Regardless of sport bike or Harley, those of us who drive normal vehicles would appreciate it if packs of motorcycle riders would not clog up traffic for funzies... k thx
no shit, that's insane. Are there laws against that? There should be, imo.

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/popularity-of-high-performance-motorcycles-helps-push-rider-deaths-to-near-record-high
ARLINGTON, Va. — Supersports have the highest death rates and worst overall insurance losses among all types of motorcycles, new analyses by the Institute and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) reveal. Motorcyclists who ride supersports have driver death rates per 10,000 registered motorcycles nearly 4 times higher than rates for motorcyclists who ride all other types of bikes.
Supersports are built on racing platforms but modified for the highway and sold to consumers. They're especially popular with riders younger than 30. With their light weight and powerful engines, supersports are all about speed. They typically have more horsepower per pound than other bikes. A 2006 model Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, for example, produces 111 horsepower and weighs 404 pounds. In contrast, the 2006 model Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, a touring motorcycle, produces 65 horsepower and weighs 788 pounds.

and in other news, people who drive Corvettes are 25% more likely to get a speeding ticket than those who drive a Hyundai Accent.

Actually, this states just the opposite...Its the smaller economy cars that get the most ( exception Hummer and Mercedes)

Not gonna lie to you BearsBud, sport bike riders to me always seemed like the idiots I did not need to worry about where as the Harley riders were the dudes who would murder you if you even looked at their bike too long.
My personal experience with bikers clogging up the road was on I-57 and it was with a pack of 30-40 Harley riders chilling in the right lane doing 50mph while they egged on 2 other Harley riders who also sat in the left lane doing 50 mph and kept any cars from passing them for a good 25 mins.
I won't condemn any riders just by a few instances but in my personal opinion Harley riders have a rougher reputation to the public in general.
By all means enjoy your motorcycles gentlemen.... just refrain from smashing in my window with your helmet

Some Harley riders are guilty of that, and I agree some are idiots.

Also very frustrating.... quite enrages me when anyone clogs up the passing lane to be honest.... but I guess seeing the bikers do it for pure entertainment made me more pissed off. At least once in a while with a car they are just a fucktard and if you flash you brights they will notice they need to get the **** out of the way.

Guy in the Rover should have ran over a dozen of those cocksuckers. Would have been a shame if the driver was armed when that ****** smashed the window.

While many people have this thought, the thing is he would likely be in jail and charged at this point if he had done it.
He was actually making the smart move by only doing what he needed to do in order to evade and escape.... not disagreeing with you lol just thought I would point out the guy likely kept himself out of prison by not swiping all those ******* off the road as we wish he would have. Though one would hope a jury could look at it and say "Oh you assholes were terrorizing people on the road and then went all mob justice on this guy.... give him a parade and enjoy your jail cells you cunts".... Jury's are notorious for foul language

I watch for Motorcyles, but honestly I see a lot of them going way too FAST on highways. They fly down 90 in and out of traffic. It's ridiculous.

The stupid move is getting off of the expressway and putting yourself in a situation where you run the risk of having to stop. Pick up your cell phone, dial 911 and don't fucking stop until you're surrounded by flashing lights. (Assuming that the expressway wasn't ending, he had a cell phone and wasn't panic filling his pants.)
I don't think there's a jury out there that would see that incident as anything but self-defense. They were acting aggressively and the one asshole looks like he deliberately slowed down to get rear-ended. If I were in that situation, I'd like to think that I would have done the same thing... and more. Go ahead and chase me down, keep swarming and making me feel threatened over something you started. Hope you enjoy the taste of rear bumper and pavement, which I have no problem using after I ran the shit over one of your thug buddies.
