I like bikes - love the big tourers and dirt bikes but they are too dangerous on the roads which I found out years ago.

Nothing dangerous about bikes on the road, Helijohn - its the muppets in cars who don't look out for them that are dangerous!

Yes, I meant to say it's the other traffic, or just traffic in short.

It's when you get a muppet that can't handle the bike or is to inexperienced to read the road at 100+ mph

Absolutely true. As much as us bikers like to blame other traffic, if you are good at reading what's ahead of you then you have already seen most other drivers faults before they have even made them. If you assume the worst then your usually ready for it.
I read some statistics in ride magazine, the article stated that over 80% of fatal bike accidents did not involve another vehicle! and a very similar percent where not in highly populated area. Basically, the biggest danger for bikers is big power and inexperience mixed with a little bit to much confidence/cockiness.

Had a biker with pillion following me today at about 2' from the bumper. I could hear him breathing through the rear window.

Swift stamp on the brakes usually shifts those muppets :whistle:

Helijohn, you should have stamped on the brakes. Jimny brakes are so shite he would never have hit you but it might have made him wise up a bit!

Too right steffan / Wiltec. No tool is dangerous on its own, its the tool thats using the tool thats dangerous. A gun on its own never killed anyone. Some fool had to pull the trigger!
