I'm sure I'm going to damage my reputation by saying this but...
Take a quick read through this entire thread, and pay attention to how many of the posts espouse violence or incredibly stupid behavior. THIS is the reason bikers aren't taken seriously by lawmakers. THIS is why we're seen as a bunch of hooligans.
Bloody hell, people... apply a modicum of restraint, and for everyone's sake think and see more than one step ahead of you; nobody should have to shovel your carcass off the road because you decided to take revenge on a bad driver.
Remember... breathe. If your adrenaline gets the best of you, PULL OVER and breathe.
not losing respect in my book, thats your opinion. But I'll tell you what if I was in a car I'd probably have done the same. And as far as being seen as a hooligan, well thats alright with me. Not preferable, but alright. Got a loud exhaust? ever break the speed limit? And I don't know where you are from, but here I feel like I am taken seriously by my government.
Also, again don't know where you are from but thats how I was raised. Now there are quite a few people that understand the risks of a hit and run no? Try to kill me then run, accident or not I will make sure I do my best to make sure justice is served.
And I am just assuming, but I have enjoyed a nice 27 years of my life doing things that are considered "incredibly stupid" behavior. Isn't the act of completing a lap on a track considered incredibly stupid by grandmothers across the globe? to hurl your body around on two glorified rubber balloons?
in my culture the only person who considered me a hooligan was the person who got caught. don't know how it works in yours.
just my opinion, thanks for yours
