Lol agreed. I have only been riding a short while now but it seems like everyone wants to tail gate me no matter what and no matter how fast I am going. Pisses me off.

Didn't really care for the article.

My take:

1 - Owning a motorcycle is not a way to save money.There are always things to buy. Maintenance, insurance, gear, repairs, mods, more bikes, more gear, more mods...it never ends

2 - You WILL smash your junk on the tank. Just get it out of the way early, so you know how to handle it.

3 - Non-riders will never understand. Do you have a death wish?

4 - You spend more time at gas stations, than you ever thought imaginable. Especially considering it is a "fuel efficient" vehicle.

...its operator has decided that his safe stopping distance is "up your asshole." And there's no way to make him back off, either. He's comfortable there, inside your asshole; he shows no signs of moving. He's going to make a life up in your colon -- hell, he's already planting a garden and having his mail forwarded there, so you better get used to him

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! gave me a good laugh..haha
