"WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES"

"WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES"

Now to some of you with Cars, this sign means nothing to you, but to us who've been up and riding for years now, this sign makes perfect sense, fact is, I wish I had one of these signs on my forehead this morning, as the delivery Van that decided I was far enough away to pull right out infront of me while I was doing a comfortable 45 miles per hour, this dumb jerk decides not only to hesitate before pulling right out infront of me, but he waits it out until I'm right ontop of him, to pull out, which made me stop at 45 miles per hour a little difficult and we almost tagged him.

Now to top this whole incedent off, this dumbass has his window down, which I pulled right up on the drivers side left rear of the van, and said out loud , how about now "Jerk Face", can you see that there is a running motorcycle behind you and the fact that you almost killed my wife and I for your dumbass stunt back there?
He just mumbled something, which got me even more pissed off, which  just as the light turned, he moved slightly to the right, as to let me pass, so I did, when I did he was sitting there with his "Number 1 Finger Up at me", I felt like stopping and getting off my bike and grabbing that finger and breaking it off for his dumbass, but I decided that another trip to the Jail for Road Rage was not going to happen, so I just smiled and waived my finger right back at him.

Some people? alomst hits and kills us, then blames us, like were the ones at fault for riding a bike in the first place.

Well I've about had enough of that stereo typical behavior, that people see me as a threat while on the road, let me tell you something, if you were stopped and broke down for any reason, I'd stop for you, if you were injured and laying on the road, I'd stop for you, Change a tire? no problem, I'd stop for you.
I ride a Motorcycle, because I CAN! besides with "Gas" prices sky rocketing, why am I the only one who knows that riding a motorcycle saves you a ton on gas, why in fact mine gets 51 miles to the gallon, so that's a lot of fun and  way more miles then a car ever will get, this is the reason that this kind of behavior on the road suprises even me? as I'd figure more people would want to save the money and get one of these things too?
Just as I start thinking that way , I'm proven wrong again.
Not even Snow Bird Season Yet and my bike gets crunched, and we almost get taken out this morning on the ride in? what a shame, not good when things start off like this, not good at all.
People Please pay attention, put the coffee mug down, put the cell phone on hold, don't text , don't eat and drive your **cking Cars already.
I see so many people everyday I'm out there on my Bike, Eating, Drinking, Putting on Make up and chatting away on their cell phones, what ever happened to pay attention and drive? So many destractions these days, all's I can say is ,
"PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES" Give us a break already will ya?

Make It A Great Day!
