1. Motorcycles. Why are these things street legal? I challenge anyone out there to remember a time they saw a motorcycle that was driving the speed limit and adhering to all traffic laws.
When I see them, they are usually going about 120 mph down I-35E, weaving in and out of lanes like those white lines are just there for show.
Nothing irks me more than sitting in dense 5 p.m. or Friday traffic, only to see a motorcycle driving between the rows of cars, going about 40 mph. I want so badly to open my car door just before they reach me.
I’ll never forget the time I was driving down the George Bush around 10 p.m., when all of a sudden scorching down the road were not only about five motorcycles driving erratically, but they were all riding on their back tires. Popping a wheelie while doing 80 mph down a public roadway: stupid.
I remember a few years back, I think after Gary Busey had his bad motorcycle wreck, there was a public service announcement asking motorists to “keep an eye open for motorcyclists,” like they are being abused by us car and truck drivers.
I remember telling the TV, “I’ll look out for them as soon as they start obeying traffic laws.” I’m still waiting, so in my eyes, they are fair game.

RE: *** UPDATE ***
these are one of the guys that have road rage and just like that one video that took out 5 bikers from behind (i think he was drinking, but it was a News video that was posted on "sights and sounds" about couple months ago)..
"i'll wait out for bikers when they start obeying the law" - who the F are you? i look at for perdestations everyday even tho some J-walk, some walk when it's a green light, or infront of my car.. So if this guy is going to be that foolish and he hits a biker when he wasnt looking *KNOCK ON WOOD*, he will be thinking it was pretty stupid when he is in jail..

RE: *** UPDATE ***
Now that they took away his pen, they should take away his sword!
Here in California, if you get busted for spousal abuse you are not allowed to posses a firearm for ten years.
I think they should not only fire this guy, but also take away his car for being mentally imbalanced.
