Please think of us,we are the same as you,only will die maybe because of your mistake.


THE BIKER

I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection outside the store as I walked in.

I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by.
But, you didn't see me, riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather jackets and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.

I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart.

I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn ' t see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind
me.

I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you; run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you; go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me.

Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn' t see me.

Re-send this around in hopes that people will understand the biker
community.

If you don't re-send this, all I can say is it sucks to be you.
I hope you never loose someone that rides.


EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE US, RESPECT OUR RIGHTS TO RIDE WHAT WE CHOOSE AND TAKE A FEW EXTRA SECONDS TO BE SURE!!!

[sickcars]

im not even going to read this, but it should be DELETED

[ichpen]

Dear god, lock this thread, it's pointless.

I saw you weave between heavy traffic at speed,
I saw you almost hit a pedestrian as you ran a red light and mounted the curb to save a few seconds,
I saw you completely ignore oncoming traffic as you ran through a 4 way stop,
I saw you gesture with your favourite finger as cars turned when the lights turned green, somehow this upset you....

etc etc etc

[redpattison]

Thank you for your concern.
Of course you have never ever seen idiot drivers doing traffic weaving,etc
You are telling me that you all behave like Angels.
Get a life.
This is a positive write up only asking for your help and concern in being considerate towards bikers.
Too much to ask for,seems so.
Of course their are stupid,idiot bikers,does that mean it is ok for you to treat us like dirt?
Believe it or not,we are not all the same.
Flame us as much as you like,however,it goes to show how selfish some,not all,are when it concerns your selfish driving habits.
If you chose not to read it that is your choice.
Their are no rules in life that say you have to.
As is the fact that you wish to be ignorant and rude that is also your choice.
Thank goodness we are not all like you.

Not a chain letter exactly , but an email/post that's been floating around for a while. Hit's the bike forums every once and a while.

Thank you for your courtesy reply.
Seems not too many people like Bikers.
We are the same as everbody else,except vulnerable.
Bikers come in all shapes and sizes.
Bankers,Teachers,Lawyers and many professionals and yet we are all tarred with the same brush as being into sex,drugs and rock and roll.
MMMmmmm,maybe not such a bad thing.
