No respect , even among each other!

Ya know , one would think that someone driving a vehicle with the ever popular Harley Davidson license plate on the front and sticker on the back window of their SUV would let someone on a motorcycle out in traffic and not block them in or cut them off!

But NOOOO! Keep on yakking on the cell. Probably an officially licensed H-D cell phone.

Many don't even know hand signals. Out the other day , I put my left hand up to signal a right turn , the bimbo in the SUV coming toward me with , with SOFTAIL front plate , yakking on phone , waved to thank me , rolled thru the light and turned left right in front of me.:bluduh

Do you let yer fellow two-wheelers out?

Or if ya got a long string of traffic behind ya , and ya see a biker waiting to turn , do ya slow up , block traffic and wave them thru?

I do it , no matter if it's a Harley or a Honda , or a Vespa.

The big thing is . There are bikers and then there are peeps that got too much money . The harley thing for them is an accessory . Just like that big worthless hummer they had to have . My rule is .. If your in a cage I don't trust yea . I personally have no hd appereal or stickers . It seems the only time I get any respect on the road is when I'm wearing my colors . And I can thank gang land for that . Which I'm in no way happy with . Human respect shouldn't be built on fear but that of honest respect for fellow man .

I agree 100%. When I am 4 wheels I always watch out for and give breaks to the two wheels. I also think Jimmy is correct. For some of us it is a way of life. For others with the coin, they just want a status symbol. Those are the ones that MIGHT ride 200 miles a year.

I do have bar and shield on my truck, but you won't find a more courteous driver. Especially around bikes.

BTW, my sunglasses are around $20.

I read in the local police report the other day that someone's SUV had been broken into and amoung the items taken were a pair of $485.00 HD prescription sunglasses. Now I know stealin ain't right,but if you can buy $485.00 sunglasses, I find it hard to feel sorry for you. Probably a good thing the owner of the SUV was wearing his HD boxers or the thief would have taken those too.
