Angry I almost hit a bike today!

I get off work early, put the vert down and head home. I am on US 19 and it is bumper to bumper traffic, when I notice a guy on a baby blue Busa almost slam into the truck in front of him. I am in the most left lane, he is in the middle lane. Light turns green and I am thinking to myself I better pay attention to this fool because he isn't watching what he is doing. Sure enough I catch him in my rear view dragging his feet, letting the truck in front of him get ahead by a good 100 feet. I hear his bike and I know what he is about to do...bam a wheelie. He brings the bike down and he loses it, I knew the way he brought it down he was in trouble, he starts heading in my lane with MAJOR tank slap going on. I hit the breaks and squeal to a stop. Thank God, he ended up in my lane and didn't go down. All I keep thinking is this dude is lucky as hell I ride and pay attention to bikes. What a fucking idiot!

+1 , Most riders always have a better sense of caution on the road...Being alert on 2 wheels , allows us to be more alert then most drivers on 4 wheels with less effort... Nicely done ..way to be looking out... But i agree with Nath , have a Baseball or soemthing to remind them that their an idiot...

Something tells me that this Squid's close call won't be a "wake up" call and if he doesn't go down tomorrow, it will likely be the next day

You skipped that all important English class, didn't you?
He can ride a garment made from wool?
BTW your sig should read "stop posting old shit" not shits, shits is something you get after eating at Taco Hell.
