Default Almost had a Harley as a hood ornament

I would like for Mr "cool harley rider" to do two things.

1) Learn to ride your f*cking motorcycle. The estimated 45 mph you went around the corner into MY lane wasn't too fast if you knew how to ride.

2) Buy some gear so when you do make another mistake, you may stand a chance of actually surviving. Your leather dew rag and fingerless gloves won't do shit if you hit the center of the grill of my 6000 lb Suburban.


On my way home from work about noon time, I'm coming up to a decreasing radius corner ( from the other direction ), I see a harley rider way too upright and going too fast. I lock up the brakes as he rides well over halfway into my lane. He drifted WAY over the line. It's like he had "target fixation" on my suburban grill. Somehow he managed to get back into his lane with about 30' to spare.

There are all kinds of road signs before this corner with 20 mph under the signs.

My suburban was almost a big container of chlorine for the gene pool.
