Her color was beautiful, her exterior body was beautiful even her tires were beautiful . It was not until I walked out for my mid morning class that I saw her. There will be times where chunk of parking on the right and left are unoccupied and the only car that would be able to park is a smart car. The same deal in San Francisco which finding parking is like finding gold. I have driven to parking lots of Wal-mart and if you ever been to Wal mart you just know how parking spaces can be so rare and when I "found" a good parking space there is this bike taking all that room which really only needed half. They take up huge chunks of parking space for cars. Between that and the sound of their engines and the backfire, they create a serious noise pollution. Secondly, they set off car alarms as they speed by. But its morning and I really want to do is sleep and knock that motorist of his bike. I sometimes wake up so cranky and when I walk out I see the motorist revving up their bikes like that was suppose to me them look cool. First, they rev their engines at the crack of dawn. They are asshole loud, in two asshole loud ways. My resentment got to such a point were I have fantasied about opening the door and having a motorist crash right through it but then I thought about my car so the idea was scratched off. I would get pissed when they would gracefully glide through traffic. Second, they make me jealous As I wait in the slow stream of traffic, inching forward at a snail's pace, I see them passing though traffic without a care in the world. What if I have to change lanes and don't see them? I feel like I can't see motorcycles until they are right next me and their little lights don't help. They drive up too close to me especially during traffic. Motorcycles in traffic are annoying in two ways. But the real reason I don't like motorcycles can been summed up three strikes: noisy, reckless and park hog. I am afraid of falling off or getting side swapped by a semi truck. Then reality started settling in as I grew up. I could picture myself riding it and experience the freedom. As a child I thought they looked amazing and so liberating, I had one time thought of riding one when I grew up. I have had this prejudice towards motorcycles for a while now.
