%@#% cagers pulling out in front of me
They see you coming, they hesitate too pull out. They would have probably run the stop sign if they hadn't seen you- but they figure "what the hell- its just a motorcycle, cant do too much damage to me" and then they pull out right in front of you after hesitating causing you to squeeze the brakes for all there worth. Nothing bothers me more then this, I want to pull them out of there luxury sedan/suv and beat them to a pulp. Usually Iam comforted by giving them a nice middle finger salutation. I dont even use the horn- it sounds like those plastic squeaze things on a bike with training wheels. As a result Iam in the process of mounting a bullhorn/airhorn for the rebel that will be loud enough to vent my frustration and alert the driver that they suck at life

I was thinking about that the other day. It is a silly horn, yes, silly. haha
Air horn would be better!

yeh, those tweety bird horns are pretty ridiculous. I mounted a super loud horn on mine through a relay system. First time I tested it I darn near blew my ear drums out.

Get used to it, learn to deal with it, it is not ever going to get any better, only worse. Jerry.

Around here Springtime is the worst. As we get closer to Summer the cagers start getting use to looking for two wheelers.

Around here, cagers don't even look for other cagers. They are to busy looking at their cell phone, iPad, dash mounted monitor, etc. That's why they keep running over each other.
Plus most of them have really dark tint on everything but the windshield, and the heat here quickly causes it to bubble and come loose all over the place, making it almost impossible to see through, even if they were looking. Jerry

had that happen to me tonight, thank goodness I put on that extra loud horn. I mean I understand some folks are just stupid, but it seems that no one takes responsibility for themselves any more, not even a 'sorry'. Just kept driving like it didn't matter. What happened to common decency? Oh, I know, it's in the cell phone, i-pad, GPS whatever. geez...

GA just passed a law about cell phones and driving.
No texting while driving at all and must be 21 to make a call while driving.
Interested in if that will be enforced or just an additional charge if it is involved in a crash.
