Ok so WTF.
I went riding into downtown Toronto today for the first time in a while, just cause I was in the area. Some retard pedestrian steps out from between two cars jay walking across the street and I have to swerve to miss him. What speed was I doing? I don't remember, I was trying not to get my bike damaged by the bones of some moron. Fine, I put two fingers to my eyes telling him to watch where he's going, and life goes on.
Later on, I'm reflecting on that incident momentarily. This is at least one solid hour later. At this time, coincidentally, some oblivious lady darts out in the same manner, jay walking across the street from my left. She's looking TO HER LEFT. Lady, you won't want to be looking at the cars that aren't going to hit you, look to your right, cause you almost stained my motorbike with your obliviousness. What speed was I going? Whatever the hell speed I was comfortable going, given the conditions.
Stop freaking stepping out in traffic towards my bike, stupid Torontonians.
With less than six months' riding experience, on my first bike -- a 600 cc, 110 BHP crotch rocket -- I rode 21,569 km around North America solo in 2011: ridermike.blogspot.com
Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.
