Default Lane crossing this past weekend



Come on guys, lane crossing (especially of that magnitude) just isn't worth it. You're also giving us terrible publicity right before a big meet. Please don't do this. Our car loves curves, don't straighten them out!

I just came over here to post that pic. That kind of driving can get someone killed and is simply unacceptable. Nothing makes me more livid than seeing pics like that. Just for a moment, imagine what would happen if there were a bike just out of view, hidden behind the hill.

I certainly hope these folks are not planning on attending DBR, or any other organized event.

I'm a Killboy fanatic since I'm a local and see a lot of friends on there. I also happen to ride motorcycles a lot, and shots like this scare the hell out of me. So I came here and posted it as soon as I saw the update.

I just spent some time last weekend trying to convince another S2ki'er that this is not a good way to drive, even if you can see and nobody is coming the other way. It's just not worth the risk and looks bad overall. Terrible form for car drivers and motorcycle riders alike.

I've asked Darryl to post more pictures of these a$$hats over here. If they're license plates are legible...

Unfortunately it only takes a few asshats to give the whole community a bad rap. New people attending this meet need to know that this is completely unacceptable and if others in the group see you do it you WILL be called out. As you can see Darryl doesn't mind calling folks out either. Bottom line, don't do it. I for one have seen way too many of Darryl's pics lately involving lane crossing and S2ks...

WTF?!?! These morons need to sell their cars and buy Fbodies! The S2ks are well respected on the dragon for courtesy and driving skill. If the drivers are on this board they need to man up and apologize.
