Especially since most motorcyclists don't believe the rules of the road and speed limits apply to them.
people in cars can be oblvious to a motorcycle, thinking that somehow being in a car means everyone else shouldn't be there...
motorcyclists pay taxes and they buy insurance...they have just as much right as any car or truck...
the real problem?....TOO MANY CARS AND TRUCKS....
we'd solve our energy problem easily if more people drove motorcycles/mopeds or rode a bicyle for in town trips....
btw, I don't have a motorcycle....but my husband has his whole life....he's quick to condemn poor drivers whether they be in a car or on a cycle...
There are bikers, and then there are Bikers. The types of riders you're referring to, are normally what we call crotch rocket jockeys, i.e., sport bike riders.
The other half of the riding world are what we call 'cruisers'. These are your big V-twin type riders (think Harley). There is significantly less of what you're complaining about, in that sector of the riding community.
