So basically you're saying you have no regard for life or the well being of another human being when they make a bad decision that menially affects your life?

I have a spare helmet,if you dont mind looking gay for an hour a day for 5 days.I will let you ride on the back of my bike,in 5pm traffic.
We will take a big circle of Tampa.
Florida ave
MLK to the air port
vetrans to Hillsbourgh
Hillsbourgh back to DaleMaybry to Erlich.
You will see how it is to be on a bike.
Bikers are taught to watch them,and watch cars driving around them.
People in cars are basically taught to watch themselves,and whats in front of them.

So how is that anywhere near the same thing? I've NEVER seen a bike cut off a car in a dangerously close proximity. Any one on a bike who does that deserves to lay it down. They are obviously a squid.

Here's a Mercury insurance claim for you that my girlfriend told me who is a Mercury insurance agent. She got a claimed call from the ladies husband, since she blacked out. Witness's told the LEO what happened. Two motorcycles kept cutting her off, kept bumping her back bumper and breaking infront of her, knocking on her windows, doing wheelies along the side of the car. She ended up crashing into the bridges wall and she blacked out... she survived due to the car not falling. Witness's said the bikers laughed and went on.
So whats your point about people in cars not getting hurt by bikers. Even if they weren't taunting her, one of those stunts they pulled could of hurt her or anyone else in a car.

When you ride you know your bike is going to get hot, you know its hot outside. its not like the sun all of a sudden appears out of nowhere and makes the day hot. your in florida you know its going to be hot. I dont have any sympathy for you. Even then its no reason to break the law. My car doesnt have AC you dont see me riding on the sidewalk so i can keep moving when the light turns green do you?
10ft isnt a tight fit for any car, maybe a suv or something but a typical car no. And of course we are pointing out what bikes do, this is about bikes not cars. We know people in cars are jackass's. But you dont see threads poping up about respecting cars do you? You want special treatment, earn it. If the bike aint being a jackass ill respect them, but if they start driving one like they are in a car. then expect to be treated like your in a car.

my bike getting overheated isnt part of the reason i ride.
obviously you are a moron, who thinks that you can police the road. Are you in a squad car? NO then you shouldn't do shit. open your door in front of a biker, and i hope its me. your going to get one of the most brutal beat downs i can deliver with out killing you. i as do others carry weapons on bikes just for clowns like you. i swear the fact that you even in the guise of the internet can say crap like this is to me just retarded. you dont have the coconuts to do it and if you did i would feel really bad for what would happen to you. its not like bikers only have bikes. if i saw someone pull a stunt like that while i was in my car your still getting the piss beat out of you.
stick to your no a/c having shitbox car. you are one person on this planet if i saw flipped up side down in your burning car i would just drive/ride by.
this thread is going into bike tech and frankly i would imagine you just dug a hole for your self. i think every biker on TR is going to be looking for a gay ass RX7. dont be suprised if your mirrors get kicked off.
i dont expect your respect. i just want you to look twice before you change lanes. cause maybe if you didnt see a biker the first time doesnt mean he/shes not there. its amazing how poeple can see bikes or cars. so i drive my bike accordingly. i know this much you will see me when im right next to you with my baton swinging like barry bonds at your rear view mirrior.
its dickheads like you that keep the anmosity between cars and bikes.
trying to keep this drama free put its clowns like you that fuel my fire. the fact of the matter is if everyone paid attention to the fucking road we would have to worry about who seeing who.
and cryptic your point is taken, but you argument is one thats just not popular because most people know that it is curtious to at least be aware when there is a biker around. respect isn't maybe the best term to be used.

Not to mention when i sitting at a redlight i dont watch for something comming between me and another car beside me. Why should i have too?
I think you will have a diffrent out look at this if you rode a bike.

All this bike talk is baby talk in the states. I was watching this special on biker paramedics over in England. You guys should see the kind of stuntman moves those guys have to pull off just to get to the scene of the accident. The amount of traffic is just terror along with the size of those narrow streets! Im just glad our streets and traffic arnt as bad as theirs or there would be about 50% more bikers dead, especially paramedics.

I know a few people that drive a motorcycle and aren't license to drive one. So not all motorcyclist know the rules of the road. Not all motorcyclist are license legally to drive one. Some haven't even taken the class not even a course. They just learn how to drive one and then from there they buy one and thats it.

He got mad because he got cut off, just like someone in a car would get if they got cut off like that from a bike. Unfortunately you've never seen a bike do that... and I find it hard to believe unless you were just born this year. In all the years of my life, in every year I've been living I've seen this happen atleast once a week.

Bikes have a much thinner "Safe Zone" then cars do. Perhaps in your perception the bike cut someone off. I've seen bikes fit into some tight spots, hell sometimes it's necessary to make some evasive maneuvers in order to save your ass.
As to your story about the bikers... There's a couple things wrong here. 1.) This is OBVIOUSLY not the normal attitude or behaviour of anyone on a motorcycle. These individuals are unstable, disturbed, and should not be allowed on the road in a car, let alone a motorcycle. The good news here is that natural selection will kick in eventually with these pieces of shit. 2.) The lady blacked out. She obviously should not have been behind the wheel in the first place. 3.) How did witnesses see the bikers laughing? - Now I don't know the whole story here, and I would imagine you don't either, but this sounds fishy. Unless these guys didn't have helmets on, they stopped, AND the witnesses were very near by the bikers, there is just no way to tell if someone is laughing inside of a helmet from several feet away above 30mph
. At best, the witnesses were guessing, or filling in their "own" creative details.
