They were bicycles not motor bikes. They were clogging the whole lane and there was a long line. I thought Bigtexxx would keep them away from river oaks. Maybe send the cops after them and the beat them, but nope they were allowed to clog the roads to river oaks.
my problem is with the crotch rocket riders that feel the need to go as fast as they can in and out of traffic or ride the stripe between the lanes
I have an issue with this too. But not for my sake but for the ppl on the motorcycles. If I switchlanes and hit a bike it will cause no damage to me but the poor guy would get hurt badly. They make menervous.
People on big motorcycles are generally OK. Kids on little sport bikes like Ninjas are almost always ****ing idiots. I honestly wouldn't feel particularly bad about killing some of them, given how agressively and dangerously they can act. If you're going 120 and swerving all over the place between traffic, you are responsible for your own death. If someone is being that reckless, I feel no obligation to protect them from themselves. If you want to kill yourself, that is your business. Your vehicle is infinitely more dangerous than a car. You should be driving much more carefully than the cars around you. And as bad as they are here. They're about 1000x more insane in Northern California.
Cruisers account for way more deaths than sportbikes. Lane splitting is safer for bikes when cars are moving slow. The most common accident is a car read ending a motorcycle. The most common fatality accident is a car turning in front of a motorcycle resulting in a head on.
