- When my son had a Honda Nighthawk he gave me this same answer. After
- watching how 4-wheel drivers behave toward bike drivers, I had to
- agree with him. He finally sold the bike after it was fixed up.
- The reason why it needed fixing was because some driver ran
- straight at him while he was entering a mall, just as if he and
- the bike did not exist. He just laid it down and got the hell
- out of the idiot's way on foot, since there was nowhere to put
- him and the bike too. No, my complaints earlier were not directed
- at cyclists.
