    Agree. I like the way you think. I drive faster than a lot of people and if I pass I’m most certainly not going to slow them down but I don’t think I should pass on the right or cut in front of them. Wait your turn. Agree often motorcycle riders expect special treatment and then break the rules when it benefits them.

      I got my motorcycle license in Cali where it is legal, and I do agree with it, when don't properly. 5-10mph faster than the flow of traffic (parking lot speed) when traffic is under I think 35 is what we were taught.

      I sold my bike and quit riding here in Texas after almost getting run off the road 3 times by inattentive drivers.

      As to the overheating thing, on a trip from Cali to Texas in September I got caught behind a traffic accident where a semi caught fire. Me wearing all black leather on an aircooled bike in the desert your **** right I split that stopped traffic the whole way at an easy 10mph so I wouldn't die of heat exhaustion.

Sad to read that you're just ok with people acting like that because you too were a ****** at one time.

              Can you explain that to the arrogant left lane drivers that tailgate when I'm not passing someone fast enough?

                If you can fit through in a sports car, go right ahead!

                I do see what you mean by respect but I guess I just don't see it as that disrespectful from my point of view.

                If I met you Jeff, you would see that I am a very kind person and respectful as I was raised that way. I just don't see this issue as a big one.

                  Is it disrespectful when I’m sitting in traffic and starting to drown in my tobacco juice and spit out the window when sommeone is lane splitting? This happened to me in Leander and the guy stopped but then came to his senses quickly. I guess if your gonna lane split around me get a helmet with windshield wipers

That's LIFE THREATENING to us bikers!!

                      This is so true. We just came back from a 3200 mile ride. It doesn't matter what state. Almost every car we pass, the driver is on their phone. It's terrifying. I do not like riding in the city at all, but it is unavoidable.

                        You could get in a car or truck like most people. That way when some idiot hits you it won't be as bad.

                        I have a hunch stupid people will be around for a long time.

                            I agree 100%. Bikers talk about sharing the road, but lots of them think they own the road.
