This needs to become a movement. We need more motorcycle awareness programs in Iowa, particuarly in Des Moines. Today I decided to do a few errands and since it was nice enough (stopped raining about 2 hours prior, was cool and overcast.) I decided to ride my DRZ400 to the mall. exactly 14.2 miles from my home. Since I was kinda looking for my lost cell phone along the way I decided to use the bypass to get to the interstate and head north. I was cut off no less than 4 times by vehicles that felt I was going too slowly (75mph) in the fast lane in the first 4 miles of getting on the 5/69 bypass. No big deal, I know that these people have to do something special like poop, but what happened on the interstate almost made me get off my bike and sit on the side of the road and wait for someone to stop. This little girl, 17-21 years old decided that she didnt want to wait for the end of the ramp to get on the highway and cut it close enough to my bike that I had to swerve in front of a semi. There wasnt much room between me and the front of that semi.. the sweet faced little cunt flipped me off when I got along side her. Someone must have seen what happened and called the cops cause a state trooper pulled her over at the I235 cut. but it doesnt end there... leaving the mall some old bastard decided to go wide, cutting me off, causing me to stall my bike, in traffic. then some other retard later down the road decides to split the middle between me and a car and he had the audacity to chase me after I got his plates and gave him the bird. Hope des moines pd gets ahold of him before I see him again.
Motorcycle Awareness Programs need to be mandatory for ALL drivers.

uwow man, you dont seem to have any luck on your bike, no offense to you but i dont see how people miss you, i mean i ride a black bike with all black gear and a black helmet, you ride a yellow bike with a yellow helmet and coat?? WTF?? how can they not see you?
I completely agree w/ you man. Especially now that a lot more people are buying bikes to save gas. People can be such dicks on the road and not feel bad about it at all.
