Not gonna lie the angry emoji made me laugh a bit.

Here's a story. I'm riding down the road on my motorcycle doing about 35-40 just putting along. The road is two lanes in both directions with a double yellow line in the middle. There is a car in the right lane next to me. Some lady in her Vista Cruiser wagon going the other direction decides to make a left turn over the double yellow line in front of us, so the guy next to me honks at her. She stops dead center in my lane to let him go by. I thought if I hit the side of the car I might be able to jump high enough to clear it, but I decided to go by behind her across the double yellow and hope there wasn't a car coming in the other direction. I didn't have time to check. I took a chance and swerved behind her and there wasn't a car coming. I have plenty of other stories. Just watch for bikes is all I ask.

I appreciate joints, but they just are the least efficient way to smoke I think.

The most efficient way to smoke cannabis? Study says dabs

What is the least wasteful way to consume marijuana? A new study points to "dabs" — puffs of pure cannabis extract in vapor form. By contrast, old-school joints and pipes burn up most of the THC you buy, which is no bueno.

A number of our streets were two lanes in each direction. So they took one of those lanes and made them bike lanes. So now we have two lane highways with zero bikes and a lot more road rage, sigh.

I don't know what the answer is. The war on the car is raging here as well, and for a third of the year there's ice and snow on the road.

I don't drive aggressively and mainly stay in the slow lane. In fourteen years of driving I've been involved in two accidents, neither was my fault.

I posted that because I knew it would ruffle feathers and make me laugh.

The real shame is people don't use their eyes and mirrors.

You forgot brain's.

I have a friend I rode with for years who almost died in a bad motorcycle accident. I talked to him on the phone for months when he was in the hospital and in rehab. He has never been the same since.

Sorry to hear. I had a friend that did die in a motorcycle accident. It's become risky to ride.

I'm sorry @raratt, just having a laugh I didn't mean to strike a nerve.

I used to hate the late night donor harvests. It was fine up until we pulled the lungs and heart. At that point anesthesia turns off the ventilator and leaves, the room goes eerily silent for the rest of it.

I was just explaining why it did strike a nerve. I rode motorcycles everywhere for almost twice as long as you have been alive, and by some stroke of fate I did not end up a statistic. We had a saying, "There are old motorcyclists, and bold motorcyclists, however there are no old bold motorcyclists."
