So it is bike week here in New Hampshire, and it only can mean one thing to me. Bikers acting like they own the road.

The other night I was coming home from FredFredrickson's house, and on the way, two bikes pulled out of a bar behind me. I don't know, something about sporty type cars (like mine) and motorcycles doesn't mix apparently. As I was driving these bikes got right up less than a car lenth from my rear bumper. So to get them off my tail a little, I increased my speed a little. Of course, their huge egos step in, and they increase their speed as well.

After following me for about three miles one of the bikers did what I predicted he would do. The biker increased his speed and blew by me on the double yellow. Now that pissed me off. I get mad when people pass me on the right on the highway, but when I get passed on the double yellow, that enrages me. So I chase him down, but of course the other biker behind me tails me to intimidate me. So I catch the offending biker and as the road turns to two lanes, I blow by them, switch lanes and use myself and another car to block their progression.

Just when I thought I had them beat, they pull off into a gas station where other bikers have assembled. So I consider turning around and pulling into the parking lot to vent my frustrations, but then I remember bikers have a poor reputation for a reason. So with no intent to get my ass kicked I keep heading home.

Here is the thing, why is it that the vehicles that are more dangerous to operate are the ones who disregard the laws of the road the most? In driver's ed, there was a whole section on making sure to take extra care when around bikers. WHY? These scum don't deserve it. They obviously do not care for the safety of themselves or others while riding, so why should I change my driving style to accomidate their stupidity?

Now of course, I am making a lot of generalizations, but it happens more and more often, but Harley and crotch-rocket riders, alike, always believe they have something to prove, and that they need to push the limits of safety and good judgement.
