Such anti-motorcyclist tempers flaring here! Temper, temper! Don't burst a gasket over it.

There’s always exceptions. Just like hitting a deer or a dog. Usually they go under or up and over. But sometimes they go into a window and take your head off. The thing is, a motorcyclists is a much better driver than people that don’t ride. When a bike and a car collide, 9 times out of 10 it is the car’s fault. Bikers generally don’t make many mistakes.

There are so many falsehoods in your post

They appear to be from misapprenensions and ignorance rather than being lies. Actually an Aspencade at 90mph is rather like an artillery shell when it hits a small car that might not weigh much more than the bike. I put 20k-30k miles on bikes for 26 years before I had to get off and I know well that a motorcycle can be deadly to people in cars.

You’re a real bright boy.

Pissing off those who are wrapped in steel.

You wonder why so many aholes cut off bikers?

It’s because of jackasses like you who defend stupid kids risking their own lives and the lives of other people who are just trying to get home.

Real bright boy you are.

I know a lot of bikers die. I’ve buried enough biker friends to know that.

But stupid punk kids racing at over 100 MPH is a completely separate story.

And then going back and laughing at someone who crashes preserving their life?

I don’t know how any scumbag can defend that action.

You seem to have a lot of self control issues.

Slinging insults again, eh?

Someone present another fact to you that you just can’t digest?

You should probably just avoid the internet.

I prefer to refer to them as ‘future organ donors’.

As a retired cop, I wholeheartedly agree with you. My rule was to never (almost) chase a motorcycle.

The only thing worse than a-hole bikers on a death wish is pursuit. Clock em’ with photos, and pay them a visit @ 5AM.

“BTW, a speeding motorcycle can’t hurt anyone inside a car. They are (mostly) only a danger to themselves.”

Wrong, velocity will overcome mass. I have seen some horific crashes involving donor cycles and vehicles.

If you get the tag# and speed, that should be enough to say hello.

I often see a couple on a sport bike, sneakers, cutoffs, tanktops no helmets...and then he pulls a wheelie in traffic or on the highway.

Tell me how these types are not morons.

not legally enough.

no face in the control. You need a “wheel witness”.

You might put together a circumstantial case based on design of the full face helmet via possession but you still have reasonable doubt.
