This area is full of motorcycles - all different kinds and along with that different riders.

Anything you can say about the dumb stuff I see -- can be equally applied to BOTH 2 and 4 wheel operators.

Ultimately the same mental defect exists not matter how many wheels you're driving.

I'm currently owned by 6 motorcycles.....4 of which are ridden routinely.....but my daily driver is my Silverado....so I see it from both sides.

Funny story that happened about 4-5 years ago. I was driving the Silverado west on SR44 which gets a bit clogged until you get past Home Depot so sometimes you are changing lanes a bit to get past the bottlenecks. I guess a Harley rider was doing the same thing behind me a bit but I stayed ahead of him by a good bit but for some reason (I guess) he got offended when I passed a slow car with him already in the passing lane - although no way did I not see him let alone cut him off. He came up next to me and was jawing away which I basically ignored until it was clear he was making it his mission to cling to my side and continue his ranting so after a while letting him go on and on I finally rolled my window down, smiled, and shot him the bird. He had the biker gear on and I guess the mentality I have seen here and thought he could intimidate me. Wrong. But no way would I ever use my vehicle - whether 2 or more wheels - to take advantage of another operator. My philosophy is to simply leave them behind and out of mind.

When I'm on any of my 'scooters' I try to steer as clear from others as possible. No matter how many wheels they're driving.
