Years ago I used to date a biker. She taught me a lot; some things that any cougar will teach a young gentleman and quite a bit about bikes and their culture. Because of her, I'm not leery of bikers in the least. In numerous clubs (and just in the street) I've walked up to a group of bikers and started admiring their bikes.
I've also noticed that a fair number of my fb friends are weekend bikers and they will often post something about sharing the road. I ride a bicycle and believe me, I understand about sharing the road.
And then you see some young punk on the road doing something that only a dumbass would do. Today I driving home, going about 50, and a motorcycle passes me. Then they pass the person ahead of me. The dumb part was the double yellow line he had to cross twice and the fact that he didn't know what was on the other side of that hill.
I don't mind sharing the road but when someone, that's a dumbass, considers themselves to be immune to common sense and consequences then it's a little hard to have any sympathy for them.
