I just moved back east (dirty jerz) from San Francisco, and I think it may have been one of the worst decisions I have made.  As soon as I got into the state I was tailgated for about 6 miles until I pulled into my driveway.  People are assholes, shitty drivers and it is humid here.  Yes the pizza is better, but pretty much everything else sucks. 

like ducatiz said - move west!

west = west of the potomac.  pretty much everything east of the potomac is going to be a pregnant dog, although DC has free street parking for bikes...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You`re supposed to slam on the brakes REAL hard when they do that.

brake checking is about the biggest dick move you can do.


tapping your brake to activate the light is fine, but when you actually do a full on brake check.......you are cruisin' for a bruisin'

I used to do that, now I just take my foot of the gas and coast until I'm stopped.  If they want to get out of their car, I'm more than happy to meet them with the softball bat and my 6'4" 275# frame.  I don't have many problems......

I agree move west. I'm from the west but have been in DC for 10 years.  Planning my exit strategy now.....

'cept the people that have a gun and are now legally justified in using it. If you block their car/truck in and come at them with a bat you are going to end up with extra holes in your head.....better to just move out of the way and let them move on.

He did say he would stay in the car until they got out (OK thinking), might as well just move out of the way and quit blocking traffic (better thinking).

Not sure where you live, but on the highways in Ohio you have so many left lane drivers.

It isn't hard or uncommon to come up on someone and to ride them forcing them to get over.


Sure you could lane change and pass, but that often yields getting blocked in my a truck

Don't bring a knife (bat) to a gunfight! 

Perhaps I was engaging in a bit of posturing - I have never blocked traffic.  Usually people just pass with a single finger salute.  Fine with me - I don't want someone like that behind me. 

Can't carry legally in MD in the vehicle, so I don't.  The only way to get concealed carry in MD is to prove you own a business that requires you to move lots of cash around.  I don't qualify.   I've only had to get out once 'cause some crazy dude was following me and I didn't want him to find my house.  I stopped.  He stopped.  I got out without a weapon and he couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Legality is not the issue. Criminals don't follow laws. Everyone would be surprised how many guns are in cars.

I have no dog in this fight (hahahah)...but this isn't quite right.   It's granted for good cause.   Lots of reasons besides cash business...that's just the most common example.

carry on (hahahhaha...get it...carry.......I crack me up)

Recently a motorcyclist in California apparently brake checked an RV.  Yup, he got run over.

68 yo guy driving an RV?

it could have been anything.  i've seen some 65+ yo guys who could eat nails and ride with the best of them, but most guys that age are just waiting for God.
