If so, please take a driving school if you plan on coming to Wake the Dragon.

Comment from killboy's website:
This A-hole ran up on me @tabcat and was probably no more than a foot off of my rear tire I thought I was hit. When I got off @ the overlook I really thought I was goin gto kick this guys Ass until I got settled down.

Sadly, every dragon run I've been to (6 and counting?) there are always 1 or 2 assclowns who I see crossing the line. I've almost been hit by another S2000 on two such occasions.

What part of STAY IN YOUR OWN DAMN LANE doesn't everyone understand?

I bet it's not that he doesn't understand that....it's the fact that he doesn't understand that he's pushing the car beyond his abilities!

Those pictures are scary! I really hope no one at WTD '05 will do that.

The second picture is pretty obviously "shortcutting" the line.

The first one does look a bit like lack of control.

The 2nd pic scares me the most. I'm (ok, could have been, 'cept the NSR isn't street-legal) on the bike looking at the next corner when, SURPRISE!, there's an @sshole in my lane. Even without contact, it throws off the rider's concentration and the next thing you know, you're on the ground wondering why you locked up and washed out the front tire.

And that's why I don't carry handguns anymore. Legally.

Anybody got a tag number and a friend at the appropriate DMV? You could look him up and then check with Raul to see if he's registered for WTD.

We sure don't need somebody in our group driving like that. We've gotten a pretty good reputation and I know I'd hate to see it spoiled by some jerk that can't understand Don't cross the double yellow line.
