I guess 5 days old isn't too old for another post :wink: especially since this area is about what you've learned and a number of you have illuded to how mean some automobile drivers can be.

I didn't realize it was this bad until this spring. In the last week or so I've had at least 5 cars act like they're going to hit me when I'm passing them on their left. Why do they do this? I've experienced this on both cruisers and sports bikes. I'm not being unsafe ... not track-riding on the street ... not riding their @$$, cutting them off or being rude ... I just don't feel like being behind them when they are going under the speed limit. What are they all upset about?

In the past few weeks, I've learned there are more people that don't like motorcyclist than I thought. It's sad, even before I was riding motorcycles, I always gave motorcyclists extra curtisies.

I've lived in Charlotte for about 4 years now, but I'm relatively new to riding motorcycles in Charlotte (started last year). 99% of everyone I know is a transplant from somewhere other than NC (I moved from Dayton, OH) and they all complain about the drivers here. I've always just chalked it up to the fact that everyone complains about other drivers no matter where you live - like everyone thinks their city has REALLY BAD traffic. Now I'm starting to think there may be some truth to these allegations.
