It's staring already!

We were driving home from Concord on 106 when 3 bikers pulled out of Dunkin donuts in Louden. No problems until we got about 5 miles down the road at the long straightaway just before the track. They decided to pass a car, 2 passed on the left while the third which was carrying a passenger passed in the breakdown lane.
What a dumbass thing to do.
For my wife just took the safety class at Meredith HD and is picking her bike up this week it was an example of what not to do.

Much like boating, there's "boneheads on bikes too!

It's unfortunate but a fact of life. Tell your wife to disregard these idiots and congratulations to her on taking the safety class!!

I'd love to see the driving record of the guy who passed on the right. He won't be around very long if he keeps it up.

The guy on the right is very lucky the car driver did not flinch due to the two passing on the left......'Cause that is what I would have done.

Well not really, but I would have made the guy on the right think I was.....

I fully expect to see driving like this during bike week, it happens all too frequently during that week.
Maybe that’s why there is so much police presence and you hear a lot of complaints about it being ruined due to all the increased patrols and the cracking down on all the fun.
I guess you reap what you sow.

Thing about it is; there's bad drivers for every type of vehicle - car, motorcycle, and even minivans, according to my husband.

Original post said "staring", not "starting"

SIKSUKR · 05-03-2011, 02:07 PM

I see.But I don't see "starting" or "staring" in the post.

CateP · 05-03-2011, 02:25 PM

The title of the post says: "It's staring already."

The question (hee, hee) is who is staring already? (was it a long gaze from those dangerous riders?)

Sorry for being irreverent, but I get a good little laugh when people point out oddities in posts.

Jonas Pilot · 05-03-2011, 03:34 PM

... Now I get it. I was wondering what the heck I missed. I read it a bunch of times to no avail.

Boy am I blind or what? Forgive me for my aging.
