my buddy was on gratiot by 11 yesterday, some a-hole decided to get over and my buddy had no where to go but over the curb, he dislocated his shoulder and got some road rash, thing that pisses me off is that the guy drove off, and no-one bothered to write down his plate

 

he didn't notice the car coming into his lane? you should always be aware of EVERY car's little movment toward your lane and either be ready to honk/speed up/slow down/or kick in their door..... sorry he had to learn the hard way... but welcome to being a biker

 

offensive, not defensive riding always

 

yea, he had the bike, his first bike, and he's learning on it, he just learned a big lesson unfourtunately.....yea i seen a car cut off a bike on 696 yesterday, the guy taped on his back seat and acted like he was shooting the guy in the truck, the guy didnt like that....
ppl just dont see us i guess.

 

carry a gun

 

word!! gun is good. I find a pocket full of change does the job to

 

Ball Bearings are very effective (that that i have experience in such things)

 

95% of the cages don't see you, the other 5% want to kill you. Keep your eyes open!!!!

Ball bearings are good for tailgaters. For lane changers I used to wear two pound steel toed boots. Can't count how many doors I've dented with those bad boys!
