Decided a long time ago that everything is out to get me including the bike I'm riding, so I look out for everything and then I look for more
Hi Terry, now Diesel has opened Pandoras box here.
We all have things that annoy us on the road, but this thread might define what will kill us.
+1 for your comment
I ride to enjoy my existense here on this planet. I acknowledge that there are others who might unknowingly terminate my enjoyment, hence your words echo with mine.
I WILL break the speed limit/ overtake in a double white line zone/ and do certain other things that to ..some others.. might seem totally reckless and irresponsible, by "Their rules".
I have done this for a total of near 40 years.
I always offer a wave to anyone I might overtake, especially a bike aware motorist and yes you can pick them.
I try to Never scare older drivers ( or any road user for that matter, but especially older folk who are just trying to get around), because we as motorcyclists are far more manouvorable and faster than the average tin top...or for that matter, what the tin top pilot is aware of.
In a sentence, I ride to survive, and I no longer blame anyone but myself for any incident or near miss.
There was/ is a saying out there that allows a certain degree of manouverability with all of this. "treat every other road user as if they are intent on hurting you"
I just acknolowedge this and keep growing my road skills.
Now keep the black stuff under ya and have a great ride
Cheers
Carrelli
