Watch out for Fort Worth motorcycle cops
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE.

I had an ASSHOLE officer almost run me off an overpass today
he changed lanes into me 70 ft. up in the air at the apex on the "rocket launcher" ramp I20W to I35S.

I put my foot out to stop him from hitting me

He honked his horn, I flipped him off.

make the beast with two backser never stopped.

I wish I'd gotten his tag #

<edit> Just filed a complaint:

Quote
I was going to work, on the overpass (the BIG one) from I20West to I35W heading South.

I was passing a line of slower moving traffic in the right hand lane
There was a motorcycle cop with a BRIGHT yellow jacket in the slower traffic.

As I passed him he suddenly veered into my lane without signaling and almost ran me off the overpass seventy feet up in the air and had the nerve to blair his horn at me, as if this was somehow my fault.

This was between 3:20pm and 3:25pm at the apex of the ramp going south on I35W heading south.

I had to put my foot out to keep him from hitting my bike.

He never stopped.

You'd better take a good look at who you've got out there and what their skills are.

If we had tangled up, and if I didn't have the skills I do, we would have.

You would be short one officer, a bike, and my family would sue the shit out of you.

I'll be watching YOU.

Thats crazy, you would think they would have some SA and good sense on 2wheels.  He must have been practicing a Marquez move on you  Shocked

I'm still not sure if he was pissed I didn't "respect his auth-or-it-tee" by passing him, simply wasn't make the beast with two backsing paying attention and got impatient, was suicidal, or a bit of each.

He almost make the beast with two backsed up.  I know that much.


If he had knocked me down and I was still conscious ...I wouldn't hold myself responsible for what happened next.
(even if the "law" did)
