I'm really annoyed right now. I got into an e-mail discussion with a co-worker regarding riding motorcycles. Here's a little taste of her views:

If you want to race down the road at 60-70 mph virtually unprotected… weaving in and out of traffic that’s fine. But when you cause an accident, don’t complain to me about your headache… since I’m sure a helmet would have cramped your style too much…. When you hit a patch of dirt, gravel, sand or dust on the road and fall over sliding into other traffic, don’t complain to me about the way my SUV tires feel on your back.… When a bug flies into your eye and you hit the curb… don’t complain when the guy in the SUV behind you runs over your ass and doesn’t even feel it…. IT IS your personal right to put yourself in harms way, cause this is America after all, but don’t blame me and start going after my pocketbook when you get hurt. Had you been in an enclosed vehicle, the dust on the road probably wouldn’t have affected you, you wouldn’t be weaving in and out of places you don’t belong just because “you can”, and bugs wouldn’t fly in your eyes… AND you would have been required by LAW to have a seatbelt on, so even if you do wreck, you still would have been safe.

Geez. We've got a long way to go before we change the attitudes of these folks. Scary eh? Who gave her this opinion of motorcylists?

Just a couple of comments.

You have to be careful when giving 'Max advice here on how to procedd.

One question is... Does this co-worker look good and there is a possibility of banging her.

If not then follow your own advice and shoot her.

Also one thing I've notice is that children in the back of SUVs typically love motorcycles and stop what ever they are doing to watch me go by. It could be my Power Ranger looking leathers but I don't think so.

Damn college girls and cell phones. Shoot them too.

Is splitting lanes legal in Texas?

A little tangent here... why can't Ohio drivers understand that the left lane is for passing... if you're not passing stay out of the left lane.

BTW, The big SUVs are not as deadly as motorcycles, they are WAY MORE DEADLY.

Nobody rides on the back of the RC-51, no dudes, no chicks(if clothed and over 18 yrs old).

RC John,

I thought RC-51's were only "1 seater's" anyway?

No, they actually have a passenger seat but mine will never see the light of day. It is currently in the closet in my spare bedroom.
