If I'm mounting a camera on my helmet or handlebars, I want something to happen. Anything. Shoulder brushes, swerving lushes, "GET OFF THE ROAD" cusses. Something.
Without, it's an uneventful hour of a straight, white line. Yawn. Boring. BooTube. I can count the hits now, ZERO.
I'm just skeptical, that's all I'm saying. Tape can lie. Video can be taken out of context, edited, skewed to fit a need. Trust me television does it all the time. And I'm not saying it doesn't happen, the bad things to bikers...they do.
We are run off the road, cursed, bumped, intimidated, harassed. Bumper Bullying should be outlawed. It's dangerous. This isn't shoving a pimple-headed pubescent in a gym locker. It's just as adolescent and completely unpunishable. People, it's a bike and a car...with a life pinned between!
The disregard for life astonishes me sometimes. Do you hear what you are saying? But...at least I'm not a deer. The solution for getting them off the road...Let's SHOOT 'em! Duck, duck, bush.
