Riders withour protection, Motorcycle riders that let their girlfriends ride on the back without protection. High heel shoes or sandles and singlet tops make me sick when the rider usually has on a leather jacket and boots.

I totally agree Phil. I haven't been riding for any where near as long as you but am such a cautious rider. You are so right never trust an indicator, the majority of people on roads either don't indicate properly due to laziness or don't know how to indicate properly! One thing I find is that as soon as I'm on the road with my bike, cars are constantly trying to race with me or act stupidly around me. They sit right up my ass if I'm doing the speed limit and seem to get frustrated. They assume that because I'm on a bike I'm an idiot and just speed all the time. The stereo type of a bike rider infuriates me. Especially when people say that there are more bike accidents because people do stupid things on bikes! It's not that at all the majority of the time I would say the accidents are caused from reckless drivers not the riders!!
