Old ladies
 
that don't see over the dashboard also don't see you.

I did a quicker then expected lane change maneuver on the way back from launch, the lady moved right over into my lane. Luckily no one was to my right.

Keep your head on a swivel and anticipate what each car will/could do....

Yep, welcome to everyday street riding. Always try and remember where the cars ahead and behind you are and always keep them in sight! Its the surprises that get us!

I've only been riding for about a year, and this has happened to me more times then I care to mention. Try not to ride side by side anyone if you can, and if you have to pass someone do it quickly. If someone is tentative about making a move GTFO.

It sucks to have to expect everyone to fuck up, but it's the only way to ride on the street. :bash:

This is what I tell everyone that considers riding because you ARE!

I had a lady in her 20's who could certainly see over the dashboard pull almost into my left side until I hit the horn and yelled (I figured she was going to do something stupid and widended my turn down her street already to compensate so I could throttle out of the situation if need be)... she then proceeded to yell at ME because apparently it was my fault for her being an idiot.

ALWAYS ASSUME PEOPLE DON'T SEE YOU because people are dumb. Period.

.

Would this also apply to Black men age 16-30? Because that is how a lot of them sit in their car.

By the way, who is that in your avatar? More pics please?

By the way....I've been street riding for 23 years and run over twice. One was a 20 something female & the other was a 40 something female......I figure the next should be a 60 something female. :tremble:
