I ride like every mothers son is out to run over me, i expect people to do stupid things. Take NOTHING for granted. Not stop signs not stop lights nothing!!!
Lights turn green i wait and make sure no one is going to push their luck, same way with lights turning red. Parking lots are death traps.
Every sideroad, driveway and intersection gets a good checking.
I drove defensively in the cage but rideing again ive noticed even more stupid careless Dangerous people on the road.
I dont have at least one try to kill me per ride i aint had a ride...lol
But lately, especialy yesterday has been excessive.
Thing is i seen more bikes on the road yesterday then ive seen in the last week or so total???? You'd think people would learn.
What we need is some roadside signs and about 10,000 info-mercials promoteing motorcycle awareness.(like it would do any good)
Call the cops? I thought about it. But unless you got paint smeared on your bike or blood on the ground their not going to drop their doughnut and do a d@mn thing. As likely to blame you as the cager. Cops hate bikers anyway. Not racial profileing but stereotypeing. We're all bad folks. Just like all girls on bikes are Easy
Now as for concealed carry im all for it, he!! im a gun nut, love em, mans best friend. But advocateing useing one, even on someone trying to force you off the road id say NO!
Yeah their trying to kill you but i can see any number of problems and jail time for anyone rideing and useing one...even in self defense while rolling.
It aint that d@mn easy to hit a moveing target while moveing either!
Then you got to think about any passangers, includeing kids, who would be put at risk. As well as nearby vehicle.
That happens a time or two most folks would be so afraid of bikers they would ban em from the roads.
Can you imagine the grief we would get from cops if we just carried a non-fireing mockup of an AR15 across our handlebars? You'd get stopped and drawn on every time you passed a cop. Not to mention how they would react if they thought you were carrying concealed for sure. NO, firearms are'nt the answer to cagers. Mace or a Tazer would be a better choice for self defense while rideing. Your not going to be tempted to use them on a cager as they try to run you off the road or add you to the dust on their rear bumper. Road rage goes both ways.
Loaded whips maybe, caltrops, BBs ect but expect repercussions if caught. The worlds against us, we're all Sons n Daughters of Anarchy. He!!s Angels in the makeing.
Deer? Im so used to watching for them fuzz butts while driveing its second nature. Now them stupid boxers, beagles ect, well their another thing all together. They ARE out to get you.
Got to be like a Boxer, light on your feet, agile, fast, mobile. Expect an attack from any direction, take nothing for granted. And even then your going to have some close calls or get hit.
HEY! I got an idea. Make everyone spend their first 6 months driveing on a scooter or motorcycle before they can even touch a car or truck.
Let em see what all the fuss is about. Earn a little respect and breatheing room, at least from those that survived their fellow cagers.
To cagers we're the wayward troublesome step children, trouble makers. We dont get the same respect or have the same rights as far as their concerned. Even though we pay the same road taxes and have to go the extra mile to be able to ride legaly(MC license on top of a cage license).
Yeah id loved to of walked up and gave her a few of my thoughts of her driveing skills and her parentage. But i could see no good comeing from it, even problems. SHE call the cops about a biker verbaly abuseing her id probably of had a ticket or ended up in jail.
Id of called id of simply got no wreck no response.
Been a man and id of beat the snot out of him(i aint no lil feller) id probably be breaking rocks for the next 6 months.
We get NO respect from anyone except 'MOST' other riders.
I still get a laugh from the harley baggers in novelty german helmets that wont even wave let alone LOOK at you...lol Goldwingers have to run a close second.
l
Guess cause im rideing a light fast gazelle instead of a lumbering beast i aint a real rider.
S'OK, they can eat my dust in the twisties...lol
Rant over.
Ride safe ride smart and make it home alive.
