Give the idiot a Darwin Award and thank him for his efforts to cleanse the gene pool....and, they are best known as donor cycles by the medical community...

Motocycles make me nervous, and for due reason. I had one peel out of parking lot and overturn his bike directly in front on me. I came within feet of running over him because he got a little overexcited with the accelerator. Mungo, you are right, there are some safe and cautious motorcylcists out there. For some, a motorcycle is an efficient and entertaining mode of transportations. For others, it is all about thrill-seeking and that is when motocyclists create dangerous situations. The same could be said about thrill-seekers that drive sports cars as well though.

My boyfriend and I are middle-aged Harley riders, and we get so disgusted with the way the young twits ride those noisy crotch-rockets. They give the rest of us a really bad rap!

To those of you who use caution when around us on bikes, a very big THANK YOU. We appreciate it very much.

Wow - is that really how you perceive us Animallover?

All of us zip through traffic? Are you certain it's "ALL" of us? There couldn't be one motorcyclist in all of the Triangle area that drives responsibly?

And JocoBoy? Russian Roulette eh? It wouldn't have to be that way if you cagers paid attention to your driving. Try putting down that hamburger, cellphone, newspaper, cordless shaver and leave the kids alone in the backseat and drive.

I can't count how many times someone has pulled out in front of me or changed lanes on top of me. Look before you do so and for God's sake, those little reflective thingies on the side of your car? They are mirrors! Use them for something besides picking spinach out of your teeth.

All be it, in this case the motorcyclist wasn't paying attention.

I agree smooth!
