Bikers need to obey the rules. They all think they are hells angles when they get on their bikes.
Motorcycles are inherently dangerous. They knew the risk, they paid the price. You can’t fix stupidity.
A motorcyclist gets killed, without knowing the full facts, you automatically blame the motorcycle operator.
You are an ASS HOLE……and stupid
*and unfortunately its still alive, and you can’t fix stupid!
Poor souls. Motorcycles are dangerous. Especially in big cities with heavy traffic. If your not riding in a group people tend not to notice you. And it’s not going to change. One mishap and tragedy follows. Be safe.
