Morons on Motorbikes

Yesterday when I took Robyn to tuition there was a jam on Tepi Sungai. As we crawled along we finally got to the point not far from our house to the spot that was causing the jam. Seems there had been a show down between a big four wheel drive and a motorbike and the the four wheel drive won. As we drove past we noticed that the motorbike was lodged under the front of the truck.

You know how it is thought you hate to see the blood and gore but you look anyways and shudder afterwards. Thankfully the bike rider was not hurt. I didn't stop so I don't know whose fault it was, but I don' t doubt it was the motorbike rider.

I actually think once they get that bike between their legs all their brains go to their asses, because they sure aren't using them. They drive around thinking their invincible bombing up and down the road weaving in and out of traffic. Your trying to change lanes on a busy highway you finally get a chance and then before you know some idiot on a bike comes up behind you . At the traffic light your all stopped for the red light and you have motorbikes surrounding you and before the light even turns green their off faster then the speed of light. Or how about the slow ones just cruising down the road going 15 miles an hour but he's smack in the middle of the road. You want to over take the A-hole and just flip him a bird but can't because there's too much traffic coming on the other side of the road.

But this has got to be my ultimate favorite. I live on Tepi Sungai which is still pretty much a kampung area, and I swear to god sometimes I think they all interbreed, because some of those dudes just don't seem to have their god given brains. You'll be driving along and all of a sudden you'll see two boys on a bike, no helmet and the driver decides to pull a wheely. I guess his pillion rider must trust him a lot not kill them both. You even have the dudetts getting in on the action now a days. Used to be you didn't see many women driving motorbikes, but times have changed. The best part is though if you hit one of them it's your fault cause you weren't paying attention. Never mind that you just came up on my blind side or your tailing a car so close that no one can see you.

So when my youngest son sits in the car tells me when he gets a job he's going to save up and buy himself a motorbike. I just look at him and tell him "Not in this life time little dude." "Over my dead body."

I have to agree on that overtaking part. Just when I want to over take, that's when this huge entourage of motorcyclists will be headed my way. I'm not sure where they come from, its like they intentionally wait for me to overtake and just when I'm in the middle of the road, bang they come in hordes!
