Just drive like you normally do. The people on the bikes are gauging their movements to what they see. If they screw up they are responsible for damage. They are the ones at risk. It's like long boarding down a hill. If people are walking, precise maneuvers are being made to stay far away from the pedestrians. But they always move directly in the way. ( this is 100% true what happens every time) Also, I do have one question. Are you pissed at the jap bikes enough to put your phone down for a few minutes?
Well if you're riding to work then you ride to work, you don't go pretending you're a race bike rider. Plain & simple. Makes sense to me.
Not what you said initially?? IF you did hit him on purpose (as you stated above) then that is totally irresponsible and regardless of whether he'd cut you up or annoyed you by his stupidity you could have seriously injured him, and as you said you had the intent to hit him, charges could follow and not just road traffic offences (here in the UK at least).
the road itself will always be a menace as long as sufficient alternatives are opposed in order to con 'free' people into indenturing themselves.
Love it, I love seeing females drive motorcycles. I tried it once and almost crashed into a parked cop car, thus ending my dream of being in a motorcycle gang
I want to know if it's possible to simply start a Harley and drive it away because it seems everyone has to rev the shit out of it for a moment just so you know they are about to leave and notice them. Other then that they are nice people. I agree it's the crotch rockets who usualy do the dumb stuff.
I do want to acknowledge that the dill weeds who hold their throttle open on the jappers really do suck. I mean with the clutch in so the engine tops out and tries to blow up. Total suck.
Harley's and dirt bikes are the worst sounding things ever. Ever been camping with friends and some asswipe starts a dirt bike at 6am while you're hungover trying to sleep?? Yeah. Well. Worst fucken noise. Ever. I hate them all!
A possible explanation is excessive consumption of Old Curmudgeon Ale. A remedy is to drink at least an equal amount of Curmudgeon's Better Half.
im not going to explain it all but we were at an intersection...stopped...not driving down the road yep..i would have been charged on that one...but it was a chance i decided to take
Havent riden a motorcycle in about 15 years Im too much of a scardypuss to ride one nowadays I like my legs and arms
Warming up the engine at start, ya have to do that. No automatic trans, so downshifting and engine breaking when stopping...something about matching engine speed to drive train so ya won't stall out. It's not about being cool...yes, you do want people to notice and hear you coming since people many times are not paying attention to any other vehicle around them.
I am a passenger...too much of a stoner to be in control on two wheels. :daisy: But I sure love to ride and have for many, many years.
I used to be one of those idiots...but I was young. This was back in the day when Jap bikes were just hitting the U.S. in numbers and you could go to Sears and buy a Puch Allstate bike right off the floor. We used to ride enduros all over the place popping wheelies and raising cane. I had an Ossa which had a removable muffler which could be turned upside down and hung under the exhaust pipe to give you a straight unmuffled exhaust for more power. Extremely loud. But it was the late sixties and early seventies so it was a different time.

The problem is that motorcycles do not have a massive flywheel like cars have and thus they have a need for the motor to have enough momentum (enough revs) to get the bike moving forward without killing the engine. Most riders will thus overrev the bike because you look pretty foolish and people will honk at you if you kill the bike because you didn’t have enough engine momentum when you go to take off. ;-)
