I put a lot more miles on my bikes last year than i did on my 911, 5000+. I'll do even more this year. The reason for the increased mileage was because I got whacked by a SUV the previous fall on my bike. Knee cartilage transplants and rehab means I have to ride a lot to keep the knee working without pain.

So......

The best roads in our area to drive on are also the best ones to drive in a spirited manner. Sadly not every driver (911 or not) is aware of the law or the bike rider's rights to the highway. Like the fact that a bike can actually ride down the middle of the road when required, and that they don't have to run on the outside of the fog line, all quite legally. But Porsche drivers are generally a lot better informed and careful than everyone else driving around so I can't complain about Porsche drivers. Other drivers? In our area it can be down right dangerous on any public road with traffic. The best roads (the perfect Porsche roads) are generally the safest because of lack of traffic and the slower pace everyone but the 911s and sports cars typically drives.

Although only a few bike riders have given me the one finger salute as a comment to my 911 driving I have intentionally changed when I drive (and do group drives) to specifically avoid bikes.

Best way to avoid bikers is to go really, really early when the temps are down or drive after dark.

FWIW even a "bump" the rider can easily ride away from might well be $50K just in medical bills and a full year in rehab if my accident was any example. That is with no damage to the vehicle and no damage to my bike. My attorney who specializes in bike/car incidents says I was on the lucky side both in injuries and medical costs.

Best case is just slow down and take the faster driving to open roads or the track.
