View Full Version : The Bird and being special
Genie
8th January 2011, 20:45
Today I got to experience what many in bigger cities have experienced.
Today I saw something I had only ever read about and couldn't quite believe.
Today some male in his people mover got grumpy at me and flicked me the bird as I travelled past him.
I rather think he would have preferred to be on the bike, than in the people mover with the wife and kids, towing his pop-up trailer.
I think he wanted to feel the freedom of riding one's bike along various highways and byways.
I think he hadn't had sex for a while.
What ever his reasons I was shocked at his appalling behaviour and in front of his children. A terrible example to the next generation he has bred.
As I'm travelling along a country road with a speed limit of 100k's I come up behind a line of three cars and we're all now travelling at 50k. Thankfully I'm on my motorbike and being Nelson roads the two vehicles in front of me pull over to the side so I'm able to ride past without crossing the double yellow lines. All legal and travelling at about 80k. I come up behind family-man-on-holiday and I think hmm, yellow lines finishing, no on-coming traffic...wait, wait...go. accelerate past, come up to his window and this hand comes out with this finger sticking up!!!! Really, WTF, he holds up traffic and then gets irate because he is overtaken.
Me, being me, I smile, wave and yell out "have a nice day".
Now one would think this would be the end of it....but no. Two K's down the road and I'm at the lights and here he is on my right, and starts abusing me!
Fuck, this is gettting scarey, I'm only little, he's in this big people mover and he's angry at me. He starts his rant about do I think I'm special and do I have my own rules for the road. Hmmm, maybe I do, I'm on a motorcycle and there are certain things a motorbike can do that a car can't. I replied, yes I am special, smiled nicely and told him to have a nice day, lights changed and I could ride off. At this stage I'm freaking a bit more as he starts to come over to my lane, right, this is Richmond not Auckland....wtf is this man on. Meanwhile wife is staring straight ahead and the kids have their noses stuck to the windows, all looking down on me. Thank god for throttle....got away from him.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Too quick, the bastard's back, sitting on my arse at 70k and I'm like, stay cool girl. Turn-off ahead....go faster, turn and ..... he goes the other way, flicking the bird again....me I wave.
Really, what was the point of his aggression? What has he acheived? Me, I played it over in my mind as to whether I rode in a dangerous manner and all I get is.....what a wanker!@*&^%

Heh I get the jitters when anyone flicks the finger, but a man and his kids, that sux... next time that happens, find somewhere to stop where he can't, and ring *555 tell them you just noticed a car & trailer, kids not belted in and man hitting his wife while driving... that will stuff his day up~!!

Just be happy in the knowledge that while you were out enjoying yourself and he was stuck driving a domestic dray, he got himself so wound up that he was probably still pissed off when you were chilling out starting on your second drink.

Just getting even...not shitty ;) because basically your saving those kids from a father that 1. Can't concentrate while driving, 2. Behaving badly in front of kids. 3. More than likely tail gating et etc
Often being nice can be patronizing, and those that can get shitty over nothing are the worst ones to acknowledge, best to pretend you didn't see it.. him!

You poor thing. I haven't been on the receiving end of abuse too often, but I hate it when cars get driven right up ya squeeker 'cause you're never quite sure whether it's deliberate intimidation or they're off in lala land.
Must admit that although since riding I've really tried to curb my penchant for wanting to retaliate, my best line is to pick the moment to pass not even giving them a sideways glance (they're beneath my dignity to look at), then leave them stuck in a queue and hope like hell that whatever direction I choose to go in they won't follow.
It has crossed my mind to get in front then wave my bum in the air at them (which I occasionally do when I get numb-bum anyway), but always worry that that would be the one time I'd screw up and end up plastered on the road in front of them to run me over...

8th January 2011, 21:26
I get this all the time, I think having a very loud exhaust doesn't help, as I think it freaks cage drivers out when I pass them ( I know it has freaked me out when a loud bike has whizzed past me! )
Worst one I got was when I rode past a mum pushing her baby in a pram on the footpath, I was accelerating hard and I guess she thought I'd wake the baby or something, I looked in my mirror and saw her shaking her fist at my and giving me the finger with the other hand and could see her mouthing all sorts of swear words at me, lol. Also passed a couple of hogs on the motorway doing about 180, got the same response you got!

Geezer sounds like a complete and total twatting wanker. Obviously the missus finished putting out years ago, he has nads the size of water melons and needs to get his 'Alpha Male' out before his pants explode......tosser.
Ok, stop thinking about your riding skill, ther ewill be plenty of people on here who will 'right your wrongs' on that front. You did fine, you simply met one of the worlds wankers.
Now, I am in Nelson over Auckland Anniversary weekend, get some details and it the prick is still in town I will find his tent and run through it nude at midnight. I will also nick all his wifes undies, take pics of them and put them on Facebook with the album title "All the boys in town have been in these, but hubby got no chance"

Nah he has to be your average controlling jerk who spotted you were a chick on a smaller bike and didn't like the fact that a lowly woman was above him (passing him like he was in the way) on the road that day, wife staring straight ahead tells a tale ('i aint gettin involved in this, it's your turn to feel his wrath') truth be known she prolly copped it later just cause he can.

