"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 air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I wanted a suit made of turkey leather.

Apparently, it is pretty strong and much smoother than most cowhide. 

Plus, it would be more fun honking at turkeys.

When I'm lane sharing on the commute home (SF to east bay), most vehicles leave plenty of room between lane 1 and 2, and most move over a little when bikes come through. 

Sometimes there will be one asshat who crowds in and tries to not let any bikes through.... if they are a smaller car with their window open, I'll go really slow past them, pull in the clutch and twist the throttle, and unleash the roar of my S4 with full Termi system directly into their open window.....    Evil

I am guilty of many things, mostly taunting exotic car drivers by blowing them kisses and then lifting my visor to wink.  If they are cool, they blow a kiss back at me and once a guy in a Lambo caught the kiss in mid air and held it to his chest. cheeky

I seriously don't care for turkeys except at Thanksgiving dinner. laughingdp

I do enjoy cruising past a busy downtown cafe or through a parking garage coasting with the motor wound up on the tach, or just a few little revs of the throttle. The burble and rumble of the little twin always turns heads and garners comments.  Grin

I also quite enjoy making poorly-driving cagers anxious. I frequently use hand signals... "PAY ATTENTION" pointing at my eyes, "WTF ARE YOU DOING" shaking head and/or shrugging shoulders, or my personal favorite: turning completely around on my bike to look a tailgater in the eye and point sternly at them to "GET THE F*** OFF MY @$$"! That one works surprisingly well, and even gets an apology and wave at times.  laughingdp

iv'e noticed very few people tailgate me on my bike.  of course there's not a lot of opportunity, but even so, most give me far more room than they would a car.

I love the "make the beast with two backs OFF" attitude that turns on the second I swing a leg over.

you said it all right there
