I guess I mention this only because I found it odd. Mike is right - motorcycling is inherently dangerous - and I have had safety drilled in my head many times so as to lower the probability of accident on my end. Most cyclists I see around here are the same way (and we have a lot), so it struck me as odd that this one was so careless.

Probably just young and stupid. Were you wearing a helmet? Was he? A helmet can save your brain.
