I saw one of 'em hit the back of a tractor trailer about 2 weeks ago on 495. He was weaving and the truck changed lanes right after this guy weaved into that lane. There is no way a trucker can see one of those guys. The biker looked ok but his bike went about 100 feet from him.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I used to drive a truck.
Sometimes I couldn't see bikes, but the loud ones I could always hear first.
And if a motorist has to rely on a horn to avoid an accident he prolly shouldn't be driving.
My opinion.

Hey its not just those on bikes....what about all the CARS, TRUCKS, and SUVs that weave in and out of traffic doing 100+?????? Not condoning the bikers behavior....just saying its not just them that create problems on the road. I have seen people reading the damn paper (yes with it in their lap) at 70 mph.....


SOK...Amen...I think everyone should be required to take a ride in a truck when they get there drivers license to show them the truck drivers perspective. I am so sick of hearing people complain about truck on the road......they need to realize Trucks make the world go round so to speak. Without them everyones lives would be very different.

Simplify.......
