Do you ever build some sort of road rage while out driving your motorcycle because 1 out of 5 times out riding someone never sees you and cuts you off and just gets you that close to an accident. I can't stand that, as a rider i've noticed that i'm more paranoid which i believe makes me a better driver because i pay that much MORE attention to my driving because i would hate to be the guy that while driving a car and not paying attention and hitting a biker. It would make me feel horrible because i know better as a motorcycle rider. Just curious on what all the bikers think out there about this?

I don't know what country you live in, but I'm in the uk, and as a driver I can say that motorcyclists are a danger to themselves. I've actually seen one rider riding safely, sitting in traffic and not nipping around cars and overtaking, driving at the speed limit and everything. It's so rare, that I actually noticed, and told the next person I saw about it. They were shocked too.

Yea i know i live in denver colorado, which is a decent sized city of about 4 million, so yea it's almost like you assume the risk of dying if you ride a motorcycle and it makes me sick. I mean as a rider we just want to enjoy the fresh air and the feeling of freeness and here we are risking are lives because so many people just don't look in their mirrors. Thanks for the response.
