I start the day trying to be a good person, but then someone pulls out in front of me, doing 10 mph below the speed limit. So I'll try again tomorrow.
@kibcol1049 omg same — three times in the few miles to get groceries. Three. Times. Zero on the way back, so I killed no one.

@cascheranno @kibcol1049 In my fairly recent youth, I rode motorbikes for around 20 years. In those days, a Volvo was your enemy as they drove like idiots, didn't look, stop, wait etc.

These days, Volvo are fine, but German car drivers seem to have taken over the idiocy. A friend of ours always shouts "Don't block the road when you crash!" As they fly past in all the wrong places!

@NormanDunbar @cascheranno @kibcol1049
Same ~20 years & not riding in traffic on 2 wheels anymore.
@stevewfolds @NormanDunbar @cascheranno 30 years of scraping bodies up after traffic collisions have led me to the conclusion you always come off worse on 2 wheels! ☹️😱
@kibcol1049 @NormanDunbar @cascheranno I managed to walk away with broken bones from falls on different motorcycles & quit in 1986.
@stevewfolds @NormanDunbar @cascheranno Good plan. I've seen too many lives ruined.
@kibcol1049 @stevewfolds @NormanDunbar @cascheranno I walked away from my motorcycle when I moved from the city to the country where I had horses. Literally parked the bike and left it. (Sold the bike 20 years later.)
