To the drivers who throw cigarettes out the window when there is a motorcyclist following them: Fuck you, you inconsiderate bastards. It fucking burns! I would have taken your license plate but I was too busy trying pull over to shake off the cigarette butt stuck in my collar before it gave me third degree burns. So apparently not only do motorcyclists have to deal with cars changing lanes without looking and trying to push us into incoming traffic, now we have to dodge random shit people throw out their windows. Fuck you all! -The Irate Biker

Yes, yes you do. You’re also invisible and silent.
It’s definitely isn’t for everyone.
No, you’re free to run right into that shit all you want. I suggest dodging it though, it does hurt less.
This can happen to people in cars, too, OB. A former prof of mine said she was driving and someone threw a butt out their window and it landed on their car seat and caught fire and she couldn’t pull over because she was in heavy traffic. Anyway, her seat was ruined and she was pretty shaken up about it.
Don’t throw your butts out the window, assclowns!
Flame retardant seats caught fire? Was she driving a Model T?
when I was smoking I popped the butt out thru my cracked window and the bugger whipped back in and landed in my rear seat. no fire but a melted hole in the upholstery. that was the 80’s, so they made it fire retard-ant that far back…..
