I personally don't mind motorcyclists as long as they don't act like morons and make sure everyone in the world knows they have some stupid plastic sport bike.

Queen of 420.
I particularly hate how motorciclists ride their bikes with: pick two.

* The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents.Unless you mean as in boasting about having one, then yes, totally agree with you.
I agree about the impractical bit, but at least not all of my licenseless friends will be asking me for rides all the time.
