[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 381085, member: 7248"] This is why I always refer to most bikers here as suicide bikers (good bikers not included), our very own home grown version of the suicide bomber. If they want to kill themselves while riding their bikes, I couldn't care less. The problem is that they usually involve other innocent bystanders (pedestrians, cars, etc) in their suicidal antics. I have seen so many stupid suicidal moves: 1. Traffic jam behind Muzium Negara - biker weaving at (relatively) high speed between stopped vehicles, suddenly ran out of space, ran into the back of a Proton, and did a Superman impersonation, narrowly missing landing on a 2nd car. 2. Jalan Tun Razak near Pudu - traffic jam, another weaving biker ran into the back of a lorry; fortunately (or not, depending on your point of view) only his bike was stuck, and he was unhurt. 3. Jalan Sultan Ismail - group of bikers ran a red light, and were crushed by a speeding bus who was trying to beat the yellow light, read later than a few of the bikers died. 4. Jalan Duta - late at night, was overtaken by a group of bikers who appeared to be racing; in front of me, one of them lost control and crashed, and slid quite a distance, luckily he was far enough ahead that I was able to avoid running over him. 5. Jalan Pinang in front of Etiqa twins - Not a motorbike this time, but some guy on a bicycle - suddenly decided to cut across the road without looking, and doing so at a very leisurely pace, right in front of me. If I didn't slam on the brakes really hard, he would have been roadkill. A Kenari ran into the back of my E36 at this point. Luckily there was hardly any damage to the (unpainted) bumper of my car, while the Kenari suffered smashed headlights and crumpled grille. The Kenari driver was loudly cursing the cyclist when he came out of his car, the cyclist just looked at us, and calmly continued on, oblivious to the fact that I just saved his life. Didn't know whether to curse him or laugh at the situation. 6. Jalan Loke Yew - was driving my dad's Accord, and stuck in the infamous Cheras crawl; one biker squeezed by the passenger side of the car, then simply punched the side window, for no reason, then rode onwards. I honked him loud, and he turned his head, swung his hand to show the finger, and while doing so, hit the side mirror of another car in front of him (since he was busy looking at me, he obviously didn't see the mirror), lost control and fell down. I laughed so hard when I drove by (the biker was getting a scolding from the big burly driver of the car he hit), and was still laughing when I reached my office that my colleagues asked why was I looking so happy and cheerful on a Monday morning... LOL.. still laugh when I think about it. Good riders - take care out there. Suicide bikers - feel free to kill yourselves but please don't get the rest of us involved! [/QUOTE]
