i would have done the exact same thing. there are some guys racing around changing lanes without turn signals and tailgating. i sometimes speed up and slow down real quick for those tailgaters to scare the $h!t out of them and i bet it works most of the time. i know if i can't see your headlights in my rear view mirror you are way to close to stop without hitting me if i have to slam on the brakes for some reason.

 

I hate people who do that , just tail gate you and as soon as they get a chance go flying by ya, even though your already going over the limit. I usually just let them go by, unless im on a one lane road in which case i go just at the speed limit and make them follow me for a while going my speed. Their rage amuses me.

 

My policy is to do whatever I can to get the stupid people in front of me. That way the only brake pedal that matters is the one in my truck.

 

I always have people tailgate me when im on my motorcycle like im driving my truck. That is something that really pisses me off. Im on a motorcycle not in a big vehicle

 

I hate it when the police are driving down the same stretch of road as you, cuz everyone else around is making sure they're going the friggin' speed limit.... Takes forever to get anywhere.

 

I can see your point, to a degree. If you need to go faster than 70 or so fine... whatever floats that boat.

This is what I do 99.9% of the time, you can see them grabbing the steering wheel and freekin out cuz their lead foot can't go. This time I felt like being a dick. I also have the V8 now and can attempt this now, i had the V6 before and it is very wimpy...

I can't do motorcycles, would love to, so bad. Other people on the road just scare the **** outta me...

 

on more occasion than than i would have like to see people would cross the solid yellow line just to pass me on a 2 lane road even though i am usually doing at least 10km/h over posted speed limit. i have even seen people do it on a snow covered road.

 

Yea I was worried about other people when I first started riding. But I've gotten over that fear cause most people around here actually notice you are on a bike and not in a car. Every once in a while you will get the ignorant person that wants to tailgate but an easy fix to that is just ride in a group or simply let them pass

 

Yeah I wish people werent such around bikes....bout the only thing on the road I give plenty of room to.... What pisses me off is when someone sees either a group of bikes or 2 together and cuts in between them.... Really you couldn't f^ckin tell they where together

 

Motorcycles are the safest vehicles on the road ... they out-corner, out-brake and out-accelerate everybody else, and have vastly superior avoidance abilities.

Yes, you can die on a motorcycle. You can die in a car or truck too, and you don't need to be the driver for bad things to happen.

But it takes skill ...not "special" skill in that only some people can learn it; anyone can ... to safely operate one. They are different and need to be operated differently than a 4-wheeler.

Like all driving skills ... fast car, 40-year old Cadillac, Hemi 1/2 ton, heavy truck, farm tractor, snowmobile, boat, quad, you name it ... they all add to your driving skill set because they all require different approaches to the road (or lack of road).

If you learn how to properly operate a motorcycle you will be a better driver in any vehicle because it is the most defensive and reactive driving skill set. They also teach you to pay attention to what the vehicle is telling you.

To me, a well-rounded driver can hop into or on anything and safely operate it in any weather with at least minimal visibility, in traffic, or in the middle of nowhere with nobody coming to help you if something goes wrong.
