So here I sit watching YouTube videos of close calls between motorcycles (almost exclusively crotch rockets) and cars/trucks/busses. Motorcycle guys goin nuts, flipping the bird, hitting mirrors.

Common denominator in EVERY video?
Excessive speed and reckless riding by the bike riders.

Mick, something I never understood was, you're on a bike and get cutoff, so you ride ride like an *** to curse out the guy that did it. My thought is, that sucked, I survived, I'm over it.

Some people are stupid ******** it doesn't matter how they travel. Oh, but then there's the "I have the right to travel" people, but they're an even different breed altogether. I'm itching to get on the road!

Hey, a separate note. My sissy bar should be in today and I'm planning on taking Emily (11) on her first ever ride when I get home.

Juan L,
Puerto Rico called.
Was that a Communication or Navigation tweak you made while there ?
They would like you to call them back on the RussBatphone.

One of the problems with chasing someone down is they may have a gun, Chris. I never ride unarmed so I assume everyone else is as well.

11 out of 10 people in Texas are packing. Your state is no different.

LOL
When you blow up at your boss, and feel bad afterwards. Not because you blew up, but because your boss is so clueless that there's no way he can relate to the challenging issue at hand.
Like whipping a puppy might feel.
