What Goes Through A Biker’s Head When You Try And Kill Him

I like his note in comments: “An important note: lane splitting is expressly legal in California, where I live, and in the rest of the world outside those 49 freedom-hating states. “
 
great read. my fav "Thought Eighteen: "Let's see. 100 HP and 400 Lbs or 160 HP and 4,000 Lbs. Who's going to win this race?"
 
I like:

"Oh look, he's getting out of his car. Do you think he realizes I'm wearing head-to-toe body armor and the carbon fiber equivalent of brass knuckles?"

reminds me of the time the cabbie got out of the car in front of the ACC ( he grazed my leg when I am sitting on my bike and I punched his window - how it all started )
 
Ha, his scenario reminds me of a situation I had in Bancroft. 2 fat guys, little blue car. I used my size advantage to skip a line getting out of the tims parking lot. Everyone was waiting for a guy to turn left to exit the lot but couldn't due to traffic, I was going right and had space so cut in front of blue car sitting there in line. Made my right turn before the guy up front could. Had blue car tailgate me (maybe 2 feet from my bumper). They did this for blocks, despite me speeding to 90 in a 50 to get space they just caught up again when I did 50. They did this for a couple blocks flashing and honking. Eventually they get beside me, fat dude is yelling... And asks if I want to settle it. So I give a thumbs up and pull over... They didn't stop.

I like my new a-star gloves with the carbon knuckles.

Damn I appreciated reading that. I wish more riders would assert their space and we wouldn't have as many cages mindlessly squeezing us. Even if 1% more of these ******** just gave it a second thought, we'd all be safer. "Geez...I better wait..the last guy I squeezed almost broke my window. Deep down I don't blame him."

Ok, ok the last part is purely wishful thinking, but you get the idea.
 
Should add:

"Yeah, you'd better run, malaka."

"3-series, eh? How does your wife feel about you driving her car that way?"

If there is nobody behind me, hammering the engine in neutral for a few seconds when the light goes green is really funny when the guy squeals out of the intersection only to find there is nobody racing him. Hoo! Psyyyyche!

Haha - easy there, tiger! My cage is 3-series and I love it. Just wanted to point out that not every bimmer driver is a d bag, that's all :-)
 
brilliant:

Thought Nineteen: "Wouldn't it be nice if cops wrote tickets for bad driving instead of just speeding? That way, the roads might actually be safe and stuff."

thats toronto 100%

and really like:

Thought Four: "Oh look, he's getting out of his car. Do you think he realizes I'm wearing head-to-toe body armor and the carbon fiber equivalent of brass knuckles?"

Actually got to use that line once, "You do realize that you're trying to pick a fight with someone ten years younger than you in full body armour, right?" to a 50-something, beer-baby carrying, knuckle-dragging, trucker hat wearing Mensa candidate.

Indeed. I have friends with bmw's, even 3-series'. I would even drive one. Thing is, almost every guy with a 3 really wants a 5, and you can always get their goat about it. :) It doesn't change though, since the guy with a Maserati really wants a Scaglietti, and the guy with the Gallardo wants a Veyron, and the guy with the Veyron just wants friends.

I am as guilty of vanity as anyone, it's just funny to rile people about it because it's sensitive.

I love pretty much every bimmer and if I were to get 5 series - has to be e39 body. In reality - I don't want one. Mine is perfect in size, feel, controls, etc. And it is not even 330 (e46) - mine is 325 and it is a wagon. I did not buy it cause it is considered luxury ,by some people, vanity car, etc - I bought it cause I loved it, from the first sight!
