Default Almost had scooter for breakfest...

Amazing what some folks are willing to die for....

I had to go have a blood test done this morning (general checkup stuff) there was a back up at a light in the right lane but the left was still movingalong up to a stop light, and there is a do not block area painted on the street.

The scooter decided every one had stopped for him so he shoot out from the right and slammed on the breaks when he saw me. Luckily I had seen him a bit earlier then he saw me and I was grabbing a handful too in anticipation.

Now if that is not bad enough he figures he now has room because I am a motorcycle so he pulls in behind me then passes me in my lane while I'm waiting for the light (on left), cuts infront of me, splits the traffic to the light, makes a car slam on the brakes so he can get back into the right lane after the light and turn in to.....Starbucks.

OMG the things some people are willing to die for......sigh.

If he doesn't mend his ways, he's destined to be road kill.

Bev, if you have ever had a double caramel mocha latte with froth and extra sprinkles, you would realize his actions were justified.

Riding back from a chiropractic appointment with my wife. A 2 lane highway with a turning lane at an intersection, a McD's on the right side. A cage in front of me turns into the center (turning) lane for about a second, then switches on his right turn signal and cuts across 2 lanes of traffic to turn into the McD's. Fortunately I had a bit of cushion between myself and the a$$hole. As has been said many times before, "they're all out to kill ya".

Nope and think I'll pass if it makes me ride like a butthead.
