You mean the things that are obnoxiously loud driving down city streets? Sure, I'll try extra hard to look out for the things that emit noise that is only around 110db.

You mean to tell me the helmetless ones aren't trying to collect life insurance? Ok, thanks, I misunderstood the whole situation.

These are real motorcycle enthusiasts, not the punks that raise hell in the city.

Loudon is the oldest motorcycle race in the country and considered a major destination for bikers all over. Thousands will descend on Laconia in the following week.

Those are bowling pins for Uber drivers, hit 10 and score a strike.

There are those of us who ride who aren't complete asshats. I put this on a bike last week.

I'm a rider and know for a fact that many bikers down here in Florida are asshats, age doesn't matter, all the same. There is no helmet law here and many ride without one because they claim it's too hot, well when there brains are frying on the pavement they'll be more bothered with that in the afterlife.

I'm sorry for the respectable riders who labor under an image tarnished by packs of punks who (at least in central Florida) are encouraged in their behavior by the comical pantomime of highway law enforcement.

Was in Laconia yesterday making deliveries, roads are in terrible shape, weather was overcast in the 50s and vacancies everywhere. Heard on the radio that water temp was 66 but hard to believe when there was still ice on the lake last week of April.

Sometimes it's hard to take it seriously when they drive like they want to die. If your going way above the limit, driving between cars, swerving between lanes ect ect, I won't have much sympathy when your injured or killed.

I wouldn't want a death on my conscious nor the legal troubles, I'm always careful when I see bike riders. I also appreciate those who enjoy riding and do so responsibly.

Regardless of how people ride, just be aware of the increased bike traffic due to bike week and try not to kill one of my fellow riders. I did look twice yesterday and avoided cutting off 2 riders I did not see the 1st time

I took a Mazda in the face while riding a few years back by a driver who "didn't even see me" even with 20 lights on the front of my bike.
I was happy to survive to ride again

Yes, kudos to you for your pertinent thread. Forgive the tendency of most of us to make snark about everything. It's sometimes a habit.
