Everyone needs to look in the mirror and be courteous instead of pointing fingers.
Everyone who drives faster than me is a raving maniac.
Everyone who drives slower than me is an asshole.

Love it "Power Ranger suits"

I agree 100%.

We are all guilty of doing something stupid.

I saw a "news" report on Kiro 7 (Seattle Station) about motorcycle riders. Thought it was going to be an interesting piece. First thing the cop says is how he'd get extra life insurance. Downhill from there.

I've seen a lot of stupid stuff done by all kinds.

Funny thing is, when it comes to actual street racing, I see more cruiser/chopper guys doing it than sportbikes.

We should all be courteous and mindful. When I'm riding, I ask myself 'will this make me look bad to everyone around me?' if the answer is yes, I check up.

We all do stupid things. Do it when someone who would be negatively influenced by your actions is not around if you must.

Amen.

It's been said plenty, but (like it or not) every one of us has the potential to sway someone's opinion about motorcycles and motorcyclists.
They may not always notice when we're courteous and respectful, but they'll damn sure notice when we aren't.
The better part of them won't do anything about it, but do you reeeeeally want to be the asshole who fucks it up for everyone else?
