In California, everything in the world can cause cancer but please race your crotch rocket between 2 trucks at 80 mph.
Is this the kind of stuff you text when you are chatting up a girl on Tinder? No wonder you're single.
I don't get motorcyclists who use the center lines in traffic to pass cars. The first time I saw it happen was on a California freeway and it freaked me out. A week ago in heavy traffic, a motorcycle came screaming by me, in between me and another car on my left. All it would have taken would be me to veer a foot to the left or the guy to my left to veer a foot or so to his right and the biker would have been roadkill.
When you think about it, it's kind of crazy that seat belts are mandatory for drivers and passengers in 4000-pound SUVs that are loaded with every airbag and safety device known to man ... but there are just about no requirements for a motorcycle rider's safety.Many states don't have helmet laws, seat belts obviously can't be used, and, as has been pointed out, Cali allows bikes to ride between lanes of traffic.FWIW, I am a former rider myself. Always wore a helmet and never drove between lanes but still had a couple of close calls. Close enough that I decided to become an ex-biker.
You don't get people who clean up after their dogs? What don't you get? We're being good citizens.It's like saying you don't get people who flush after taking a dump in the toilet of a public rest room.
I think he meant he doesn't get people who are willing to pick up after dogs.I love dogs. A lot. But I play with everyone else's dog so that I don't have to actually take care of one.
And yet Captain Kirk woulda been coming after your ass, aina? Motorcyclists can somehow rev and backfire up and down quiet streets and streets with lots of restaurants and pedestrian traffic, weave in and out of traffic, and ride around with no helmet, and yet from all the plaintiff's firm commercials, you'd think they're right up there with folks unwittingly exposed to asbestos as a maligned group.
The positives of dog ownership significantly outweigh the negatives.
Sadly, lately I've been finding myself questioning this^^ statement, which I have generally regarded as an undeniable truth for most of my life. My wife and I have had dogs pretty much our entire married life. Currently we have two. While I really love our dogs, I cannot wait to be dog-free. I know that sounds awful, but it's true. I'm very happy that our kids grew up with dogs -- I think that is fantastic. But for the last couple years, the negatives have outweighed the positives. Our older dog is getting very close to the end. On a regular basis, we find ourselves confronting that very difficult "is it time" question. We were discussing it again just this morning. So far, we're thinking "no." But, it's getting close and we're revisiting it often. As awful as it is to say, we both just kind of hope he goes comfortably in his sleep. The younger one is still going to be with us for a few years, I think. There will be no more dogs in our house after he goes.
I don't get people driving the speed limit in the far left lane. Then there are 20 cars behind all trying to pass, but skittish about doing so on the right hand side and/or are unable to do so because the people in the middle are doing what they exactly are supposed to be doing - traveling in the travel lane.
ZFB told me the same thing. When asked to explain, he got excited and kept saying, “peanut butter trick! Peanut butter trick!!”
Especially annoying on the Merritt Parkway.
I've been riding cycles since 1980 and have close to 300K experience on a bike but I have been hit twice by oncoming blind cagers that each turned left across my lane because they apparently didn't see me.
they have these doggie ice cream cups too. our dog sits by the freezer waiting for us to open it, but yeah, peanut butter probably works better
