Proof again that these RE's have a mind of their own, so don't piss 'em off.

Glad you don't live here , someone might have tried to cap you thinkin you were trying to cap them. Mine was a SUV driver running the stop sign half a block from my home. Horn , what horn , I fart louder. They need to fit air horns as standard on all bikes!

 A carload of Central Americans stopped at a stop sign, looked right at me as I'm thumping down Route 66 and pulled out anyway. I'm glad I slowed down just in case they did. My only regret was that I had to turn in my M79 Grenade Launcher 43 years ago. Unbelievable.
I would much rather ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow    Jack

Not on my bullet but in my car, I pulled through a light that had just turned green and though I hadn't seen them a car slid right past me with locked brakes.  Wasn't really a too close a call (which is why I guess I didn't see them before I pulled out) but I guess that they didn't see the red and were quite surprised to see a car appear in their lane.  This was late Friday night and right down the road from half a dozen bars, you do the math.
