PERFECT! I've been riding bikes all my life and I've never had a term for the crotch rocket invincible crowd. Organ donors.

That is assuming their organs hold up.

More like blood donors in my book.

Where to start...

1. Slow drivers in the fast (passing) lane... esp the ones that don't move after you flash/honk
2. The same drivers that are yapping on the cell phone so they're going 15 MPH under the limit
3. People that see the "NO TURN ON RED" sign but fail to read the 'WHEN PEDESTRIANS ARE PRESENT"
4. People that stop dead still until they can cut over to another lane blocking all traffic behind them
5. People that do not understand "zippering" to an offramp/onto traffic and stop until they get to the end of the ramp.

... and that's just from the top of my head.

And speaking of your post...

two things:

people in front of me not using their damn turn signals

when I'm ramping onto a freeway, someone is in the right lane and there's no one for a mile in either direction, and they won't move into the left lane

people in front of me going from a parking to the turning lane all in one move.

oh, that's 3. there's probably more . . .

**Shelby07** · 05-07-2006, 12:59 PM

I think this attachment says it all...

**CoventryCat86** · 05-07-2006, 02:52 PM

People talking on their damn cell phones and not paying attention while they drive. Some people CAN indeed drive and talk at the same time but unfortunately many cannnot.

The Connecticut Legislature passed a cell phone ban (while driving) last year which at first I was very much opposed to because I don't agree with the philosophy of it. However, the more I think about it and the more I continue to be aggravated by idiots, the more I agree with the law!

**cigar no baka** · 05-08-2006, 12:24 PM

People who drive way under the damn speed limit in school zones. I slow down to the limit every day in two school zones, the first one being 30mph and the second is 25mph. But low and behold, some assholes decide that 30 is too fast, and drive 20mph in the first one. The second one is not so bad, but some people still drive 20 or just shy of 20mph. I call them pace cars, since they're setting the pace for everyone and it's just too damn slow.

Also, people who park in handicapped spots. I know, someone else already said this one, but I sit in front of two handicapped spots in my office. I see people violating all day long and call the local PD to report them. I love it when the police actually show up in time to ticket them (rarely)!!!

People who park in the red zone while their spouse runs inside to do something. Hey asshole, you're blocking traffic, and the curb is RED so move your lame ass!!

People who drive big mothefucking battleships and park them in a "fuck you" way, taking up so much of their parking spot they're actually sticking out into one or both spots on either side of them essentially taking up two or three spots. Love to see that in a crowded parking lot.

People who accelerate so slowly they never even build up enough speed to hit the speed limit before the next red light. And they're always in front of me.

People who don't maintain their vehicles so they belch oil all over the place, or worse, break down and block traffic.

I had this very thing happen yesterday. The wife and I went to the local Home Depot to pick up a few gardening supplies. Upon our return, a numbnuts in a big honker pickup truck parks over the yellow line in such a way the wife couldn't get in the car, but at an angle so he could get out of his truck. To the right of the fucknuts is NOTHING - I MEAN NOTHING - no reason for him to park that way other than to be a total asswad...

I like to fuck up the mirrors on both sides of the truck - then the dipwad has to spend time fixing everthing...

yeah, I get mad fantasies about showing them some love but always end up muttering under my breath and just driving away.

I have been driving a semi truck with a mentor for a few weeks, so I haven't had much time to look at the site here, but you're going to love this one.

I was passing an entrance about a week ago and the guy entered the freeway in front of me while talking on his cellphone sans headset and LIGHTING A BOWL!!!!!!!

Yes, one of those kinds of bowls. Stupid mf-in douchearoo. I passed 3 cops at a speed trap a mile before the exit. Too bad my CB was broken or I would have given a holler.

**mauied1101** · 05-09-2006, 07:27 AM

Here's one straight in from this morning. Bicyclists on the roadway. Not the side area, but right there in front of you. In rush hour traffic.

**BigMacFU** · 05-09-2006, 07:39 AM

I'm a little late on this, but crotch rockets aren't safe period. Until you attach a real muffler onto those things and well, just get a harley, safety is nigh impossible, no matter how good the car drivers are around or the bike rider doing everything that is legal and safe. The fact is, Harley's were made loud not just because of the machismo, but because of the safety. Even if I check my blind spot a million times, a crotch rocket can sneak up unseen and legally line-ride to pass in many states, but I won't even know there's a motorcycle around because of its low-visibility and absence of noise until it's already passed me. That's why I hate crotch rockets, they're meant for race tracks, not open roads. Meanwhile, I can hear a harley, even a sportster 100-200 yards behind me and know there's a motorcycle somewhere I need to be careful of.

I hate to disagree with you, but a Crotch Rocket is as safe as the rider makes it!!! Just because so many stupid people ride sport bikes doesn't mean they should be banned!! Jeezuz, that's like the saying "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". Same goes "Bikes aren't unsafe, people are unsafe". If you have a right to bear arms, so should I have the right to ride a bike of choice. I also don't agree with the old saying "Loud pipes save lives". That's a poor justification to put "Illegal" (and they are) aftermarket pipes on bikes. I have 2 bikes, and stock pipes on both, with no intention to change.

Two nights ago, a guy was killed on the Expressway through Windsor, Ontario 20 kms from me. He was minding his own business and some woman made an illegal u-turn at one of those "Emergency Vehicle" turn places you see on highways. Poor bastard didn't stand a chance.

At highway speed you won't hear a motorcycle coming up behind you. Any more than you'll hear a horn.

The only reason Harley owners have loud pipes is to drive through quiet residential neighborhoods at 2 AM - pissing off all of the neighbors... Thanks for reminding me of another thing drivers do to piss me off...

Spot on Pal!!!

Not one to stick to just one genre, some of the pipes on Sport bikes can be annoying as well!!

**brian** · 05-09-2006, 11:35 AM

Not to be negative towards anyone's ideas or anything, but in my humble opinion I think that ALL motorcycles are unsafe in their own way. They should however not be out lawed,which I doubt anyone in a legislation anywhere on earth would suggest it. People should have the right to operate any motorvehicle they wish. But it would be much safer if everyone would just drive cars, at least there would be something protectiing the driver other than a helmet or leather.

If you get hit or wreck and hit something on any kind of motorcycle you stand a much greater chance of serious injury or death than you would in a car/truck etc...

I just thought I would let ya know what I think, everyone else was voicing an opinion.

BE SAFE EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DRIVE!!!

OK, if I'm out for a ride & (God forbid) I hit an SUV, I'm gonna be messed up real bad, possibly dead, right?? Hence the basis for your theory.

So, if you're out driving in your little sports car this afternoon, and you are unlucky enough to catch the front bumper of a Mack coming the other way, you gonna get fucked up pretty bad too, probably dead as well. Right?

So by that theory, we should all drive dump trucks and 18 wheelers, right???

Brian, you can do better than that!!!

**BigMacFU** · 05-09-2006, 01:10 PM

George, that's just not true, my Uncle and pops have Harley's and I hear those 100-200 yards behind, even with my music going on the highway.

And Newfie, chill out, wow. You act like I told you you couldn't ride. I was merely stating that crotch-rockets, no matter how safe the rider and car driver, are never going to be as safe as bikes you hear coming up on you. That's just a matter of simple sound waves and amplitudes. I never said you couldn't be a safe rider, I never said young punks are the only types riding crotch rockets. All I was pointing out is how big a difference the sound makes in safety, and how the size of crotch rockets can also lead to lower visibility than typical cruiser bikes.
