This weekend while suffering the long line through a toll I witnessed something I've witnessed numerous times before. A pack of about 4 of those japanese import motorcycles speeding down the centerlane of slow moving traffic and lost sight of them. I can only assume that they forced their way into and through the toll to go about their day. But this is not the first time I've witnessed this type of...cheating! The motorcycle drivers who weave in and out of traffic like they were Trinity in the Matrix. The sort of dangerous behavior that involves the rest of us either getting hurt or killed or even witnessing this moron kill themselves. I know there is an attraction to living dangerously but come on...why don't you just drive into a brick wall and get it over with. Belive me all it would take is for me to open my door as they drove down the center lane and "BAM" they'd be dead and I'd be out a door.

i've ridden bikes since 1970...first bike was a killer old H1 Kawasaki 3 cyl...there has always been this attraction to bikes to brain-dead low-lifes as you described. but there's an awful lot of nice folks who ride, who wouldn't do something like that if they were on fire!
it's more a sympton of the sickness in society at large than just bikers. if the guy next to you could get his pickup to stand on one wheel, where he could run up and cut everyone off, so he could be 'first', he'd do it.
there's a complete breakdown of civility in our civilization. a large part of that comes from the welfare-state mentality, of gimme-gimme, i want my rights, you take the responsibility...
hell, clinton got away with murder, literally...these guys are small potatoes next to that.
why don'cha do the door thing? or just slip over to the very edge of your lane, and choke off the passage that these creeps use? ( i hope you're in a gun-toting state, i am! )

I dislike right here, so stated as "drivers" the two. Any physique from the midsection East, Italians, Greeks, eastern Europeans - no staying power and no sense of the line rules. Volvo, Saab, Citreon or Renault drivers - they are the only ones on the line. SUV drivers, drivers towing caravans and horse trailers - no street sense and no journey. Idiots in any motor vehicle that passes a semi in site visitors then right this moment jumps on the brakes, pulls in front of you on your emergency braking area or that try to overtake a protracted motor vehicle on the interior whilst the truck is doing a turn - need to be crunched and quite some circumstances DO. Peanuts who do not/won't use indicators whilst changing lanes or turning. that is not particularly the motor vehicle, that's the mentality of the guy at the back of the wheel!

Curb your rage! Maybe you didn't know this about motorcycles, but they have no cooling system like the radiators on cars. So If they sit in traffic, they overheat. Which is why the law says they are allowed to split lanes, and move to the front of traffic when there's a red light. They're cooled by the air moving over them. Now reckless behavior is unacceptable, but if these guys were just bypassing traffic, then that's part of the advantage of commuting on a motorcycle. Chill.
