    So do some car drivers.
    speeds.

    I saw two dickheads in utes with radio antennas that could talk to Mars
    doing that this morning. What's your point?
    But not so much as Lebs in Commodores and Subarus.
    I had ditzy blonde in a Subaru do the same thing. Your point?
    I guess you haven't driven around Sydney's west. Grown men wearing Holden
    jackets driving Commodores do the same thing.
    I guess you didn't hear about what happened at St Mary's recently.

    that's your objection to motorcyclists? that they make you nervous?
    surely there are far more pressing problems facing you in the course
    of your daily commute (there's a big assumption that you have a job
    there) than that?

    judging by the tone and nature of your posts, your concern for
    motorcyclists and motorcycling is clearly not based in any interest
    you have in their welfare.

    so i'm struggling to see what your real objection is. i suspect you're
    just being a trolling dickhead as usual.

    in my experience of riding, it's amazing the hostility you get from a
    minority of car drivers. (the majority are not hostile, although it's
    hard to tell who's who). i can only presume it's drawn out of the base
    human instinct to alienate anything that's perceived as non
    conforming, different or in a minority.

    one driver once justified his negligent behaviour behind the wheel to
    me, in between trying to carry on a phone conversation, by saying "all
    you bikers break the law!" clearly betraying the belief that all
    bikers are part of a gang or club that must share in the consequences
    for their collective behaviour.

    with that in mind i'm forced i agree with you, motorcycling is
    dangerous.

    Yeah right - here's what happens when motorcyclists decide the road
    rules don't apply to them:


    http://tinyurl.com/8ycu6

    "The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his
    reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.
    Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike
    hit the side of the slow moving car at an intersection. At that speed,
    they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the Volkswagen
    came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the
    brakes.

    The car had two occupants and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car
    with them, along with the motorcycle itself.

    Left (and top left) The Honda burst into the VW through the front
    passenger door.

    Right Damage to the driver's seat gives only some indication of the
    violence of the impact.

    The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and
    landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.
    All three involved (two in the car, plus the rider) were killed
    instantly.

    At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second.
    With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above
    operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on
    what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate
    that no [such] actions were taken.

    I see you can't refute the statement. Why don't you go back to screaming
    about homosexual conspiracies?
    Wow, you picked one accident from years ago. Well done, arfa.

    <snip a news story about an accident caused by a motorcyclist going too
    fast>

    You're not trying to say that all motorcyclists ride like that, are you?

    I'm sure you'll agree with me that there are idiotic operators of motor
    vehicles of all kinds. And I'm sure you'll agree with me that the
    occupants of cars are much better protected from impacts than
    motorcyclists are. It stands to reason that at reasonable traffic
    speeds, the motorcyclist is in far greater danger of injury than the car
    occupant.

    I don't see crazy bikers riding that fast very often; I do see crazy
    cagers driving that fast every day. But that's probably because there
    are more cagers than there are bikers.

    I drive a car and I ride a motorcycle. I don't think that this "us v.
    them" mentality is going to solve anything. When I drive, I'm extra
    careful about motorcyclists; when I ride, I'm extra careful.

    I suggest that we should all be more cautious when driving. Bikers
    should be more aware of their surroundings and pay attention to what
    cagers distracted by cell phones and whatnot will do. And because bikers
    are more vulnerable to injury, cagers should pay more attention to their
    surroundings and do things like looking before changing lanes.

    If you think that you can be less careful about motorcyclists because
    you think bikers are all "dangerous psychopathic anarchists", then you
    should reexamine your own motivations and consider whether you should be
    driving at all.

    (For the record, when I'm riding, I'm not nearly as dangerous to you as
    you are to me. I'm not psychopathic; I care about the suffering of
    others and I'm not all that good at manipulating others. And I'm not an
    anarchist; I'm a social democrat with some libertarian economic views.)

    <frown> Trouble is.. we are getting too much bleed over from cagers
    who are determined to ride a motorcycle.. Most of them are Republicans
    which accounts for their bad attitudes and lousy dispositions..
