over Into another stopped lane. I'm also not one of those idiots doing 50 mph through stopped traffix. A CHP officer I chatted with once told me to keep it under 25 mph the current traffic speed, and that seems about right.

 

Ok correction, in CALIFORNIA you can not ride defensively. I don't know about the other states. ..never ridden in any others.
