"this thread illustrates all to well the fear and loathing the general public has of bikers,"

Not true at all! this thread is specifically about people who don't wear helmets. I fully concur with you about the very bad driving behavior of motorists and I even helped put together a website to go after those drivers - http://www.penbiped.org/incidentreport.html

You are right, there is a huge influx of inexperienced motorcycle riders now. But a few years back the average number of motorcyclists dying countrywide was about 1000 and this last year it was 4000. There is more going on than just an influx of new riders.
