...and another thing -
WATCH OUT FOR LEFT TURNERS !!!
You know, the clueless drivers that are doing the 100 yard stare right through you...as they turn left in front of you from a side street...
or they turn left in front of you from oncoming lanes.
They're like a bunch of Zombie drivers or something..brains, brains...they're missing their brains ! Worse yet, they're after mine  |
Lol......I have noticed the additional bonus to the zombie drivers.....when they turn left in front of me on my motorcycle, there is often a dent already on their right front fender or door. A legacy that seems to survive time's test. Now I only ride for pleasure, my first bike 25 years ago, I have been hit twice in similar scenarios once slid with the bike, once kept it up. I love the wind and it is difficult to give that up. I know several of you in this thread and I bet as a group others vehicles would both see and never forget us! Ha!
