too bad this doesn't fit the legal definition of vehicle; otherwise, I could start towing my own tailgunner . . .

what i love about our ccw law is that i can carry it on my bike, but since my bike is not my castle, all i can do is carry it.
"And you should know that by being a racing driver, you are under risks all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver, because we are competing. We are competing to win, and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory; it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th." - Ayrton Senna

I think a little anger management for the motorcyclist is in order. I don't think the car driving grandpa cut him off on purpose. If he did, then bad on him. However, riding a motorcycle, like a bike, has inherent risks from outside. that's why they teach you to ride defensively. I get cut off occasionally in my car. I deal with it and go on with my day. learn how to not let it bother you so much. Stay alert to ride another day.

The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day, I hopped into a taxi and took off for the airport . We were
driving in the right lane when suddenly, a black car, jumped out of a
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed the brakes,
... skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the
other car whipped his head around and started yelling ...at us. My taxi
driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, was really friendly.
So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me
what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'
He explained, "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump
it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. NEVER take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on with the routine life."
Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at
home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks
take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with
regrets, so...... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the
ones who don't.'
A very right quote: Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take !!!!
