Open Letter to Motorcyclists

Dear Motorcycle Riders,
I appreciate your rights to drive on the road, just like everyone else. I believe in your rights to be safe on the road - or at least as safe as you can be with no protection going 60mph down the asphalt (and don't say that you wear all the protective gear, so you will be safe, please). I know that some people drive too close to you and don't always look close enough in their mirrors to see you. If you want loud pipes and believe they keep you safer - have at it.
But when one of your fellow riders cruises up the middle of two lanes, betweens dozens of stopped cars because of traffic jam or line, that guy screws with your whole "oppressed people" argument. That guy thinks that because he CAN drive between all the cars, he is entitled to. Is it because he feels he always gets disrespected by the quadra-wheeled people? I don't know, I don't care. As soon as that guy cruises on by, inches from my door, because he can, he hurts all of you and makes us quadra-wheelers upset and give us our justification for thinking that, at least some of you, deserves all the pain you get. Just because he can, doesn't mean he should - and its illegal. And when that guy not only zips by down the middle but then cuts someone (me) off, missing the front bumper by inches, we really don't like that either.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I have a 4x4 Jeep that I am fairly certain can drive over any grassy median or dirt shoulder, hell, I could even drive into the woods to pass everyone - but I don't. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should or that its legal. We have rules of the road - if you want to be on the road, follow them like the rest of us.
The next time I see a biker cruising down the middle lane, I will scoot towards the middle - just to make it hard. Between my bumpers, the entire lane is mine, don't try to take it from me. I love my Jeep, but I'm pretty sure it'll take a hit from your bike better than your bike will.

I'm just saying, if you motorcyclists want respect from us, you must respect us also.

PS. To the one specific biker who rode up the middle lane and cut me off today - you are lucky - you missed by only a few inches. I'm not sorry I rode your ass up to the gate and I'm glad that the MPs took care of you. And I hope they didn't buy the BS line about how "you didn't know you couldn't do that." Didn't you take the motorcycle test to get your license? I'm pretty sure its in there.
