    I see that all the time, too Billy. Which makes it hard for me to understand why most cyclists don't bother to wear helmets.

      To motorcyclist...a helmet law is alot like a safety belt law for automobiles. Just cause its a rule no one wants to follow it. I wear my full face HJC all the time.

        Actually when I'm driving near a motorcycle I become nervous and am especially cautious. I'm just always thinking about how horrible an accident could be for that person. When I'm following a motorcycle I stay further away than a vehicle ...and try to get away from them as soon as possible. .....no offense

            I had a friend once who rode a motorcyle. God I miss him.

              None taken...just stay out of my lane or else you will have a broken tail light...or a dent in the side of you car. Either or.

                    right on, Nutz. And later today I will be making the trek up to the WI Northwoods. Which by the way is getting as bad as Door County... one can get confused rather easily by looking at the license plates around them thinking they are in IL

                      I used to commute from Wrigleyville to downtown Chicago on my bike. Every single minute of every single day is road rage. Without it, you don't survive. Cabbies have their own language, and it only contains swearwords. But if you start ripping off their side view mirrors when they cut you off they learn not to *uck with you. Plus a good hard shot in the kisser when they have the temerity to get out of their cab does a world of good. Most of those guys are afraid to ride up on the sidewalk, so on a bike you can usually escape retribution. Believe it or not Chicago cops like cyclers more than cabbies. I never got hurt in two years, but I'd never do it again!

                          That's just another type of expletive!

                              I will be honest, I love driving in chicago, it is like a road track during the nascar season. Rubbing is racing, deal with it. If everyone drives like a raging asshole at least it is consistent.

                                Had a nice session this morning on the highway. These 2 college looking chumps where in a new Range Rover holding back the fast lane for miles. When I got my chance to pass them on the slow lane I did. I then motioned for them to move to the slow lane. Not sure what the passeneger did but it was a hand motion so I slammed my brakes, saw the panic in the drivers eyes and speeded back up. He still stayed on fast lane but it still felt good.

                                I love the morning rush.
