The things you wish cages knew about motorcycles
What are they?
A few of mine:
1) Don't climb up my *** at a stop.
2) Don't shave my rear tire off while passing
3) Don't think you can win a fist fight with a guy whos wearing a helmet
(j/k)
4) Use your EYES they were put there for a reason!
5) Crouching is not "just for show".
6) Were vulnerable, yield even if we make a boneheaded mistake otherwise we're gonners
7) Just because we go fast does not mean we are inviting you to "a race".
I'm sure you can think of more...

i like riders and am one occasionally but there is one thing i wish RIDERs new about CAGES:
the white dotted lines on roads are not for motorcycles to ride on. use a damn lane not the space in between or youre gonna be the meat in a cage sandwich one day.

Where do you live? In Cali that's the scooter lane.

im talking about your regular road, no special lanes. There have been many occasions where I see riders going between lanes, in other words following the white stripes. Once i was passed by 4 bikes all carrying passengers at over 65mph on a pretty busy 4 lane road, with all 4 bikes squeezing between lanes. Im not angry, i just dont want to scrape their guts off of my windshield later
and i make certain to follow #4 and #6

how about use your mirrors . dont through out your lit marlboro while a bike is behind you, road race gloves will hurt your face when i hit you. I enjoy kicking off your mirror when you run me off the road.

actually negative, if used properly, the lane cutting is both legal and safer. It puts at the front of the line where people have already come to a stop so we dotn get rearended by some idiot mom in her SUV who isnt paying attention. I dont use it to progress through traffic(well i cant say never) but i do use it so i dont get rear ended. Much safer IMO when do and used properly. Stop signs are actually the number one place where bikes get hit. With the classic. I didnt see him there words coming from the drivers mouth.

i believe it is legal in Cali, but i really dont care because soccer moms drive up my *** in a car, so there is no way Im goign to let them do it while im on my bike. I hate crawling under my car to do the oil. Id hate to be there in a panic situation.
Not to cut a bike off when you are making a turn. I guess the mentality of cages is that their car is more durable than a bike so we should yield to them. I learned that lesson the hard way today, layed the bike down to avoid t-boning a car. Guess who didnt have the right of way???? The cage that took off as my bike lay on the ground all scuffed up.

1. dont tail gate me
2. dont flick me off when your gf's waving at me and im waving back
3. don't **** me off, you wont like the feeling of carbon fiber knuckles against your jaw. And plus i have a helmet on. :D
4. don't try to be an *** and block me off when im putt-putting along on the dotted white line during traffic. Lane Splitting is LEGAL in california.
5. Stand up Wheelies were not meant to impress you or the people around you. It is simply a mean for us to see around that big stupid ugly *** Expedition/Navigator/Escalade/Denauli piece of shiet SUV thats blocking vision of the road, and sucking up petro at an astonishing rate.
6. If you change lane accidentally into our lane while we are still in it, and we let you know with a honk, dont flick us off when it is your fault. It only serves to get your mirror taken off.
7. If we are speeding and you attempt to race us, dont get made when you lose.
8. If you are a cute chick and you wanna ride, signal with the appropriate hand gesture ( pointing at me, pointing at urself, and then point at my backseat)
9. If you are a FAT Chick and u wanna ride, do not be upset if we ride off quick as lightning. We are only trying to get to the shop to reinforce the subframe so it can take your 300lbs *** and not bend.
10. And finally, If you are a fellow ride in a cage and you see a group of guys riding down the freeway, let them know you care and give them a wave.
1. Don't cut in front of a group at 70 mph on a crowded freeway. We will trap you and slow down to 20mph. Then take off your mirrors.
2. If my bike is taking up an "entire" parking spot don't think you can back your SUV into it. We pay registration fees and taxes too. And if you knock the bike down don't mind me keying your car.
3. I lane split because I can.
4. Our high beams are on during the day because you can't see us with our low beams.
5. Yes, I put the bike in neutral at a light, don't honk at me because I have to shift.
6. It takes me three seconds to stop the bike, put the side stand down and walk up to your door. Make a note of that before doing anything stupid.

these are the most dangerous drivers on the road (for Motorcyclists).In Texas you go to jail if you kill a motorcyclist
Funny how they have to use threats to make people treat you like a human being.

You sound harleyish.
YES!!! LANE SPLITTING IS LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA DAMN IT...I wish theyde stick that in the news or something . I hate all these morons in cages who just because they have to sit in traffic think that gives em the right to try and knock over some guy on a bike because he's smart and can split lanes. Don't they know they're messing with lives when they do that.!
