Texas Sport Bikers Condemned for Group Gathering to Raise Motorcycle Accident Awareness
Posted on Aug 01, 2011
Motorcycle enthusiasts may have noticed news reports earlier this summer that chastised sport bikers who briefly closed down a major Texas expressway. The bikers sought to call attention to a fatal accident that sadly claimed the life of a motorcyclist there two years previously. A major Texas daily newspaper basically characterized these sport bikers as self-centered, callous and reckless drivers dangerously seeking confrontation.
For comparison, you should note that reckless car drivers cause accidents that close down this very same freeway almost daily during rush hours. News reports describe these traffic snarls, but don't degrade the auto drivers who caused them. And news reports laud bicyclists who stage group rides for consciousness raising or charitable purposes even though they may similarly close down busy roadways.
So what is it about a motorcycle rider that attracts such negative attention? Granted, the Hell's Angels may have made outlaw status their badge of honor. But authorities recognize that they represent but a small fraction of the motorcycling community. In fact, recent years have seen a marked increase in middle-class, affluent bikers. These sport/recreational bikers are no more likely to engage in callous or dangerous behavior on their bikes than while driving the luxury cars that probably occupy the other sides of their suburban garages.
