The Faces

I commute on my bike daily since I sold my car before moving out to Phoenix. And I have noticed a big change in my lifestyle as well as my road presence through other people. I'd like to say that I am a safe rider for the most part. I ride as if I am invisible to every pair of eyes I make contact with using my own eyes. As well as the eyes that don't even take head to my somewhat ominous presence. I say Ominous because of the people who do notice me as a motorcyclist.`Maybe the looks wouldn't be so fervent if I wasn't riding a bright orange sport bike around town. But I can feel people staring at me and instantly my head auto pilots away from the road and on to that piercing gaze I'm sure I can feel more than spider man can feel his spider senses. And they are not curious looking faces. They are uh... Lets say menacing faces. Not like this...



But more along the lines of this...


It makes me feel as if I have done some sort of wrong doing. And then I begin to question myself. Did I maybe...? I don't know about other riders out there if they happen to get this gaze. But I do every day I go out not just once but many times. Whether I'm on my way to work or just going around the corner to the store. Every once in a long while things will mix up a bit and I will get some sexy faces. Not like this...



But like this.



A pleasant sight = ) Thats about it. Its rare but every once and a long long while I do get the occasional meat head guy yelling at me to do a wheelie.


"Com'on man! throw that front end up!"

But I don't comply. I just keep on riding. Well, that is something I have noticed allot since I have started commuting on my motorcycle. Let me know what you have noticed in your years of riding!
