Not that it really matters as I side with the OP...but when was the last time you saw any onboard video of the rear corner of a vehicle...lol
And this is the reason why I will never support lane-splitting...
Lady (passenger) opens the door into the car, hits the rental car, doesn't open wide enough, so she decides to shove the door another 3-5 times as hard as she can as if she could push the car farther away with her door... I was... Speechless...
plenty of ppl hate bikes for various reasons, but what was done was done. damage is minimal, the guy kept it upright which what counts
wife (was driving the car) gave me a quick lecture but nothing some beer/wine woun't fix
well! ... back at it boys - is hot, humid, chicks are up and about soaking up the sun, road is hot and bikes go brum brum ... yup (i will deny i wrote this if wife sees it)
Boils my piss just reading this. The Lack of respect for other people's property in today's society is astounding.
You handled that we'll.. I know side mirrors would be missing should that happen to some people ;-)Boils my piss just reading this. The Lack of respect for other people's property in today's society is astounding.
Same thing happened to me in a CT parking lot. Middle aged white lady (the most entitled group by far) parks next to me and opens the door of her late model luxury car into my door on the passenger side. I get out and go around and ask her wtf is she doing. At first she pretends she doesn't know what I'm talking about, then eventually just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Some white knight came over to tell me it wasn't too bad too. I just shook my head and said I couldn't believe at her age she hadn't learned much.
Well my trucks 15 years old and has been used as a truck so it's not like it really made a big difference anyway, her reaction just irritated me. If she had have been like, oh my god I'm so sorry or whatever, I likely would have smiled and said not a big deal. But the absolute indifference of damaging someone elses property blew me away.You handled that we'll.. I know side mirrors would be missing should that happen to some people

Yes, the reaction of how the other person handles the situation is what gets under the skin for sure. Surprisingly that's the type of attitude I'd expect from some punk kid, trailer trash chick or similar not the little old lady.Well my trucks 15 years old and has been used as a truck so it's not like it really made a big difference anyway, her reaction just irritated me.

If I was in my wife's car it would have been a different story, no matter her reaction.
you don't have to be honest with us, but be honest with yourself at least...the reason you will "never" support lane-splitting is because you probably know on some level you will never be a good enough rider to do it safely
it's so sad to see such anti-rider rhetoric from one of our own
