If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

I have one brother who rides his bike and agrees with your assessment of other drivers. Another of my brothers (a volunteer firefighter and first responder) also agrees with you, referring to cycle riders as “future organ donors “. When these two get together, it is interesting to hear their discussions.

The latest incarnation of Triumph is making some nice stuff these days. I've owned eight motorcycles and only the last one of them was street legal. I felt like having a decade of racing experience kinda prepared me better than most for the little street riding I did, and got all of the desire to go fast out of me before it became a lethal attraction.
My brother was a biker, though, and I am very familiar with the meathead mentality that gets riders killed so often. Having broken a helmet while wearing it, I never had any question about the use of safety equipment and sane riding strategies.

Hey, cut him some slack. At least he has tennys and socks on. I have seen a pick of one so lost as to ride in flip flops. Not that his shoes would last any longer but at least he won't get a rock in the toe while riding.

How are you supposed to upshift in flip flops?

Carefully? Gingerly?
I had a Snortin' Norton 750 Commando S in the late '60s (quite rare and quite quick). I was fortunate to learn to ride from a bunch of coworkers who frequently made the 35 mile commute from Jacksonville to Hilliard (all shifts—that means we rode in the dark going home from swings). All of them were experienced riders of big iron Brit Bikes with the odd rice burner thrown in. Only one guy in the facility had a H-D and he never rode with us.
