I`ve seen way too many bikers doing stupid stuff and that only gives us all a bad name. I just figure we aren`t racing when we`re on the road so a light or two is only a few minutes of the day. If you remember the recent commentary by Ken Schram, I think that is what most motorists think of us anyway so I think we should all do our best to follow the "rules of the road." That`s just my thought though. Doug On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, E P wrote: > What a load of BS!