When the Taupo bypass was being built, there were long queues of cars approaching the new Wairakei roundabout, so I filtered quietly down the side. One car driver must have seen me coming because just as I got level with him, he shouted, "Wait your fuckin'"turn". Brilliant... he must have built up a right head of steam! I just thought it was funny.

I can understand why he would feel that way, but he hadn't thought it through. Bikes sneaking past traffic don't actually disadvantage anyone else - the opposite, in fact! If a biker stays in the queue, it actually slows down those behind him/her momentarily.
But you knew that, eh Geoff? :yes:
(Waste of breath trying to explain this to someone like that though... They'd probably be the sort of person that would abuse someone on a bicycle passing them in the cycle lane during 'rush' hour...)

Next time, go right round the roundabout and go back the way you came, then do a U turn further up the road, and filter past him again :D (Repeat optional).

Hey genie, it sure doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. There are wierdos on the road this time of year (holidays) and hopefully they will all crawl back to the cities/caves where they lurk soon. Bummer to hear of this in the Top of the South, but I guess it is getting to be a nationwide thing. Gotta agree with the "no eye contact, just ignore them" brigade. It meay not be worth the aggro if they are drugged up or just immature morons.

Looking back I think my waving and wishing him a happy day just riled him up more. Hindsight is always a good thing. If I was a big stuanch tough guy I'd really given him what for but being the lovely delicate flower I am I wished him well. Should this ever happen again I will ignore. He really was not worthy of my response and he actually did not deserve to have a nice day. He deserves to have is balls toasted like a marshmallow! Nicely skewered and rotated over a hot flame!

this guy who irked you, acheived exactly what he wanted to, he got on your tits, for some time it sounds.
(never said it to a girl before, it maybe has better meaning man to man).
you know what i mean tho.
and you prolly are quite accurate with your profiling, however you made no mention of his hate for the world being due to denial and regret of small weiner ownership.

I've got factory pipes that are loud so as a courtesy to other road users I sometimes, depending of the road situation, back off the throttle a bit as I swoop by.
I get overtaken by loud pipe riders when I'm caged up and don't like it much. I see/hear them coming and stick my finger in my right ear. Drilled out baffles, what a scene. When I was a kid I used to tape cardboard to my pushbike's forks and it would flap in the spokes and go brumm, brummm. Same concept.

Two zen monks were travelling. They came to a ford of a stream that was running high, and the current was strong and frightening looking. An attractive young lady was standing at the ford, looking nervous. She clearly was afraid to cross, but had an important reason to go. Without a word, the older of the two monks lifted her in his arms and waded across the stream, and placed her safely on the far bank. The younger monk looked shocked at this action, but kept his silence for quite some number of miles as they continued their journey. Finally, he blurted out "You know that it is against the rules of our order to have any contact with women. How could you do that?".
The older monk replied "I put her down when I reached the other side of the river. You, on the other hand, have been carrying her this whole way."

Today I got to experience what many in bigger cities have experienced.
Today I saw something I had only ever read about and couldn't quite believe.
Today some male in his people mover got grumpy at me and flicked me the bird as I travelled past him.
I rather think he would have preferred to be on the bike, than in the people mover with the wife and kids, towing his pop-up trailer.
I think he wanted to feel the freedom of riding one's bike along various highways and byways.
I think he hadn't had sex for a while.
What ever his reasons I was shocked at his appalling behaviour and in front of his children. A terrible example to the next generation he has bred.
As I'm travelling along a country road with a speed limit of 100k's I come up behind a line of three cars and we're all now travelling at 50k. Thankfully I'm on my motorbike and being Nelson roads the two vehicles in front of me pull over to the side so I'm able to ride past without crossing the double yellow lines. All legal and travelling at about 80k. I come up behind family-man-on-holiday and I think hmm, yellow lines finishing, no on-coming traffic...wait, wait...go. accelerate past, come up to his window and this hand comes out with this finger sticking up!!!! Really, WTF, he holds up traffic and then gets irate because he is overtaken.
Me, being me, I smile, wave and yell out "have a nice day".
Now one would think this would be the end of it....but no. Two K's down the road and I'm at the lights and here he is on my right, and starts abusing me!
Fuck, this is gettting scarey, I'm only little, he's in this big people mover and he's angry at me. He starts his rant about do I think I'm special and do I have my own rules for the road. Hmmm, maybe I do, I'm on a motorcycle and there are certain things a motorbike can do that a car can't. I replied, yes I am special, smiled nicely and told him to have a nice day, lights changed and I could ride off. At this stage I'm freaking a bit more as he starts to come over to my lane, right, this is Richmond not Auckland....wtf is this man on. Meanwhile wife is staring straight ahead and the kids have their noses stuck to the windows, all looking down on me. Thank god for throttle....got away from him.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Too quick, the bastard's back, sitting on my arse at 70k and I'm like, stay cool girl. Turn-off ahead....go faster, turn and ..... he goes the other way, flicking the bird again....me I wave.
Really, what was the point of his aggression? What has he acheived? Me, I played it over in my mind as to whether I rode in a dangerous manner and all I get is.....what a wanker!@*&^%
