I can see this thread is going to probably take off.

It's our responsibility as motorcyclists to "be responsible" for all those jackwagons out there. There is such a thing as being DEAD RIGHT.

I think the same thing. I can't tell you how many people will walk right out into traffic without taking their eyes off the cell phone in their hand. On the one hand, I get it, pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way and traffic is supposed to stop for them. On the other hand, how much consolation is having the right of way going to be to that distracted pedestrian or their family when they get run over by a similarly distracted driver? People are so hung up on their 'Right' to drive, that they don't take it seriously. Ask any high school kid with a beat up, ragged out Honda about their driving skills and how stupid speed limits are for 'free spirits' like him and you'll quickly see what I mean...

I know I will catch heat for this. Please at least do the speed limit. If your not in a hurry, dont pull out in front of me. You never know where the other person is going. I was on the way to the hospital and every slow a$$ in the world got in front of me. Got there in time to tell my dad goodbye but it was too close. Just keep this in mind when someone is riding too close. If your not in a hurry, just pull over and let them go. I do.

I do this more and more these days,...just let em go ahead.

Few months back was in Colorado coming back from vacation and missed an opportunity to let a busted geo tracker pass me. Guy decides to cross double yellow to go around me, 18 wheeler coming in the opposite lane who is honking and has nowhere to go. I'm thinking this dude's going to head on into the 18 wheeler!

I'm hugging the edge of the pavement trying to give this guy some room who seems bar none to stop. He lags back a bit as the 18 wheeler roars past and then tries again! Another car is coming and he's right over the yellow. I brake and let him go. It turns out to be a white haired old lady! wtf
