you might be a 4 wheeler if...

Haha, my wife gets mad at me when I threaten to squish people under my tandems just to educate them a little bit. She doesn't believe me when I tell her it wouldn't kill them, it'd just *U(& them off and make them feel really stupid. And/or broke. Just like me.

 

Flip off the truck driver for not slamming on his brakes to let you merge onto the interestate from the ramp.

You're too busy on the phone to see the blinking lights on the side of the tractor trailer you've been riding next to for 7 miles straight.

 

I discovered yesterday that this can apply to 2-wheelers, too. I was coming out of the TA in Sparks, NV, sitting at the stop light to turn back toward the interstate. I'm alone at the intersection (my side of it, anyway).

Light turns green. I'm STILL alone (nobody was at the intersection when I pulled up), and in the right-hand turn lane. As I start forward into my turn, a couple on a motorcycle zoom in from the next lane to my right (the go STRAIGHT lane) and turn to the inside lane. For a brief second or so, they were so close to me I could not see them at all (long nose pete 379). If ANYTHING had happened and the bike had gone down, I might have felt the bump...

Why didn't they bother with the left hand left turn lane? Why in the name of all that's holy did they turn right in front of a moving house?

I have now one further reason to completely dislike crotch rockets.

 

My wife and I have 2 GoldWings. Some of the things we see many of the younger riders do on the interstate really scare us.

A few years ago I was going to work at Chrysler in Kenosha Wisconsin and I was getting gas at a Citgo station on 52nd ave. 52nd has 2 lanes going each way. A car pulled up to a red light in the inside lane. A semi pulled up to the red light on the outside lane. The driver of the semi gets out, climbs up on the hood of the car, and jumps up and down a few times, gets off the hood, and while getting back in his truck he looks at me and I'm standing there claping my hands. Zoom, he was gone. I knew by looking at his rig where he was going. Chrysler. I knew once he put his trailer in with the rest they would never find the tractor. I wonder what the guy in the car did to make the driver that mad?

 

You might be a 4wheeler if nobody ever tought you how to use turn signals. They're more than just a courtesy,they're important.

 

I thought they were an option.

 

They are in Miami and Chicago!

 

Yes we do, now hire a household mover or drive a car and rent a hotel room.

 

You might be a 4 wheeler if you are on an on ramp and never bother looking to your left while entering a freeway.
