Nicely put together, we should all keep an extra special look out for the cages, because you can be sure they will not think twice about us

Great piece!! As I drive all over the country, and my other drivers take the wheel, I push the point home to them! YOU CROWD OR THREATEN A BIKER, YOU ARE FIRED AND WALK HOME! No if, ands, nor butts! Lost to many friends already. Hope I'm training a few people to be more aware!
