I'm starting to think that the OP is right. It's too damned scary to leave the house. I think I'll quit my job and become a shut-in. Fortunately, I have a wife who isn't wise enough to see how scary everything is, so she can go get us things that aren't easily ordered online.
 
I'm not selling anything. I'll still go out and look at my bikes every now and then. Maybe I'll even throw caution to the wind and take short little rides in the middle of the night when there's no traffic. On second thought, scratch that last part. Too risky.
 
Are you riding motorcycles or just imagining how it would be to ride them? Scraping boots on pavement, riding in the rain with a pack of scooters chasing you...it's a better novel concept than the last one you had, but real riders are gonna roll their eyes a little.
Subtlety just does not work on you, does it?

And yeah, sometimes I stick my leg out to turn because gravity. I scrape my boots sometimes too. I've done it at this one roundabout a few times, for example. It's not like I'm leaning over specifically to do it. It just happens sometimes...

Crap, Phanuel. Now I'm completely freaking out. Do you mean to tell me that staying in my house 24/7 might also be harmful?!?!??!??! I have no idea what I am going to do. Someone please help me. Maybe I can start a GoFundMe to raise money to move to my own private island with no cars, bikes, scary scooter gangs, harmful chemicals.

A bunch of folks already tried that, and it did not go well. At this point, we may as well just have some fun. (Posting from the newly constructed bunker underneath my house, by the way)
 
If you want 3 seconds get out of my way and follow me with whatever buffer you like. Seriously, get out of my way.

Okay, I am serious. OP, whether or not you have liked the style of delivery, you have received lots and lots of reasonable and accurate feedback here from experienced and accomplished riders. They have coached you on how to take control of the situation, and what outcomes you can expect. You can accept that or not. However, if you cling to the idea that you can change how other riders ride by posting your concern/outrage here, you will live a life of disappointment and unhappiness. Seriously. :nchantr

Internal locus of control versus external locus of control. One has the potential to make you happy. One can only promise to make you righteous and aggrieved. Make a choice.

Very little of it has been reasonable. Mostly it's just been a bunch of dudes screaming "PUSSYPUSSYPUSSY". But oh god is it gratifying to egg on. It also makes me feel a lot better really not liking other motorcyclists. I am, in very many ways, the Bill Hicks hate camel.

edit: I've seen scooter trash cut across four lanes of a one way street, going the wrong way, to name one occasion. That's what makes them terrifying. I breakfall for fun when I'm not wearing body armor. Some guy wearing a chamber pot helmet and gym clothes is going to go crunch whimper die though.

I would say that your hump is now full. Congratulations. You can now take your leave of all of us knuckle dragging troglodytes. :thumbup

Not liking other motorcyclists. They're being unreasonable. Makes me feel better egging them on.
