Few months ago, crotch rocket blew by me on one wheel in traffic. Moron. Totally irresponsible behavior. Down here in Georgia yesterday, some similar moron on a Harley with tubes for pipes, fired her up outside a gas station while these two ladies were walking by and blipped the throttle 3 or 4 times. Sounded like 4 bombs going off. Scared the crap out of them. you think they are gonna look at me on my quiet BMW the same way now? Not likely. the idiot reinforced every negative stereotype you can imagine.
Why did those morons do those things? Who knows. I wouldn't. Do we get rid of all bikes? No, we demand responsible behavior from citizens who are free to make their own decisions. when those decisions have ramifications, we respond towards them with actions, including social shunning, fines even imprisonment. I don't ride with crotch rockets, I don't rip her open for no good reason. those guys did, whatever. I think it's dumb, but I'm not going to take away motorcycles because of it.
Let's try leaving people alone a little more. If I want to carry a gun, it's none of your darn business. If you want to rely on police for your defense in any and all situations, fine, that's your business. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.
All I know is if you're the guy getting hacked and the police are 20 minutes away, you'd hope someone in that crowd had a gun and saved them.
