    Hey doofus, I actually don't wanna run you over

    Guys n gals commuting in rush hour.Hey Im a fellow biker I totally get splitting lanes. I'd almost call it a right being a biker.
    But please be aware that car drivers really CAN'T see more than 2 cars behind themselves a lot of the time in really heavy traffic. Give cars enough space so you can get the heck outa there if it turns to custard.
    UNLIKE the doofus on a black gsxr600/750 on the Nor western motorway at 4.45 this evening.
    Yes you did hit my mirror with yours and it did cause you to swerve across sideways to the left -You probably don't realise just how close your bike ended up being to the car on your left.
    I actually don't want a gsxr600 bad enough to run you over with my car.
    Yea BIG effin deal -but if I was already anti bike how do ya reckon I'd be reacting to the ten other innocent bikers that followed along after you??

    They can see my headlight a full kilometer away unless there's a concrete block wall in the way..

    sorry dude but bullpucky.just because you can see their car from your position up high on yer bike does not mean they can see you.No ts not that they "just arent looking" They genuinely cannot see behind them through the van,car truck etc behind them

    Obviously there's no traffic down in the bay.

    Maybe you were following too close to the cage infront of you?
