interesting site.
if i may add my two cents from a cager point of view. the other day i was sitting in traffic, the last car in my lane from the light. i heard a screeching, and i looked in my rearview to see a guy on a cruiser of some sort struggling to get it stopped, he was headed for my back bumper, and he swerved, squeezing between myself, and the truck next to me, hitting the side of that truck. he didnt hit it hard or anything, but when the truck driver got out and looked at the side of his truck, the rider reacted as though the truck (who was sitting still) was at fault. since i have MANY friends who ride, as well as my dad and father in law (and i plan to get a bike once finances after the move have improved), i pay a great deal of respect to the riders, but in cases like this, someone who already has little respect for a rider, will have even less. i was playing some cat and mouse with a guy on a sport bike on I75 through detroit a few weeks back, following him (at a safe distance) as he weaved through traffic. at one point, at around 80, he leaned up, and pulled his shirt over his helmet and as he passe a truck, through the shirt into the bed of the truck. this is another fine example of bikers sort of building a bad rep for themselves, and with "bikers" the old saying proves to be 100% true..it only takes one moron to ruin things for everyone.
be safe everyone. not All cagers dont care about your safety.

not to hi-jack the thread, just wanted to add to it. I few riders from my club went to biketober, on the way back they behind a couple that had an accident. A dog ran out into them and one rider swerved and... what ever happen they both went down. A third bike stopped to try and help keep the traffic back. A car flying over the crest of the hill (of course, this happen at the top of a hill and they're on the blind side of the crest). The car took out all three riders, their last ride. It's sad... but you never know.
Interesting Site, I`ve ordered a T think i`ll wear it at the gym might remind a few people.
I agree with you patrick, theres plenty riders who don`t give a sh** and make every one look bad, making it harder to get the message across to the average Cagers,
