Default So fun.....S4 surprises motorcycle

I was at the end of my morning commute. Come up to a red light. In my rear view I see a guy zipping through traffic on a motorcycle then squeezes between the cars in my lane and the lane next to me. Now we are even at the light...me in my lane, he in a lane he made himself. Carefully move my hand to the ESP button...ESP off. Light changes, nice lauch, jump on him by about 3/4 car length and then he sticks there are I run out 1st gear, I can hear both engines whining, bam second....he and his little brain bucket helmet are my rear view mirror looking mighty hurt, no more room till the next light so we both shut down. I was hoping for a side by side exchange about how fun that was or perhaps the good 'ol.."What do you have in that thing?" but instead he again squeezed between cars and left. It wasn't a rice rocket or BMW, I think it was the Harley sportster....knowing little about motorcycles (beyond the fact that I've never been able to take one) I have no idea if this was a good kill but still fun.

Default A crotch rocket would have owned you, (and damn near anything else) but still nice kill....

I remember sitting at a light once with a bunch of bikers. They were taunting this punk looking kid and his gf in an eclipse spider. It was so funnny. Kid tried to take off and leave them behind at the light, not a chance, the harley boys were on his butt to the next light. They taunted him more it was great to watch...

Default If you would have done that to the bikers i know they would have stop at the next light and gave

you a nice foot print in your door. Don't skrew with bikes, they have to deal with all kinds of a-holes already that don't even pay attention to the road.

Default At least with this guy......

he was the dick in traffic. The way he was driving he was seriously increasing the chance that someone would get hurt. Its a total crap shoot squeezing between lanes.

What he was doing is completly legal for a motorcyclist to do and is known as cutting a lane.

Default Wow, I'm really surprised that is legal

I thought the rules of the road were the rules regardless of whether its a car or motorcycle.
