I agree that the state shouldn't have to pay for them, but I also don't know how common that actually is.
why do you give a shit if I want to risk my legs?
I don't ride anymore, but I used to and I miss it.
Motorcycle accidents are a huge source of state leeches. I do not know of one single example of anybody who went to the state nuthouse because of psychs.

it's just an opinion. Jesus H. Fucking Christ.
motorcycles are now considered comparable to Mushroooms in regards TO WHAT?
that they should be illegal? or that they can dangerous in the wrong hands? or that they both should be fuckin' used safely?

No, I didn't quit. Do you have any idea how much the taxes on cigarettes are? Not only that but we die beforee we can collect all our soc sec and Medicare. Smoking should be encouraged by the state. They make a profit from it.

There is no way the old fuckhead's actions can possibly be justified. It's already been said in several different ways, but just because the biker broke the law doesn't condemn him to death.

I agree with you on that.
but that could be said about anyone without health insurance or income.
and there's way more of those that don't ride. .
aside from all other points that are screwy with your view on this

Gasoline is taxed and last I heard motorcycles run on gas.

He's not really an asshole though. Around here in the long stretches of back roads, people pass on the double yellow all the time. The only time the double yellow is really ever even acknowledged, is in the city and even THEN it doesn't get much attention. You can pass cops on the back roads over double yellow and they won't do anything about it. We yield to common sense, not strict interpretation of law. Like the fact that the only reason that double yellow exists is for the cars in the oncoming lane because a curve is coming up and they can't see if anyone's around the bend. The biker had a huge straight away to get around them.
If passing on a double yellow makes someone an asshole then practically every single driver around here is an asshole, and if we're all equal, then we're not really assholes. What makes you an asshole on the road is thinking you own it and can do whatever you want. We don't think like this. We just use common sense on the long stretches of back country roads. If you can see a mile ahead of you and it's a full on straight away with the nearest car barely even visible, what the hell does it matter if we cross some arbitrary line? There is no logic to this argument at all. It's just people who have a thing against bikers and pointing to some stupid technicality to suit their own desires to bash the bikers.
That old guy probably passes people on the double yellow all the time.

maybe people can actually have something against the rules of the road being pissed on, because that's how people get into accidents...hence why they are called accidents.
but i dunno, that is just speculation on my part.
there is no logic to motorcycles other than 1: get ahead of all the other drivers on the road.
people in all conveyances do that shit enough already...causes congestion, because they're too stupid to realize if they get ahead of everyone else, you're still gonna eventually get stopped at a red light or hit traffic (because of people like themselves, ironically enough) and then everyone they passed will essentially catch up, albeit a few paces behind. is being a few paces ahead of everyone worth the traffic that that assembles?

Everybody I know who has put on serious bike miles has had to lay the bike down at some point. I put about 50 miles and realized I was totally vulnerable to morons and assholes. They are machines for suicides or idiots.

you also pay taxes/registetion on your motorcycle. Most people have them as toys rather than daily drivers so they're paying for it on top of the car they would have anyways. I bet the government gets much more revenue from motorcycles (not to mention all the speeding tickets) than they pay out to the minority of people who end up disabled.
Idk what to even say to some of your comments...

He wasn't going to cause an accident. He followed the code we all use around here. He was no more likely to cause an accident by what he did just because there was a second line painted on the road. If it had the exact same circumstances but with just the single line, no one would be saying shit about the biker. Everyone would be frothing at the mouth to talk about what a prick the old guy is, minus maybe Zappa.
The technicality of the law in this instance is entirely arbitrary. You pass on straight aways with clear visibility and when you have the room to do so. A line does not tell you whether you have this or not. Judgement does.

I don't. And the double yellow isn't a technicality. There are plenty of places around here where you get a dotted line on your side. There is a reason for them and aside from your safety it is also for the safety of oncoming traffic. Just fucking wait for one. How hard is that? In the city? There are no half dotted lines in a city.
