The idiots the wheelie down the high way in flip-flops and a wife beater and act other-wise like a fool need to get splattered I’ll agree. Technical term for those types of town-riding no talent *** clowns would be a “squid” by the way.

If traffic is heavy and I’m only a few cars back from the front, I’ll make my way to the front cause 75% of people don't watch for bikes. I'd rather be out in front of traffic, than having to dodge asshats that can't drive....Especially the dumb ***** putting on their make-up while, talking on the phone and swatting at 3 kids in the back off a suburban assault vehicle. I can guarantee though if some ------- opens his door up on me in standstill traffic, he'll have one pissed off biker swinging a helmet at him. I can't stand ignorant ****-bags that think tail gating, throw debris, and generally having 0 regard for the well being of the individual on a bike is acceptable. I carry a pocket full of ball bearings just for such people. There is nothing like chucking a hand full of those over your shoulder at 60mph to ruin a tailgater’s day.

I park my bike on the side walk because it's a lot better when you're alone than having one of the aforementioned retards pull into your bike at full speed because they couldn't see it due to vehicles being parked on either side of it.

I ride staggered fashion witho ther bikers and always keep myself an opening when forced into traffic. Keeping yourself alive on a bike greatly depends on your options during a crisis. I'd really perfer not to get smashed between a car merging on me and a guard-rail because I didn't leave myself an out.

Gotta ride smart boys.

riding smart has nothing to do with driving in between lanes because you don't want to wait in traffic. i'll open my door, swing a helmet at me and get a gun in your ------- face. i've never once decided that i owned the road because i'm on a motocycle, and think that i can disobey traffic laws. its like driving your car on the shoulder because your too impatient to wait like everyone else.

parking on the sidewalk is not a big deal. its like parking two bicycles next to each other.

you definitely have to protect yourself and leave a way out of a bad situation at all times, i've found that when i obey all the traffic laws, i dont have a problem doing this.

i see more people on bikes tailgating than people on cars tailgating bikers.

riding on the shoulder in a traffic jam is no big deal. its part of having a motorcycle.

lane splitting is ok in a traffic jam but its more dangerous than just going on the shoulder

one big problem with teh whole comparison about bikes and motorcycles. ones huge and the other you can pick up one handed. a bike on a sidewalk you walk around. a Honda CBR ont he sidewalk takes up the sidewalk. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. not vehicles.

If your kid leaves his toys out and you step on it. is it your fault for not watching or do you tell your kids to clean up after themselfs and pick up their toys? If you do not want your Bike stepped on, played with, pushed over, or fucked with then dont put it where pedestrians are supposed to walk, cause it doesnt belong there.

Last week i was chillin at a stop light and some ---- head rolls up beside me chillin like 6 inches away from my car. light turned green as im yellin out the windows "what the ---- are you doing" and he pulls off. thats just being a ------ *****.

i really haven't seen anyone park on the sidewalk. even if they did doesn't give you the right to go bash up their bike.

tell me riding on the shoulder is a bad idea when youre sitting in dead stopped trafffic on the highway, on the middle of a 95 degree day with the sun glaring right down on you? you go ahead and open your door, your gonna get a nice boot print on you quarter panel, your face, and a nice attempted vehicular assault charge. you can pull out a gun if you want, but i hope you dont plan on using i unless you want to go to jail for manslaughter, because its sure as ---- not self defense.

i dont ride shoulder unless traffic isnt moving. if its moving steady enough where i dont need to put my feet down every 10 feet then i wait for traffic. if some other idiot wants to split cars and ---- you have zero right to do anything to harm them. it doesnt effect you if they are getting up further in traffic, if they wanna take the chance of getting hit by the dumb bitch on her phone then thats thier choice.

Obeying the law doesn't account for the idiot factor of most people now days, especially the ones that drive like it's a birth right and not a privilege. It's true there are typically more aggressive riders by percentage on motorcycles than automobiles. However, most bikers are well aware of the perils they face each time they throw a leg over the bike... The 4 wheeled cagers that could care less if they hit you are another story.

They'll eventually learn the hard way that 4 tires stop faster than 2....

Only time I typically park on the side walk is at large shopping centers where a piece of side walk can be found big enough to park cars on...even then I will park well out of the way. That is courteous, and you're less likely to have little Timmy coming along and burning himself cause mom/dad isn't paying attention like normal.

Exactly...

it also sucks in traffic if you have a air cooled bike, not moving it'll get hot as ---- and you might have to keep turning it off and on

Hell no I didn't confess. They had me. It took about a month before they charged me. The ******* had eye witnesses and timelines and photos. If they want you bad enough, they'll get you. I was young and sure as hell didn't want to spend 10 years in prison so I took the deal. With the injury the officer ended up with and the damage to the cruizer I am lucky I got a deal at all.

ehh, ---- the police. ill still continue to run if i hink i can get away. if there is any doubt in my mind that i cant i will stop. ive done the pull the car into someones driveway and kill the lights/engine. ****** flew by then spiked his brakes and pulled a u'i. by the time he was turned around, i had pulled out the driveway and was over 100mph.
its not smart, but it is on hell of an adrenaline rush.
