Motorbikers

Motorbikers get on my nerves most of the time. I don't know, whether all the motorbikers have a same mentality that makes them rides or do they attend some kind of classes / training that makes them all the same.

They never realize that they are riding on a unstable machine which can fall anytime. They just zig-zag in and out as there is no tomorrow. They never realize the fact that they are the ones on the loosing end. When reckless four wheelers (or more) driver 'kiss' them, they suffer the pain, even when they become the reckless two wheeler, the face the same consequences.

I am not sure have the car sizes become wider or have the roads become narrower, the motorbikes seems to have less space between the lanes. The thing is when the motorbikers squeeze between the lanes, not all riders have good sense of judgement of distance and they tend to "touch" the cars on their sides and leave their marks on the gloss finish of the cars.

Sometimes, they were so lazy to put their legs down to support their unstable machine when they come to a complete standstill, they just use their hands support against the car beside them leaving their handprint on the paint work.

The thing that makes me sad seeing motorbikers is the fact that some parents like to carry baby in the motorbike. At times, you can see the innocent baby are not even old enough to give a firm grip to anything and they just sit / stand in the front bucket to the riding parents. I know you love you baby and want to bring them together with you wherever you go. However, have you being the parents given even a single minute of thought to the cruel fact of life that if even the most slightest meeting between the metals will have severe consequences? Those baby are so innocent.

I know this posting can be a bit bias in the light of the fact that not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford a car and the public transport here is not as efficient as everyone wanted it. But is this reason worth for the parents to risk the life / permanent injuries of the innocent baby? I don't think so.
