But, I have seen auto drivers "commit" the same "sins" but the WRATH of some of the posters is not with the same level of "hate" I hear about bikers. What goes?
I have come to the conclusion: many people are jealous. They wish they were that fit OR they are afraid of the bikers because they are afraid they may hit them......because they can't see as well or drive as well as they once did.
When I see the bikers, walkers, golfers etc etc, I smile! I am so happy to see anyone, everyone out enjoying themselves and keeping fit and happy. It is not up to the auto driver or anyone else to say what any person can or cannot do IF IT IS LEGAL. Just the same as you cannot tell someone to stop smoking or not eat a big-mac, you should not be so strident about disliking bikers. It is legal...and besides it is good for them. Probably much safer than big-mac's and smoking.

Thank you Suzi!
