OK,
Driving to work this morning in my car, a crotch rocket guns to get in front of me before the road narrows to one lane, no turn signal of course. Ok no big deal just an ******, it's the morning and I'm enjoying my wifes new wheels, its all good.
The road is curvy until the next light and he had the most curious way of hitting the curves. He would throw his bike down to the left and then lean to the right?! Forcing him to push the bike down even further, made me feel sorry for any poor sap that might ride on his back seat. Ok so he's an ****** and rides like s*@t, this is a little painful watching.
There is a long line of cars at the light, I'm turning left so I follow him past all the cars into the turn lane. Still no signal, hmmm. We get the arrow and he drifts up to the intersection and stops, effectively keeping me from turning and it suddenly dawns what this SOB is doing! Since I couldn't move I jumped out of the car and started yelling at him, we make eye contact just before the main light turns green. Sure enough he guns it straight and cuts off the first car in line at the light.
****** me off, people like this bozo are what makes some cagers hate us, putting my life at risk. Ok I feel better.

A little juke to the left and a snap to the right is a perfectly good move...in the right place. Sort of like winding up for a punch, it puts more snap in the move and you can throw it harder.  It's something they see a racer do at high speed on TV, so young fans think they should do it, too.  But it's also a way to late-apex a corner in your neighborhood so you can lookee-loo around and see if there's a minivan half in your lane.

oh I hate following people on motorcycles. They either drive slow and lazy or try doing wheelies in front of you.

Yeah. That kind'a reminds me of an old George Carlin line, Tom...

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

If he had done that in front of me and I was certain of it, I would have bumped him. Then I would have gotten out of my truck and he would have fallen down several times.
