Too many people on bikes have a strong sense of entitlement. Everyone needs to look out and be cautious of them regardless of how they ride.
On a few of them where motorcycles were trying to pass on the right you could almost see the cars drifting to the right to cut them off. And then that one guy who tried to sneak by & the guy opened up his car door. I've always wanted to do that.
I chose to ride a Motorcycle as my primary source of transportation for 15 solid years, no matter if it were pouring out, snowing out, or 20 below zero. I loved riding that much, taking the horrendously bad, with the good. My toughest ride was a 400 mile journey from the Western Border of KS/CO., in 2 feet of snow; into the Springs, down to Pueblo, down the Raton pass (full of ice), didn't stop til it quit snowing in Santa Fe, NM. I'd not want to ever have to repeat that insane ride, yet it was a monumental dare with myself, that I could ride a bike in snow for a 16 hour period. That and just plain being dumb. Tho' I had only 2 days to make it home, back to work. I chose to park my bike for the next 13 years, while my boys grew up. I chose to get back on it, only for Sunday drives in Scenic Areas. Sooo many people driving into EAFB, cut me off on a daily basis on a 2 lane highway. So often, I got disgusted, with the normal pleasure one has with riding a bike. MY bike, having the largest Front Light ever placed on any Motorcycle at 12" diameter. Even then with the light coming on with the ignition, I continued to be pulled out in front of (by other cars going the other direction), still finding myself in a ditch daily. Even at night, with that big light on low beam, I'd get High Beam flashes nightly, so when I hit my brights, no one dared play light lamp chicken.... I too have found it too easy to pull out in front of Bikes, myself. Often in a car, our minds just don't react as they would with a Car we see approaching. For some reason, a Motorcycle often takes longer to register. While riding a Motorcycle tho'; Defensive Driving is mandatory if you want to live, and that's an entirely different mindset than in a car.....regardless, you have to act as if every car on a side street is going to pull out in front of you. However the ass clowns plowing thru a Intersection of Kids walking through it, WITH the RIGHT OF WAY....what asshole would not slow down, and comply????????? so let me be the first Motorcyclist to Say: WTF, this is Crazy, "HOLY SHIT', while a lot of these riders shouldn't even have a M1-C license to ride a bike to begin with......sad....!!!
