I'm convinced that minivans should require a special freakin' license.

Any injuries?

Yea we should be the last ones to automatically blame sport bike riders for crashes. The general public takes care of that for us everyday.

Actually if a vehicle moves into your lane and causes you to hit them, the black and white rule of hitting the back of a car no longer applies.

Oh, and congratulations on riding so many city miles. That's amazing.
