Probably didn't help the cage driver's attitude coming from a biker doing the lane splitting.    Not legal in KY but, I'm pretty sure cage drivers don't appreciate being passed by the motorcycles in such situations.    Being told to put down the "fing" phone by someone lane splitting is kind of like spitting on into the wind or tugging on Superman's cape.   

Not suggesting the cager was in anyway right, but...............................

  Or poking a stick in the eye of a Pit Bull!

 A couple of week ago I was on a test drive at work driving down Illinois Rd. I look over and what do I see? A young man driving down the road driving with his knee because both of his hands were busy texting. If I was not in uniform I would have said something. I am so sick of seeing these idiot doing this. Obviously this guy should not have said anything but I see why he did. Frustration. In case you forget,lane splitting  in CA is legal. So the bike didn't do anything wrong in that regard.........

AGAIN past 5 M P H the frkkin mobile units shut off!  That is so effin simple but none of the companies want to address the situation facing NOT only riders but it effects everyone on a road anywhere. When I was still driving 18 wheeler even in the middle of nowhere out west had cell phone incidents thrust upon me at any time day or night. I remember when he thing that we worried about was closing time on Friday and Saturday night and holiday weekends. And if yer driving you DO NOT have the "right" to text or talk on the cell and put me or anybody else in jeopardy. Very few people out there talented enough to do any extra stuff besides driving. And I'm NOT sorry to burst any ones bubble. One other thing-YES-as a matter of fact I am a cranky old fart.  RIDE SAFE.
