Now this doesn't apply to those who don't do dumb shit. But this morning I had some idiot in a big utility truck complete with cherry picker just cruising along side me.
Harley rider behind me, I see him nearly every morning. Long blond poney tail down to his lower back, stupid useless thin helmet on a red Harley with saddle bags...but hard not the soft leather ones, fiberglass, maybe they have A different name? Anyway, between my drivers side mirror and the big ass mirror on the truck, I know there couldn't have been much room for this big motorcycle with fairly decent sized rider, but he decides to split the lanes. All I can think is "you're fucking retarded!" I give a quick honk to his stupidity and I see a tan leather work glove rise with the middle finger standing tall. Splitting lanes is illegal in Georgia btw. Oh he must think I'm the ass hole for honking at him being a fucking idiot? Do these retards not realize if he fucks up, it's not going to bother me in my beater 1996 Honda, but he's going to have a real bad day, if not lethal. |

Were his pipes loud?
Something saved his life and it damn sure ain't his riding skills. |

I ride everyday, not on a Harley. Your implication that most Harley riders do stupid things similar to this is not my experience. Most of the time I see the young sport bike riders doing shit like that.

ANY Harley rider that lane splits must be an decent rider, I would give him a pass (no pun intended)

View Quote They're called panniers, and idk how people lane split with them on. It's hard enough without them some times on my skinny Thruxton R, let alone an enormous Harley with panniers. |

I didn't say he can't ride, I'm saying it's fucking stupid. Risk vs reward. And I didn't even mention him running the red light at the next intersection. View Quote Just chalk it up to not minding your own business and you got called on it & move on. You can't save all of us idiots on the planet, worry about you and yours. |

Did the bad man who effiiciently uses available road space to help traffic flow smoothly hurt your feelings?
Call the police next time OP. Make sure to mention the obscene gesture, GA probably has a law against that too. Make sure you hang around to file a full report. Justice must be done. |

Why would you honk in this situation? You think a guy that's stupid enough to split lanes like that gives a shit about your horn?

Like they've dedicated their life to slowing people down, and just can't come to terms that some will slip through. |

I can't understand why people pace with cars/trucks right next to them, nowhere to go if shit happens. Get the fuck out of the way and position yourself on the road so you're not fucking the flow of traffic and mean old motorcycle men won't hurt your feelings, problem solved! |

View Quote The people who are the worst are the ones who sit right on the semis ass for miles, but then decide to pass right as I'm changing lanes to pass them. Right behind them are the people who put the lead foot down with no cars around, then slow to a crawl to pass anybody. |

I do lane splitting on log jammed freeways. Getting rear-ended is not pretty for a motorcyclist, and on log jams, that's where it typical happens.
Maybe control your rage and get one yourself rather than be frustrated while sitting in traffic that's not flowing? |

It's entertaining to see how being on a motorcycle ticks some people off when you are out riding. I've seen drivers do all kinds of crazy shit to prove their manhood to me.

Being on a sportbike goads Harley riders into taking risks too. It's rare that a Harley rider won't "try" and overtake you.

Just move over to the right a bit to give him more room. Geez, it's not hard. Your not king of the road.

Never seen it, EVER. However, that does hilariously describe the effect my Ducati has on the plastic 600cc crowd... View Quote Pretty much anybody on any other motorcycle is going to try to turn up the heat on you. Even guys on dirt bikes. It's a jungle out there. |

When somebody says they've never seen something happen that commonly happens, I just assume they don't ride that much. Spends more time polishing and tinkering than riding.
