Funny guy there, Don. I was actually referring to that guy from Jersey a few posts up.

WHY should ANYONE chance gettin' a friggin' "reckless driving" violation...it can ACTUALLY be SAFER to DO SO!!!



Dwight...I totally agree with ya there. But the fact that it is illegal in MA (and NYC where I'm moving back in a month or so) doesn't slow me down at all. If I'm riding thru Boston or Providence or wherever there's traffic, I don't hesitate to jump on the dotted line.

I was rear-ended going about 30-35 on my Thruxton on 1st ave in Manhattan a few years back...I kept the bike on 2 wheels somehow, but had I been a-bobbin' and weavin' I wouldn't have been hit.

Heck...I can't tell you how many times in NYC when I've split right past cops. Most don't like it...one even called me a "Jerk Off" over the PA on his cruiser! But there's nothing they can do. I don't care if you're RoboCop, there's no way you have a chance of catching me if I'm splitting thru traffic.

My bottom line is that all other drivers on the road are ******-holes and I have no patience for ******-holes. If you're slowing me down, I'm going around you regardless if you're in a car, on a bike, a cop, or whoever.
