A few evenings ago I came to a stop light and saw a sport bike rider at the light and off his bike talking through the open car door to the driver in a car in the next lane. As I got closer I could hear them both yelling, LOUD. I don't know what started it. I just drove on. Bad scene.
A couple weeks ago I was in Portland, OR. The GF was taking me to the airport. We were on I-205 in the far left lane, trying to make time, with 5 or 6 cars ahead of us, and then a long open space ahead of them. We were slowed way down and I thought 'what's going on?' Then I saw a sport bike riding very slow in the fast lane ahead of us and blocking traffic. Suddenly he cut loose with a wheely, and not a very good one, racing up the open road. Then he slowed way down once again and blocked traffic. He did this 2 or 3 times. Then suddenly he took off fast, weaving in and out of cars until he dissappeared into the traffic. I don't know if he was just a bad rider or purposely acting obnoxious. Probably both. The GF and I agreed that it's guys like that who give bikers a bad rap. I'm sure the cage drivers behind him were really PO'd. I usually try not to judge other bikers for behaviour or preferences, but this guy was way out of line. Maybe he was drugged up. I dunno.
