Yeah but its every day I have truckers on my tail (doing 80mph), cutting me off with no signal, running in the left lane for no perceptable reason, and weaving left in an
attempt to cut me off in the merge. Since I'm on a motorcycle, they don't see me half the time. The other half
they are trying to crush me.

I say put them all on flat cars.

I commute on a bike some years up to 15,000 miles (7 month riding season). I've learned that as a motorcyclist, WE must be the aggressor. If traffic is doing 55... you do 57. If traffic is doing 75, you do 77. That constant 2 - 3 miles per hour of faster traveling speed puts you in the riders seat. Most bikers I see bumbling along with the flow of traffic appear as targets. If you're the guy overtaking others, you're a lot less likely to be cut off.

Just my opinion.

Dude, you are one crazy hombre riding a motorcycle on the freeway everyday!
It must take you an hour to come down from the adrenaline rush - just from staying aware!
Stay safe out there.
