Stupidity on the orad is not reserved for rednecks in pickups (like me) or any other category of driver or bike rider. We all display it from time to time.

It's a hard intersection to explain - the best I can say is that he was almost forcing me into the median in that he started out behind me, but because the truck in front of me was going so slow, he actually made the corner faster than I did and came into the lane where I was making my turn.
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.
