Am I the only one that finds this annoying?

Post by jlynn433 »

When youre riding in a subdivision, at a stop sign and your trying to see past a big * van parked barely in the driveway to your left when turning right so you pull out about a foot and almost get SMOKED by an f150? Laugh at me for this post, its ok but ignorant people like this turn pulling out of an intersection into a game of russian roulette :nervous: . anybody else have an experience quite like this? :*:

Welcome to the world of 2 wheel motoring. It ain't nothing new and it isn't going to go away. Ride like everyone is out to get you or the will. Even Bambi is trying to kill you. :roll:

There's dumbass drivers everywhere. But I've been in an accident with a deer screwed the * out of his car didn't total it out couldn't imagine what it'd be like on a scoot or bike. If were doing any speed or deer runs into the side of you. It'd be a nasty sight

Or the people that start to pass you and just stay in an arms length next to you. Or pass you then slam on the brakes to make a right like really would of took 2 seconds longer to make your turn. That didn't happen to me was an suv in front of my car that did it and the guy on scoot had to brake and cut hard to the left.
Know almost all of buddy's with sport bikes are armed, they can deff keep up with any speed of traffic though. Miss being able to ride them.

This is why you are supposed to ride closer to the center line. You are NOT supposed to hug the white line at any time. You are a legal motorist and it is your lane when riding.
