In NYC, I always have this corny skit I pull with motorcyclists. When we're at the light together, I stop next to them and say, what do you have, 150 horses in that thing? I've got about a half.
I think as gas prices go up and drivers get more belligerent, we're all fighting the same battles, especially in NYC, namely in terms of visibility and adequate room on the road. Anything on 2 wheels is cool with me.
