Mike,
Thanks for the help, although by some of your comments I'm not sure if you're on my side of the fence on this or not! If anybody has been riding with something up their butt we know how it got there.
Barring another personal attack, I'm done with this discussion.
What did we learn from this thread?
1. Al is very glad he does not live in Texas.
2. Manners, civility, courtesy, respect and tolerance on the roadways can be placed on the endangered list.
3. Some people who cannot be inconvenienced by others are not averse to using violence to show their displeasure.
Guys, this has been a real eye opener for me. I didn't expect this level of violence and intolerance from fellow Cobra drivers. It's a good thing that large numbers of people don't have the same intolerant attitude toward noisy, little, gas-guzzling cars without current safety devices that require special legislation to operate on public roads as some CC members have toward cyclists.
As a final gesture of understanding and good will to bridge the gap between us, if any of you ever need a character witness in a vehicular assault trial involving you hitting a cyclist, feel free to let me know.
Al
