Ever get behind someone who spits out of the window? This happened to me the other day. Not pleasant at all.

That is disgusting.

I had someone spit gum out once and it landed on an exhaust pipe. It was not easy to get off.

1.) When Cage Drivers are at a crossroad stoplight and start to pull out, then stop& you don't know what they are doing. AND neither do they!

2.) Cage Drivers that change lanes whether you. Are beside them or not!

3.) Cage Drivers talking/texting on their phones!

That's a really dangerous thing.

Great Wall of truck.

My pet peeve is weather up here. Morning I need long johns, gloves, thermal underwear. And by afternoon I'm needing to backpack all my cold weather stuff since it's ungodly hot out.

To be honest, people in cars don't tick me off because my expectations are low anyway. I get ticked off more by other motorcyclists, because you kinda assume they'd know better, we're going through similar amounts of risk, we're in this together, etc. I especially get annoyed when riding in a group with unfamiliar people (which is why I don't do it often); riders behind me who don't leave enough space between us, riders who really gun it on the freeway (but are freakin' slow on the twisties), riders who overtake me on my own lane, and just a general lack of safety.

Drivers who text while driving and those who are almost kissing my "O Ring".

My dog loves to ride a motorcycle with me, but only for short distances.
