I AM A BIKER

"

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 were

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.

Repost this around in hopes that people will

understand the biker community.

I hope you never lose someone that rides.

I laughed my heart out loud when the biker that killed my sister got life imprisonment for doing 95MPH in a 30 zone, he didn't see her, he was to busy showing off to his passenger who also died.

I understand the biker community, but I would never have one or be impressed when they pass us "car" drivers at warp speed because it is always the cars fault...... isn't it????

Nice poem though.

theres good and bad drivers, also good and bad bikers, I try to be a good driver, but i'm always learning, so far so good, keep checking those mirrors :D

i am a biker and think the above "poem" is crap..... treat everyone like a complete idiot and that they do not see you at all and you will be fine, bimble along and something bad will happen.

fit hid lights, take an advanced riding course and that will save u more than anything

i do get where ur coming from tho...............

treat everyone like a complete idiot and that they do not see you at all and you will be fine, bimble along and something bad will happen.

Agree with that, actually applies to cars and being a pedestrian as well as bikes........
