    This was posted on a car site I frequent

    www.ricehatersclub.com (cars not bikes) I thought some of you might like it as well.

    *************************************

    I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
    But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

    I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on thesidewalk.
    But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

    I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
    But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

    I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
    But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

    I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
    But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

    I saw you, stare at my long hair.
    But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

    I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
    But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

    I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
    But, you didn't see me, cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in my heart.

    I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
    But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

    I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
    But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

    I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
    But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

    I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
    But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

    I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
    But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

    I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
    But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

    I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
    But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

    I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
    But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

    I saw you, go home to your family.
    But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off. I was just a biker,..... A person with friends and a family.
    But, you didn't see me.

    *************************************
    I'm glad my friends and family know the diference between Scooter Trash and just plain Trash. :biker:

    You're right Nurse, they NEVER do anything like that! It's their road, we're lucky that they give us a little piece of it. How dare we!

    Not unless it was on their PDA or blackberry, right Chuck?! Actually maybe if we called them on their cell phones.........Hmmmmm, there's an idea. At least that way we'd know they were listening and paying attention, cause they sure as hell ain't looking at the road! :D :roflmao: Although not very funny actually.....

    I wonder if it could be incorporated into the DMV manual and be made part of the Driver Llicence test.

    Ok, now go climb into an 18 wheeler and have a look around. Think about that too.

    :cheers: :eek:

    I stole this from the site:

    ยป Welcome to the Rice Haters Club!!!

    Who Are We?
    We are a bunch of red-blooded automotive enthusiasts that eat, drink, sleep and **** cars. We believe in doing what ever it is you want to do to your ride, be it a stocker or an all-out dragster, as long as it doesn't veer off into the Ricer World.

    What do we consider "Ricer" to be? Well, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be here, but I'll humor your inquisitiveness anyway.


    Any bone stock ride that is covered in stickers from companies that have nothing to do with that ride is a Ricer.
    Any ride with a paint job that looks like something Walt Disney threw-up is a Ricer.
    Any ride with more bondo than sheet metal is a Ricer.
    Any ride with undercarriage lighting is a Ricer.
    Any ride with neon ANYWHERE is a Ricer (beer trucks omitted).
    Any ride with wheels 3 sizes too small or too large is a Ricer.
    Fartpipe coffee can exhaust? Ricer.
    "R" Badges? Ricer.
    Monster tach in a mechanically stock vehicle? Ricer.
    Ground effects bought at Home Depot? Ricer.
    Fake scoops mounted where even real scoops would serve no purpose? Ricer.
    A spoiler that more resembles a picnic basket handle? Ricer.
    Aviation parts mounted "for better traction"? Ricer.
    Defrost ducts painted with latex paint to match the color of the sticker on the brake pads? Ricer.

    I've seen every one of these cars & wondered WTF ?...Now I know there are others who question these peoples thought process also.
