I suspect this guy rides a sport bike.....whether or not, those idiots are a menace.

There’s a reason they’re called “organ donors”.....and if this guy was in fact on a sport bike it’s a perfect example as to why.

I used to wheelie on my Ducatis.

I still do... but I used to, too.

There are jackasses on all types of bikes from rice-burners to Harleys. (just as yes, there are jackasses in cars on the road too)

I was driving up to a beach in my area back in September, and on the way up on the main two lane road going into it, with a speed limit of 40 mph, I had a group of six motorcycles overtake me doing at least 60, they came up behind me, then went around me simultaneously, three of them on my driver side (and threading through the oncoming cars!) and the other three went by me in the narrow breakdown lane.

Then, when in front of me, one of them popped a wheelie, then another one. What stuck out to me was one of the riders wearing a full black body suit with a skeleton on it, and a helmet that looked like a skull.

I was glad I had seen them coming up behind me, because if I had swerved slightly to the breakdown lane on the right to avoid them or give them room not to head-on the oncoming lane (and possibly embroil ME in their fatal accident) I would have definitely hit the ones that decided to pass me on the right.

I came up behind them at the next stop light, all six of them grouped together, and I could only shake my head. Effing stupid and crazy, all looked like guys in their mid-twenties, and the skeleton outfit guy with long blond hair streaming out the back.

At the beach, I parallel parked on the main road, and as I walked towards the main part of the beach, I passed the group of those bikers parked, sitting on their bikes.

Mister Skeleton was sitting there, and when I passed, it was a beautiful young blonde girl, not a guy. I know I am a dinosaur on this, but...I still expect young women to have more common sense than young guys. But now, in today’s society, they have license to be just as much of a jackass as any young guy, and that is saying something, having once been a young guy.

I thought of how sad it would have been to see that beautiful, attractive young girl smeared along a road, just because she had to show the guys she could be as much of a jackass as they could be.

One of the guys looked at me when I passed, perhaps he recalled seeing my military ball cap I wore in the car when they passed, and he nodded and said “Hello”. I nodded back, but decided not to stop and lecture them. Wouldn’t have done any good, I suspect.

This isn’t a screed against bikers, but it is a screed against jackasses!
