I really look out for bikers, I really do, and I try to advocate that other drivers be aware of them… Buuuuuuuut, yesterday on my way home from work I saw one that really seems to be trying to be killed. In and out of the same lane, splitting lanes, swerving all across the 3 lanes, just non stop chaos. If a car were doing everything 100% correct, they would hit and kill this guy because he’s just out of control. And I see the same type of scenario at least once a day during the summer. It’s no different than the gun control debate IMO - treat them correctly and your chances of getting hurt are slim, act like an ass hole who thinks they are invincible and you’re going to get a mortality check. ---

This. Except Harley type bikes with the exception of the occasional make some noise harder acceleration for the most part they tend to ride pretty conservatively. Probably because the majority of those riders are older and you don’t live that long riding a bike when you ride like a twat. ---

May be in terms of riding position for cruisers, but most likely not suspension especially the rear; Which usually have very little travel and to compensate for that they have to be stiff which makes the ride pretty harsh. ---

I try not to take mine out that early in the AM, I like some of my neighbors and my bike isn’t obnoxious loud but isn’t quiet either. Though I hear AVB rolling by my house at 10-1030pm in his car when Im in bed during the week. Work at 5am comes quick! ---

Nah, there’s definitely a difference between pipes that are just loud and you’re trying to cruise through as quietly as possible and just BWRAAAAAAAAAAP for no reason down the street. ---

This fucking old dude down the stret from my old house used to rev his stupid harley for a half hour every nice day. Used to piss me off so bad. It calmed down after I antilagged his house in my Supra at midnight one Friday. ---
