Thats it? that is what You have for Me? You simple minded retard! Of all that I stated in my posts, You failed to understand a single word of it, ignore all of it, and then You come up with "drivers like you that don't pay attention and kill people" Did it occure to You (of course not, You have a simple little mind) that these riders might just be killing themselves, Oooooo, I got a loud bike, of course everybody can hear Me, so I don't have to worry about someone, ahhh son of a b..., crash! For Your information retard, I constantly check My mirrors, don't matter if I plan to change lanes or not. I like to know whats going on around Me, I like to know whats coming up behind Me before it gets next to Me. Particularly if it is a cop, because I often find Myself driving 10-15mph over. I take driving very seriously. I started driving go-karts when I was 8-9 years old. From age 16 to mid 30's I spent more time driving just for the sake of driving and getting more proficiant at it, than most people have spent wathching TV in that amount of time. I did not watch TV then, I drove, 2-5 hours a day for an average of 4-5 days a week. That is roughly 15,600 hours devoted to being the best driver I can be. In that time , I did not have a single crash. I stopped doing that because I was getting too many tickets. Since then, about 4 years ago some other retard pulled directly in front of Me and slammed His brakes from 35-40mph to a full stop. I did hit Him. I am also quite sure He did it on purpose to collect insurance money, he had no other reason to brake that hard. You got no idea what You are talking about. I have rode bikes, off and on the road. The only close call I had on a road bike was coming around a S-curve on a 3 lane expressway and a truck was parked in the center lane. The driver was trying to retrieve His 2 wheel truck cart, I was in the center lane. I missed Him. When on a bike, I drove where people could see Me. So take Your mindless comments and go away.

Furthermore, MPweasel, since you DIDN'T bother to read the posts, you also didn't see where FACT, NOT OPINION: I have had one time in hundreds that I EVER heard a bike while driving my work truck before I saw him - and that idiot was CAMPED OUT in my blind spot, for who knows how long, before I noticed him.

I seldom watch SP, but scrolled past it just as the boys were discussing why some bikers have loud pipes.

And they nailed it. Kudos to SP. Smile
