Keep Calm and Ride On













Pity the poor drivers plodding along all around us, stuck in their cages, always in a rush but constricted by their mass and sheer numbers. The added maneuverability of motorcycles gives us a certain amount of extra freedom on the road, even while staying within the bounds of the law. We can stop and accelerate more quickly than most cars, take up less road space and can turn on the proverbial dime. Maybe you commute to the city, or a hotel on your trip is downtown. It always happens in an instant. Or a distracted driver in front of you is bobbing and weaving in the fast lane, blocking traffic at 10 mph under the speed limit. Grrrr… a few motorcyclists are guilty of this maneuver as well. Instead of burning it off vigorously defending yourself or running away, that seething, churning rush causes you to…get…ANGRY. Most of us have done it, even if it was just flipping someone the single-digit salute. If an irate driver threatens you, just keep going, to the nearest police station if necessary. The only time you want to make the evening news is for being a hero or winning the lottery, not because a year-old three cars away pointed her pink iPhone at the unhinged motorcyclist screaming at a harried soccer mom. We riders always come off as the bad guys, no matter who was at fault. Flying off the handle and risking it all—injury, jail, death—to satisfy some primitive urge is childishly easy. If you do, even if nothing seriously bad happens, you will always feel worse later on when the adrenalin has dissipated and you realize how stupid the whole thing was. Have a good yell in the privacy of your helmet if you like, unless it will fog up your face shield. Road rage is the expression of the amateur sociopath in all of us, cured by running into a professional. Discretion is the better part of valor. There are people who let anger overwhelm them, and they act based on that anger. Our prisons are full of such people. Get the anger out of your system, then live to ride another day. AMEN ON THAT MR. ANGER IS NO MANS FRIEND. Set your tough guy biker fantasies aside. We will all ride with constant awareness of our surroundings. It has worked for me. What an important piece well written! I am Motorcycle tour Company Owner riding tens of thousands of km a year all over the world. Age has a lot to do with our ability to take another persons mistake or inconsideration and move on even if it did endanger or scare us. By driving on and defensively your are defusing the situation and making the world a saver place to ride in. I think that this is more evident to us as we get older: Hey they can stop 40 tons on a dime, right? Think of the red lite runners. Good reason for self driving cars-leaves the driver, now a passenger, to chat on the phone, watch TV, etc. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.
