This road is one of the worst in Tampa. It is where 90% of our street racing happens and where over half of the motorcyclist here get ran over and killed. I am completely ready for the backlash of what I am about to say but that BMW driver got what he deserved for this. The main reason I sold my bike is because of drivers like him and thousands more that are even worse. I have never seen a place with such terrible drivers as Tampa has. When I am on a motorcycle here I am either cut off like you see in the video by some guy who thinks his car is fast and wants to provoke a race against a bike OR some old person swerves into my lane OR someone just pulls out into oncoming traffic OR drivers cut across as if there isn't traffic coming.

Tampa is a scary place to ride. Maybe even Florida in general due to having so many people from so many different countries living here and all of them having different backgrounds of how to deal with traffic where they come from. I am sure there are other places you all live that are bad as well but down here really is scary. I understand why so many sport bike riders in the area ride in a way many don't agree with. Drivers in Tampa are unintentionally out to kill you and you have to ride as if you are completely aware of that here.

There is so damn much wrong in that video on both sides. Thank God no one was seriously hurt, or killed. To me that was a case of too many a-holes getting together in one place at the same time.

I am going to make it a point to pass every camaro I see now and hope its one of you cry baby's. Especially people in their sweet "verts".

When I got to work the day after this happened and people were talking about it, I was completely shocked that a gun got pulled an no one got shot. Made me proud of society for a brief moment. At the end of the day, to all the bada**es out there, you never know who has the gun OR will pull it first. Props to his lady for not taking the situation overboard.

I can see it for both point of views. Both the bikers and the car driver. Bikers are in the constant fear of the driver not seeing them and cutting them off or swerving because they are playing on their phones. The amount of accident due because we are on Facebook or texting is absolutely ridiculous in this day in age. So i can see why bikers have a bad attitude about cars and the drivers. But also the bikers aren't help their situation by acting stupid on the roads. Splitting lanes are a no go unless some just cut you off. And there is no need to be popping wheels on the freeway's. Be smart out there everyone, open your eyes and for the love of god USE YOUR BLINKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Stacy, im not sure what you consider being a bad ass is "im assuming being an internet jockey? But you are seriously a waste of precious oxygen. Who say's "it's all i can do not to run them over" "stupid crotch rocket jockeys will most certainly die" "our hope is that they die alone"? My wife is a cop so im sure you're the type that says all cops should die too, right? Find a hole and crawl inside of it.

Obviously, you are a little too dense to comprehend the american words so let me interpret:

"it's all i can do not to run them over": means: as stupid, dangerous and obnoxious as they are, I can resist running them over.

"stupid crotch rocket jockeys will most certainly die" means: yes... the STUPID ones will almost certainly die. Are YOU one of the STUPID ones?

"our hope is that they die alone" means: We can only hope their disregard for safety doesn't take out an innocent.

Ever lose someone you love thanks to some idiots reckless driving? Obviously not. You may have a different perspective once you do.

Bad ass.

Well, the thread is "I really hate bikers riding like a..holes".

Do all bike riders ride like "a..holes"? No, I ride myself, with the objective of getting from point-a to point-b without getting creamed by somebody texting, or doing any number of other crazy things...

Of course my Kymco maxes out at 63 so KIND of hard for me to show my "tude".

I guess I should elaborate a little bit. On the back road that I take home ... the speed limit is about 25mph through very windy backroads that go past houses, farms, kid's bus stops, and not to mention several little spots where cops LOVE to hide/give out tickets. It is not the type of road that you try to pull that move on ... plus it is illegal? I do not have a baby/wife and not really sure what that is supposed to mean either. Honestly ... the day I was tailgated/passed I was going about 30-35mph. I am just saying it is not the type of road you do that on. He could have easily caused a head-on collision with a cager/cage (dumbass term too). I also do not have a vert. Hop on a cycle forum clownboy...... BOOM!

I can read, and anything can be interpret in many way's. You can interpret what you typed. But in the end, its not what you typed. You're witty, I give you that.

Good luck finding a forum on the internet with no "hate".

For the most part, we're talking about crotch rocket riders riding like idiots.. And based on the posts in this thread, there's a lot of them out there. Besides, I wouldn't risk damaging one of my cars, let alone my Camaro, to injure one of these douchebags. Chances are if they keep riding like that, sooner or later they're going to get a wake up call from someone else on the road anyways.
