Now, see, I'm the opposite (and I've never taken an LCI course yet).

I totally agree about the stop signs - and it's not just momentum, it's control - that issue applies equally to motorcycles and bicycles. Maybe that particular law should be different for two-wheeled vehicles regardless of whether they have a motor.

But from a political standpoint, the absolute worst thing we could do is set ourselves apart even more.

As far as being waved through a stop, that's just DANGEROUS. I refuse to accept it because I don't want to be flattened by a motorist other than the one who's doing the waving, and I don't particularly want to witness that motorist getting rear-ended, either. I will sit there for however long it takes for them to take their right of way.
