Hey all ... I'm new to blogging but I just got this idea from a bud.
We are bikers (ya... we ride motorcycles) and we are all sick and tired of crazy drivers endangering our lives and yes, this includes motorcycle drivers.
Post your experiences and thoughts on how we can get these crazies to change their dangerous ways.
Wife & I were out for a ride yesterday ... beautiful sunny, warm fall day.
Two lane road, approaching a hill that opens to a 3 lane, passing lane going up,
single lane down. Traffic in front, traffic coming towards and a guy on a small,
what appeared to be dual-purpose type bike riding my ass.
Get to where
the passing lane starts which is a left sweep and then turns to a long right
hand sweep and I crank it in the passing lane to get past the "Sunday drivers".
Start into the right hand sweep and we're movin pretty good, in the lean,
passing the cagers and I check my right mirror for the guy on the bike (he was
still on my ass just prior to that) ... don't see him in the mirror. At that
very second I hear him on my left.... he's passing me on my left, in my lane, as
we're going around this right hand sweep, passing the cages in the right lane
............ with traffic coming down the hill !!!
I had to do a real
quick steering correction to prevent colliding with him and to allow him enough
room to avoid a head-on with the oncoming traffic as by this time he's right on
the center line .... geeesh! (it always amazes me how experienced "instinctual
reaction" takes over)
Gets by me ... swerves around the cage in front of
us, goes between it and another car and he's ahead of everyone and
gone.
This all happened in a matter of a few seconds.
I tell ya,
if I had caught up with that IDIOT somewhere down the road, he would be wishing
he never got on a motorcycle that day!
Then, later on, in a small
community, approaching an intersection where we had to turn right, a woman cuts
across in front of us from a parking lot on the opposite side of the street ...
never even saw us ... it was obvious her sole intent was to get across the
street before the big truck coming towards us. Nope, she couldn't wait for that
truck to pass .... just had to hit the gas and go .... didn't even look to the
right.
FRIKKEN A-HOLES !!
Anyhoo ... feel free to post your experiences and offer any suggestions.
