This reninds me of the time I was driving through Des Moines on I-80 and I noticed a Harley Davidson dealership just off the highway. About a quarter mile later I saw a wrecked Harley on the side of the road, and what appeared to be two halves of a dead guy lying in the grass. Someone's test drive was undoubtedly exhilarating. |

wtf motorcyclists and bicyclists are allies in the war against cars. Every car driver who switches to a bicycle, motorcycle, or public transit improves all of our experiences. Every bicyclist who switches to a car makes things worse for anyone riding a bicycle, motorcycle, or public transit.
Every bicyclist who switch to a car makes it worse for the other drivers. That's the part that these peopel always miss. |

Iโm not โscoochingโ so these people can make the road more dangerous for the rest of us. Fuck off you are surrounded by two tons of metal, you are in no danger. It costs you nothing to not be an asshole and not use your 2 tons of metal to block people. One of those should be mopeds/motorcycles I imagine? Yes, cars stop faster when ebraking. A hyperbike performing perfectly throwing their body b...
You fuck off, I have no room on these roads in my city to give way. THERE IS NO ROOM.And I also have NO OBLIGATIONto go out of my way and endanger my kidsby suddenly swerving into another lane so a freaking motorbike can pass me because they want to exceed the speed limit.That would definitely put me and my kids in danger, and my vehicle. And other travelers in the other lane, which I would be crossing if attempting this. And I'm technically not blocking anyone if I'm going the limit. I bet you're one of these idiots on the road speeding, aren't you. Your arguments are dumb, because you are making assumptions about my situation, and, also, you are rude, so I have zero interest in talking with you further. ๐ Please screw off. That's the end of it. |

lol, you pompous dum-dum, this isn't about car vs anything. This is about you asking me to do something that I can't do safely, because you can't put yourself in someone else's situation due to lack of empathy. I usually bike to work. ๐ |

For me it's a matter of who should take responsibility for those reckless idiots. Obviously, above all, it should be the government. They should have zero tolerance policy and fight it any way than can. Which they don't do. The accidents and noise is mostly on them. But those idiots are also part of a bigger community. It's not some separate group, there's a lot of overlap. Where motorcyclist g...
I genuinely feel you could replace "motorcyclists" with "car enthusiast" and it'd be the same sentiment, which implies you dislike a mentality that you've conflated with a group or subject. Which happens, but means you're not seeing the forest for the trees. |

Kindly fuck off carbrain, you've made it clear you have no problem using your car to block anyone else who also wants to use the road, there's no need for further discussion. |

By sociopathic behavior I meat mainly the noise. There's 0 need for most bikes to be as loud as they are. Bikers install loud exhausts because they like it and they don't care about anyone else. And it's 100% a hobby for many many people. I'm sure it varies by region but were I live there's plenty of mountain roads that fill up with motorbikes every weekend. Stats confirm it, most of motorbike ...
Well yeah, in America, the popular perception of motorcycles are toys instead of a valid type of transportation, and so dudes who drive a car to an office job 5 days a week buy a 30,000 dollar Harley to role-play Sons of Anarchy on the weekend. Here everyone from 14 year olds to grandmas ride. |

I'm not blocking someone if I'm going the speed limit.And they can use the road fine. Just drive behind me a few meters back, we're both going in the same direction, nobody is blocking anyone. You're not too bright, son. Jesus Christ. |

I'm in Europe and it's very similar. Many motorcyclist are cosplaying as bikers or Moto GP racers. Mopeds are different thing, even here. |

100% car enthusiast are the same but people taking their cars to weekend meetups or some illegal races are tiny minority of all drivers. Where I see more extremely loud bikes than cars even though there are way more cars on the roads than motorbikes. I've seen stats form Europe saying that 70% of vehicles exceeding noise limits are motorcycles. I don't know what % of motorcyclists are loud idiots but looking at the roads I can see that it's way more common in this group that among car drivers. I'm sure this can vary by region thought. |

The smallest, cheapest Harley is like 12000 USD and almost 1000cc. The latest CEO said he was going to learn to ride a bike, but ran into an issue: The only beginner bikes Harley makes are for the asian market. Small, non or barely-highway capable motorcycles being overpriced isn't exclusively a Harley problem, anywhere else in the world you can buy *something *new that will go at about 60 mph for about 1000 USD. It might take 14 seconds to get there, but it's fine for learning or getting around town. Entry level bikes or scooters in the US start at like 4000 dollars new. But the problem of scummy dealerships telling novices they should start on the biggest sportsbike is even worse at the other dealerships, since Harleys just get shinier and more bloated as they get pricier, not so much faster. |

Over here I mention how amazingly woke and leftist bikes are, and their role in supercharging the feminist movement in the early 20th century. I also link to two good videos about it, by Rebecca Watson and Climate Town. While I don't really have the stomach for some of the harsher Magneto reversals I've imagined, this is one I can get behind, that we declare automobiles as an instrument of fascism and tyranny that should be condemned for their contribution to global pollution and the climate crisis. And this can be used to justify closing half the streets to motor traffic and limiting gas-run Non-Passenger-Work-Vehicles, (id est SUVs) to a maximum off-highway speed of 25 mph. |

Back in the nineties, Harley Davidson was the affordable, no-nonesense bike of the blue collar worker, and BMWs were for yuppies with more money than sense. BMW hasn't really changed much in the intervening time, but Harley Davidson have very much leapfrogged them. |

The roughly infinity times worse aspect is them copying Trump's signature blown-out-asshole lip pursing. I went decades never seeing a human being do that. Those were happy times. The closest thing I can recall was the Guild Navigator from the Lynch Dune movie who was a horribly mutated creature, it sort of had the Trump Lips. Now people all over, the worst people, are doing it regularly. |

Scooters/mopeds aren't common in the US because for the price of a new scooter, you can get a used highway capable motorcycle. And the mopeds depreciation slower than the motorcycles so even the used ones are expensive. Meanwhile in asia you can get a new Honda Wave for 800 usd. |

Bikes are very much left-wing because they support environmentalism, sustainability, equality, democracy, etc., while opposing waste, destruction, violence, privilege, grifting, etc. Cars <---> Fascism.
You'd think "conservatives" would care about conservation. |
