When I said I felt like clotheslining the guy on the Buell and adding it as an option on the poll, I hope you 2 wheelers know it was a figure of speech. There are drivers in cars that I'd like to clothesline every day for the stupid shizzle they try to pull.

I don't care if some donkey on a bike gets in front of me, but riding in between the lanes doing 30 in stopped or slow moving traffic on a city street with jaywalkers all around is a big ass no-no in my opinion. That's part of the reason some folks who drive cars and have never ridden before don't like those on 2 wheels. It's giving bikers a bad name. When I see someone doing it, I can't help but think-where's the friggin police when you need them?

Like I said, I don't ride anymore, it's not my thing these days, but my brother has a garage full of fast 2 wheelers (2 Ducatis, a racing Kawasaki that he actually races), he's been riding for about 25 years, and I always think of him when I'm behind the wheel and keep a sharp eye out for the bikes.

I don't give a shizzle if a biker is moving along in stopped traffic on a highway or interstate, I can't blame them for that, and most of the time I'm envious. I just don't think it's a good idea to 'lane split' on a busy city street. Same goes for people in cars who switch lanes constantly to try to keep moving. Car or bike- you run over some errant jay walker some day, you'll wish you kept your ass in line.
