Motorcyclist says Dallas crackdown went too far

[JasonRR]

I think so...I've been on enough of these rides throughout the years to know how the riders behave and how things go.

So if I get stuck behind a pack of stunting morons, I'm A-O-K to go around on the shoulder and keep going and I won't get a mirror kicked off?

Depends if you are driving the Festiva. If so, you will probably get flipped over onto the other side of the highway, mirrors kicked off, and doors ripped off.

Only if JasonRR is there, because he knows them all and, well, knows it's cool for you to do that...

Anyone that rides in these packs.. please advise if you see a Silver F150 behind you try not slow me down to 40 as I will likely end up in jail and someone either severely pissed or worse.

I am inpatient enough and do not have time for your stupidity on a public road. Every time one of you go racing by, swerving in and out, or doing wheelies I simply know there is plenty of space in tomorrows obituary section for you.

It's just not smart, and should be taken off road. Most bike riders on the roads are not this careless with their lives, nor disrespectful of others on the roads. To those riders much respect but to the retards eh when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

You do know you'd probably end up in jail, right?

Yeah, that was in the first part of his post

Lol, I missed that!

Anyways, there are plenty of people driving 50 or so on the highway. What do we do about them?

During the last storm, people blocked off the highway to have their cars sit under the bridge. What do we do about them?

It's interesting that someone would try to kill a motorcyclist for going under the speed limit, granted for illegal reasons, but when a street racing video pops up there are no negative comments.

If you would abandon your family to hit a motorcycle going under the speed limit, that is interesting!

[Skidmark]

What would probably happen would be the fast lane is open and you're in the fast lane, then you slow down to match the speed of the bikes to watch; therefore blocking traffic.

99% of people do that...

We had this argument on the old board. It went a lot of pages and it'll never be resolved.

On one side, you have the Rick Modena type... bikers get what they get for being cocksuckers.

On the other, you have the Dsrtuckteezy type... I'm gonna do a whoolie @ 120mph in traffic and I handle better on one wheel so fuck all y'all and don't try to stop me.

The problem is that both points are to the extreme. Do I feel that the guy should have run his car on DNT through the pack of bikers? No. Do I think that when a pack of bikers wants to slow down to 35-40mph on a major freeway to do stupid fucking stunts and slow up traffic they should be left alone? No. If they made stunting on public roadways illegal as hell (same break down of legality as street racing, per example) and required dashcam/video evidence for a conviction, we might have a way to stymie this bullshit. Until that point, it's a neverending circle of crap.

haha, i love you too sweetheart

I don't hate bikers and also don't codone all that stunting shit on public roads, but that cop was a cock sucker.

I go around them and sometimes illegally if I have to. I personally would have been pissed had I been stuck in that traffic. Let's say if I was directly behind them I might of used the ole truck to barrel through..
I wouldn't try to kill anyone, but if riders aren't smart enough to get out of the way or even leave a lane open for something bigger than them, than well shit happens.

Bottom line is I would NEVER purposely hit a bike or car. But my weakness in temper seems to be driving. I do not have to drive in traffic daily anymore and I do not handle it very well when I do. It doesn't make me an offensive driver so much as PISS me off and make my blood boil. Everyone has a breaking point and that just sounds like the fuse waiting to be lit.

Apples and oranges Skid. The bikers do it during the day when traffic is heavy, and they stop traffic.

Racers do it at night on as deserted a road as they can find. Not even close to being a good comparison man...

More idiots in cars during my commutes than there are idiots on bikes. Truthfully, I have never been inconvenienced by a "pack of stunters" ever. I have been cut off, brake checked and generally scared shitless by horrible CAR drivers every day I commute to and from work. These bikers are not the main issue on Texas roads.

I ride, but if I got caught behind them it would piss me off the same as if I was caught in unneeded car traffic.

Last weekend on I-20 near cooper the entire highway was brought to nearly a standstill for 15 minutes while a bunch of jackasses rode wheelies while other neck beards recorded them from the back of a truck. Couldn't fucking believe the balls they had to do something like that.
