I'm a motorcycle rider. Well, not so much now that I'm a dad. I have NEVER ridden without my helmet, and I try to do anything and everything possible to make sure everyone sees me. Joe @ IrrationalDads last blog post..Tyler’s love of the B.S.

My husband has a saying…Loud Pipes Save Lives. That is why when I get my license and my motorcycle it will have loud pipes.

There are bad motorcyclist just like there are bad car drivers. Because motorcyclist are a lot more vulnerable than car drivers it is up to the drivers to be a lot more cautious.

I have similar issues with bikers. Like, people on bikes. Maybe "Cyclist" is the proper term. They take advantage of the car rules when it's convinient, and then the pedestrian rules when that works better for them. urgggh. makes me so mad. Pick one! Damn you!

Agreed! I ride on the back of my dad's motorcycles (the lovely quiet kind!!) and those other idiots give the safe riders a bad name! Reagans last blog post..Snow Rollas

I think crotch rocket IS the proper term, much like chopper for the Harley-types.

We get a lot of cyclists (it’s Lance Armstrong’s hometown, too) that piss me off. If you’re on the road, you need to obey traffic laws. ESPECIALLY traffic lights. Just because you don’t have a motor doesn’t mean you have leave to run red lights. Seriously, peoples.

My husband takes motorcycle safety seriously. He took the course before he even licensed his first one. We both get annoyed when we see Derfwad on the road, too! (And it’s amazing how he’s in IN and IL at the same time!) My dear heart bought another motorcycle when I was pregnant the first time. Because of the timing, I have yet to take a ride on it with him (the joys of having two lil ones). I named it Roxanne (and sing “Turn on the RED BIKE” like Sting would…totally annoyingly), and that just did not thrill him! (I suppose it’s a bit emasculating?! LOL)

Strangely enough, I don’t mind them when they share the road with me – perhaps because I haven’t encountered many jerkish ones lately – but I HATE the insanely loud noise they make riding down my street at dinnertime.

Ugh!
