mmmmmmmmmmmmmost of this reads like it’s the motorcycles that are swarming...instead of the motorcyclists. Creates an odd image in my head...but there were plenty of odd images in there anyway so.....

Well, that lets out the Harley crowd. :P

Al Gore says that this is a direct result of Global Warming.

The day a motorcycle “forces” me off the road is the day I turn in my physics-knowledge card.

I think someone doesn’t know how to count. 1000 motorcycles on an interstate would be a pack 3-5 miles long.

Fun, aren't they. I ran into this in the Black Hills last month during the Sturges Bike Rally. Most of them are decent folks on the ground, but when they swarm up and storm down the highways, they are a f*ing PIA.

Sounds just like what happened here last month. (Sturgis Rally)

..and forcing cars off the roadway.

It doesn't quite have to be this way. You see, most folks are in 4-wheel vehicles that weigh 3,000 lbs and up. So when a motorcycle starts to force me off the highway, well, I could just keep going straight. The car (or truck) will win every time.

I don't think a motorcycle could force my car off the road. I could see ending up with a flat tire or two from sharp edges. THUNK thunk.

I was driving down a freeway around 3am doing about 85, only vehicle in sight. From behind came a pack of 6-8, widely separated go-fast bikes, easily running 130. They were separated enough and having obvious fun.

I didn’t have a real problem with it given the conditions and time of night. Close packs during daytime traffic-stupid.

Note to bikers: My car will ALWAYS win. Always. Act appropriately.

The reports started coming in around 2 p.m. from various spots on I-270 and I-70, most recently in the north St. Louis county area.

That's where Eric Holder's people live!
