Dear Slickcraft,
WHERE did my thread turn into a "Trash Biker Thread?" It was more a thread to "point out a dangerous situtaion," that MANY drivers encounter. My son rides a Harley, and just completed a 3712 mile journey going from Niagra Fall to Nashville, and back, with three friend on their Bikes. So do I "Trash my son?" You say you have never encountered an "close caused by another biker?" Here's some news for you, Three years ago, there was an accident in Moultonboro, a bit up from Buckey's, when two groups of bikers (going in opposite directions) Hit head on, caused by "Yellow line Riders," (hit "Head on" mind you) and, If my memory serves me correctly, three were killed and five injured. So does a "subborn Yellow Line rider," cause accidents? You tell us! You can ask people to "Watch out for Bikes," and we all do, but when ANYONE (bikers or anyone else) HOGS the road, it's asking for trouble. I am very offended you tried to turn my "SAFETY point" into a "Trash the biker thread!" Shame on YOU!
