Default Things you don't like about riding

Okay, so we all love riding for dozens of different reasons, but let's be honest, not everything about it is just peachy. So what don't you like about riding?

For me:
The sound of bugs impacting on my helmet
The sight of bugs impacting on my helmet
The thought that while bugs are impacting on my helmet, they're also getting caught all over on my mesh jacket
Police targeting me because I could break the law
Idiots on motorcycles who give responsible riders a bad reputation
Sore butt
Having my crotch get roasted at stop lights
Passengers who don't brace against the tank when slowing down
Maybe more to come

Certain statements should be ignored. This is one of them.

So what don't you like about riding?
Sore butt, Sore wrist, crushed nuts from time to time. not enough curves, cell phones.
Police profiling. (thanks to the likes of the above),

Dumbass cagers that cause accidents because they can't wait 2 seconds to make a left.

May it be cars, trucks, or in my case a AAA flatbed.

In my area its the bugs, my helmet visor is the crap after an hour of driving at night and so is my bike front end. In the winter and here in south texas we have mild winters so year around riding is great its not so bad. Other then that I don't mind my wrists and nuts because I tell my wife riding is what keeps me young. Johnnyh

You're the reason for profiling. Now tell me what you'd do in this situation: You're stopped at a light, and you see a police car pull up behind you. You get the feeling immediately that he's gonna try to pull you over for something.

I had this happen and the cop followed me almost three miles before pulling me over for improper lane change (I didn't signal long enough). Thanks to people like you who run from the cops and are being knuckle heads, people like me get pulled over for even the tiniest mistake just so they can make sure our stuff is in order.
