I'm not trying to be a wise *** - but - this incident was MOSTLY your fault. When stopped at an intersection YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO BE POSITIONED AGGRESSIVELY IN YOUR LANE TO "CLAIM YOUR TURF"! If you don't give the *** wipes a chance to move in on you, for the most part they won't. I had exactly the same thing happen to me a few years ago. Some lady pulled up along side me to ask for directions. I rode off but the cop behind her pulled her over. Non riders are oblivious!

Was at Bike Week in Myrle Beach and traffic was bad. Was at a traffic light in the left turn lane and a woman was going straight, the turn lane was backed up so I was still partially in the straigt lane. She tried to squeeze thru and was about 2 inches from my foot. Wanted to kick her door in but my wife calmed me down, she has a cooler head than me and keeps me out of trouble. The older I get the shorter the fuse, I need help!! I keep telling myself that I'm getting smarter and everyone else is getting dumber, don't know if it's true or not, but it makes me feel better.

Well I for one disagree that it was "mostly" the OPs fault that the cager drove into the OPs lane at an intersection.

I know the type, car-carrying members of the "Get The Hell Outa My Way" generation. Their destination, agenda, whatever is more important that yours. So move over

If you want to find out how stupid motorist are just ride a motorcycle. Don't ya just love riding down the interstate at 75mph and some dipshit slowly pulls up on you on the passing lane and as soon as the clear your front wheel they pull over into your lane even though there is no car within a mile in front of you. It's usually a woman on a cell phone.

It all comes with riding a motorcycle. Get use to it.

Default Whip?

I know a guy that has a 3 foot long whip with a quick detach off his clutch lever. when motorists get to close he gives them a smack. I was thinking of getting one. Anyone ever saw that?

I think that would be legal as lane sharing goes both ways.
