I'm not so sure you are thinking of the right trailer....

Lol, ok, my bad. I was going to say, I didn't think they made any kind of passenger trailers for motorcycles. Anyway, sorry, I didn't really think that one through. :laughing:

I KNEW there was a reason i wore my MX helmet last time i took out the pedal bike. I miss (a little) riding my mtn bike, but it's just too small for me now. And it's 4 hours away at my mom's...

Next time you see the blonde in a green sebring convertible, "dog" smack her and drive off.

Sorry to hear about you accident but...

I HATE BICYCLISTS USING MY ROAD!!!

I ride a motorcycle and pay a lot for registration, insurance and fuel for the privilege of being ignored, unseen and run-over by car driving morons so in my opinion bicycles shouldn't even be allowed on the road.

Where this happened had plenty of room. It was a wide street with no other traffic but me on my bike and he in his big rig.

People who drive around with advertising on their vehicles should be more careful what they do. As soon as I got home, I phoned in and reported him. Funny thing is this was not a truck route. He was simply cutting through neighbourhoods to avoid the rush hour traffic on the main roads.
LOL, bet he got fired quick. Its one thing that the police could care less if someone with road rage tries to kill you in their car, but companies sure won't take the chance at a civil lawsuit!

So you're saying you dont like bikes on the road because they havent paid as many fees as you? Just trying to follow your logic.
Seems to me it is just as much their road as it is yours.

there is a road i drive on that has a 35mph speed limit and cages drive about 50 on it. there is a nice new paved sidewalk the entire lenght of this road but bikers (cyclists) insist on riding on the road instead of the sidewalk. most of them are doing about 20-22mph in a 35 zone where people are driving 50. its dangerous and when one of them gets hit, the bicycle community will yell about how cagers need to share the road, when really if the cyclist could (A) keep up with traffic or (B) use the sidewalk where provided.

when i ride my bicycle i go to the park (mountain bike park or paved bicycle trail) and ride.

It is illegal for bicycles to ride on sidewalks. They are for pedestrians, not vehicles.

If there is a bicycle on the road, slow down, pass when it is safe to do so. Beyond that, quit whining about sharing the road. The entire world doesn't revolve around you.
