 Topic: Motor Cyclist ??
Posted: 27 Jun 2022 at 6:00pm |
Witnessed this evening at a "busy 4 way stop" intersection a convoy of 12 "bikes" 2 abreast that just kept rolling through the intersection  ?? Are you guys considered a semi tractor /trailer to just keep-on-keeping on  ?? I'm beginning to have more respect for the spandex bikers

Been a standing COURTESY where many LEO will stop traffic and allow a Group of Riders riding as a group to continue as a Group thru a stop. NOT Once heard a Motorist complain UNTIL NOW. Guess that interruption rates with Trains blocking you for a few minutes where could not be at home in the recliner gaining weight.

How many pairs of spandex do you own? Do they make them that big? Special occasions I'm assuming out eating your chicken sammich getting your sexy on.

Many times a group who are traveling together will all use the same space of time to clear a intersection quickly - 2 cycles take less room than 1 car , but accordingly only 1 bike at a time is suppose to move , and then any other cars would be waiting longer as 1 bike enters intersection , then waits for 2 cars to clear then another bike ,
Get real and think they were being courteous to others by moving as fast as they could to NOT IMPEND OTHER TRAFFIC .
But it seems some will complain even if hung with a new rope - about the rope itches .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

A few years back, I witnessed something similar. It was not a Freedom ride or Harley bikers. It was young pukes.......riding souped up crotch rockets. They were riding as a pack....20 to 30 of them.......light turned red and pack just kept rolling thru. Laws didn't apply to them.
Last week came on scene of what had been a fatal motor cycle crash. Rider T-boned a pickup at high speed. Bike had been a souped up Harley........was before.......was a mangled mess of crumpled metal after.
Saw a report on local news........and has become standard.......abysmal reported. Truck pulled in front of biker. Didn't bother to say who had right of way.
Few years back, was sitting at a red light...........light turned green.......moments later a bike came out of nowhere from left side.......was going fast enough it went airborne in front of me......so I'd guess 70 to 80 in a 35 mph speed zone. Two weeks go by and news reports a fatal bike crash at that same location. Same conditions........biker ran a light at high speed and t-boned a car. Karma.

Only been riding motorcycles coming up on 60 years now , only put one down once on freshly paved blacktop when I swear the headlight was absorbed by the fresh asphalt as was completely black and could see nothing on a curve . Broke headlight and one spark plug and bunch of corn stalks in the field I landed in - well young lady that was a passenger ended up breaking a finger . Sure spoiled the night for what i was thinking would be a pleasant evening out - with some other thoughts on how the night would end . Did have one other when guy pulled out of parking lot and I caved in the drivers door of his car , but bike stayed upright and so did I ... (Why I seldom ride in the city - to many don't see motorcycles )

Coke I’m sure this went way over Free’s head. He’s so locked in on the negative in every situation he can’t fathom the good.

i've worked and seen so many mc wrecks through my life, i really don't care to ride them anymore. too many car/truck drivers that don't pay attention to them. about the worst was a lady pulled out in front of a speeding biker (yeah...he was in the wrong too), he hit the back door, the bike stayed in the backseat, he didn't! he went on almost 300 ft more. another was a bike deer accident, cut the deer clear in half, they both died! seemed every accident i was at...well...it wasn't pretty...but then again neither are plane crashes and car/truck accidents. I guess i feel a bit safer with something around me...but it's not always the safest!
