Apologies scarecrow if I seem rude. I and others just can’t agree with some of your opinions.
We have to make the world a bettter place with better characters of people than those you mention.
scarecrow “I have seen your anti-bike posting before so am not surprised at your comment.“
That’s ridiculous!
I am not pro or anti bikers.
I could care less as long as everybody acts like they have sense.
Your remarks are ridiculous.
OK, i will tell you what kind of driver i am. I managed to drive commercial vehicles of all types, up to 11 axles and 160,000 pounds for 35 years with out hurting anyone. 3 and 1/2 million miles. I have probably backed up farther than you have driven forward. You need not worry about ME running over YOU. I do ride a motorcycle at 73 and manage to do that also. I have seen your anti-bike posting before so am not surprised at your comment.MY comments are based on years of observation of all types of drivers in all types of terrain and weather. Take off the dark glasses ans observe the terrible driving of many drivers on the roadways today.
Scarecrow, that is totally ridiculous. You may be the type of driver you are speaking of, but I really know of no one with that careless type of attitude. I hope I see you coming!
or maybe it was dark and a motocyclist goin 130+ hit a big astro van goin 70mph??? at 2 o clock in the mornin so yeah… talk about what u know and not what u think.
Must be more to it than that. People frequently take the right of way from a motorcycle. There are many reasons for this, first alibi is, “I did not see him”. This is probably true in many cases, however it is not uncommon for a auto or larger vehicle to show aggression toward the smaller vehicle [motorcycle].Why? could be some see it as a safe way to “show him up”. A motorcyclist must ride as if everyone else on the road is out to get him, if he wishes to remain among the living.
