My Ducati was almost an ex-Ducati tonight, and me along with it.

Beligerant and probably drunk asshole totally runs a red light in the middle of three lanes.  I'm going through the light around 30 and see him just in time, making a lightning stop within the first lane.  He missed me.

Then he has the nerve to pull over and cuss me out for a second, like he didn't even see the stoplight in the first place, before driving off and hopefully pulled over for DUI or maybe just being a dick.

I've been clipped before from behind, almost run off from the side but that's my first near-miss from right angles.  Praises to my noodly master!

happens all the time brotha.  thats why you look before you cross every single time!!!  cuz those idiots in cars don't see us.  they are too busy talking on the phone, doing their makeup, drinking coffee and smoking bowls!!!!

way to use your skills and not get taken out!

btw... when somebody does that it's really fun to chase/follow them around and talk shit to them at the stoplights.  try to get them to get out of the car and fight you.   you have a helmet and gloves, and they dont.  hahaha.

FUCK the cagers who dont look for motorcycles. Good job on not getting taken out.

another fun trick is to carry a pocketfull of ball bearings.  the bigger the better.  get up in front of them, and drop the handfull of ball bearings on the road and let them bounce once and then their car runs right into them, hopefully cracking their windshield.

i laid my bike down last year when a drunk driver was on my lane... put me out for 8 months, someone else found me unconscience on the side of the road... who was i to blame or sue for it, when there were no visible hits by any other vehicle or anyone to point at. it was like 9:30p at night; the car that saw me said they saw dust and lights from a motorcycle laying down... so they stopped. i'm glad they did!

anyways, ride safe man and watch those assholes that think they rule the roads.

remember, you can be the safest driver out there, but the person next to you can be the worst and they will clip you...

stay up! =)
