(subtitled -- "Yeah, I'm bad, and I've got streamers!!!")

OMG Bud, you noticed.... Shocked

I can't help myself. I just want to ask these dummies if they have anyone at home who loves them; because if they have a crash they more than likely won't survive. I do it when I'm by myself too, even out in the middle of know where.

Yes, I'm not too bright, but if I can positively affect just one rider, I'll be happy.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. My other pet peeve about motorcycle riders is how close so many of them seem to pass me. It's always been a pet peeve of motorcycle riders about how cars pass too close to them instead of changing lanes, and yet here they are, doing the same thing to us! What's up with that?
