Nothing irritates me more than being at a stop light and here comes a sport bike pull up next to you. You acknowledge them with a slight head nod. And then the light turns green and he thinks it a race to the next stop light. What the **** im not in no hurry!!! Just need to vent!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

In Michigan a lot of our traffic lights are set off by sensors in the asphalt. Most of the time the Stryker and I aren't heavy enough to activate the sensor and I have to sit there until a car comes up to set it off. That irritates me.

This happens to me most mornings on the way to work. I have to take a right and then turn around. That irritates me.

I used to get that on my R6 and I ended up having to run a few red lights. I always used the mentality that if the light was not working for me, then it is malfunctioning; and in NY, a malfunctioning stop light is to be used as a 4 way stop sign. Never had to test that theory in court though... lol. So far everything has been good on the Stryker.

Check your laws............here in Wi. if light doesn't change in one cycle, run it. (safely)

Texting while driving next to me ticks me off...............air horn time.

Same in MN if it doesn't cycle when on a bike you can run it. If you are talking about the lights with the square cut into the street stop on the edge, someone had posted to do that and I have yet to come across a traffic light that doesn't change since doing that.

In Illinois it is now legal for bikes to run a red light after an undetermined amount of time. Yes if a cops sees it he can say "you didn't wait long enough". The rules say somewhere over 2 minutes, I think, but there are stop lights i guarantee wont turn, so i just blow them.

Oh that drives me berserk! I LAY on the horn just to scare the crap out of them.
I'd be careful doing that though. Wouldn't want them to over-react and jerk the wheel into you...

I also ride sport bikes & its hard to ride them slow ;D

What irrirtates me most is when another biker pulls up beside me when riding down the road, even if its somebody in my group. I like having the whole lane to get around gremlins left on the road.

Yep total joke. Cause the guy might pick the bike back up and you'd have to fight him. But if you slash the tires. He can't chase you down.

Yet again, total joke.

What gets me is people driving in the passing lane doing 10 under. Makes me want to get a giant diesel truck and run them off the road. YET AGAIN, NOT JOKING!!!
