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...
And I bet most of those are CARS. Car drivers can be some of the most obnoxious people on the road (I should know, I are one). If it's not the slowpokes acting as though they're the only ones on the road, it's the tailgaters riding your ass.
True that. In the cities I always find a bike ride calming as you don't get stuck in traffic and if you do, in a car when you are stuck, you are STUCK, you can only move forward if the other guy moves, on a bike you can wiggle about, go between cars, go back, sideways, even (heheh) cross a sidewalk to get out of a jam.
And that's true for motorbikes too.
