They must have been pissed off!

[kels]

I hope that I'm not the only one that when a cage pulls out on you...drop a gear, over take...look the driver in the eye and give him/her the finger (fully gloved of course).

Seems the guys in the car didn't appreciate me being pissed at them so they tried to catch up. They were about to pull into the Mobil on Ash Street and one of the silly bastards through their cell phone at me (which missed and smashed on the road) So me being naughty as I am...gave them a friendly beep and gave them the finger yet again!

My question is...Am I the only one to have a cell phone thrown at them?

[Keeper]

I don't know about all you, but I get road rage very fast now days, there is only three things that really get me going;

1. Slow people holding everyone else up - this is fine, UNLESS they start hitting the gas on passing lanes or where it gets safe too pass, that really gets me fucked off, usually I will pass them and slow down to force them to slow a little and let others past. Cops should bust down on this, it causes people to start overtaking them when it is unsafe IMO.

2. People who have no respect for other road users, they might cut you off, pull out in front of you dangerously etc, sure we all make mistakes from time too time, but other people shouldn't have to be put in a situation where the only thing stopping them from hitting you is their ability on the road, as a direct result of your incompetence.

3. People who have a close encounter with you (especially on a bike), and as a result of them not noticing you, not judging how fast you were travelling etc, they get upset and give you the fingers/beep. Usually this is someone with their friends/family in the car and are just trying to make the almost incident you just had look like your fault.

Anyway there goes my rant, sorry, had a van stopped at the front of the lights pull across to stop me lane splitting the other day and closed to knocked me off, what he would have achieved I don't know...

Lol Doubt it Kelsta. Have had a full beer bottle thrown at me from a neighbor once. Apparently he took a dislike to the volume of my exhaust though I never rev it up hard or ride loony in my own nieghborhood out of respect for those around me. Unfortunatly for him it landed in my lap without breaking so I did a trip around the block and threw it back.

Lol threw it back through his livingroom window and it smashed against his tv and stereo. Would not have had the same effect if it was empty, and I never did like the taste of beer. Exspecially not Coors Light (this was in the states BTW)

It actually takes alot to piss me off. That was just the last straw so to speak on a really bad week for me. (kicked out of school, fired from work, girlfriend dumped me and so on) but this thread isn't about me lol.

I wouldn't have messed with 3 or 4 big pacific islander males (or was it females?) either. Would have looked for the SimCard though lol. Have some friends back in the states I havn't talked to in a while.

You bet it was stolen. Why else would they throw it? Besides, Samoans can't use cellphones - their fingers are too big for the keys. Although now that you can bet at the TAB on your cellphone they'll be trying...

What a horrible sounding place.
Down here everyone is courteous and sweet.
If I want to pull over and pick some flowers on a narrow stretch of road, everyone behind me is happy to stop and wait until I get back in my car and carry on.
If we hit a bird we will stop and take it to a vet if it is still alive.
If someone makes a mistake and accidentally cuts another off they will theatrically slap their head and shrug "sorry". The other driver will wave "that's OK" and everyone will carry on.
If there is a long queue of cars stopped at lights or held up due to a sports event and they see a motorbike coming up behind them (because we are always checking our rear-view mirrors down here) the whole queue will pull over to make it easier for the bike to filter.
If a vehicle is stopped on the side of the road and clearly broken down, or even if the driver is just changing the tyre, no other vehicle will go past without stopping to offer assistance. Oh what parties we have had on the side of the road while helping or lending moral support to a breakdown - especially when someone breaks out a fiddle..................!
We don't have any of them m-o-t-o-r-w-a-y things but I'm sure they will be fun when we do.

True though... everyone cocks up on the roads and if you get agro at them they'll just justify it to themselves.
Yes, the buggar should have been more careful, but if you're okay enough to smash their mirrors off then there probably wasn't any irreprable(sp?) harm done.
Cause and effect. They make a mistake and get on the wrong end of an irate biker. Next time out, they've got a big chip on their shoulders for bikers, and then we all suffer the bad rep... and cops start victimizing riders... and ACC levies go up... and fines... and so on, and so on...
I say this:
STOP THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE, PLEASE! THINK OF THE CHILDREN! :finger:
Oh whatever, do what you feel...

I've had a beer bottle thrown at me, I was lucky enough to see it coming, and was just able to duck out of the way.

I had one or two icecreams lobbed at me, and one pot of KFC coleslaw, which I was lucky enough to catch, and was kind enough to place it back in the rubbish bin. The rubbish bin was shaped exactly like the toyota from which the pot originated.

All I've had thrown at me is beer bottles. Most have missed, but have been nailed with a half full one and drenched before too. Was not terribly impressed.

Being married to a Samoan gives me certain priviledges (I'm a white whitey). Although I do get a little pissed sometimes at peoples jokes about Samoans coz they're really not that bad (at least down here in Wellys), you had every right to go round the block pick up a brick and throw it back at them! It's customary to return the gesture.

I've had run ins with PI's, Maoris, Chinese, damn near about all kinda people and there's one constant - I managed to piss them all off. The good thing about having a Samoan family is that 7.5 times outa 10 they're on your side.

Lol, as idb said, only in the NI would this happen. Although i have had a lady throw her handbag at me. I almost fell off the bike when I saw the car behind me drive over the bag and then pull over and start an argument with the lady. I even got to go back and be part of the conversation where she wanted me and the driver to go halves in paying for everything in her handbag like her 2 cellphones, PDA, makup and all that other shit.

It got even funnier when she was charged by the police and we got off scot free.

please don't mess with the cagers while they're in their cage. no matter who's right & wrong they have the upper hand(several tonnes). Just remember... other riders may have to pick up the tab further down the road cos some lowbrow now harbours a grudge against motorcyclists...
happy & safe riding 8-)

[Yokai]

Nothing thrown at me but I've had 2 cars (both Boy Racers) pull out on the Thames flats and drive AT me... The first one was in a queue of cars, so I figured that was just the guy not seeing me when overtaking.

The second was on his own. Just pulled out and drove at me... I just blatted the bike down a gear and shot past his line... Very scary though.

My best Road Rage was pulling into my Apartment complex. Just pulling in when the twonk pulls out from a parallel park with no indicator or anything. I stop RIGHT in front of him. Flick the lid up. Get him to wind down his window and say "Hey mate your indicator's not working" all polite like. He's all "Yeah it fuckin' is!" proceeds to turn it on, gets out of the car and checks it - says "SEE?" - I just looked at him and screamed "WELL FUCKIN USE IT YOU CUNT!!!!"

The look on his face - priceless... Especially as I had given him this excuse for not indicating... :laugh:

Very good comment 750Y I completely agree, however there are times when gets too much. Normally I wave (politely) when I ride past after they have pulled out on me, but this time I had, had enough.

I gave a van driver and ear full on my way home today.
i was going into the turning bay to turn right across traffic, and this van right at the last min pulled into the turning bay did not even check his mirrors or indicate.

gave him the WATCH WHERE YOUR F%#KEN GOING. YOU CUT ME OFF YOU OLD C&%T

[Sniper]

I had a close one today. Admittedly I was in a cage but would have been fucked if I was on my bike.

On my way to the clinic to have a circulation check on the cast and as I was turning right into Colombo st, some old dipshit in an Isuzu Mu decided to turn left into Colombo st. Now its pretty common knowlege that this stain should have waited for me before turning but off he goes anyway. I had to slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop blocking off 3 lanes of Bealy ave while tooting melodiously in his direction. So he stops blocking off 1 lane of bealy and stopping me from turning into Colombo.

Anyway, a quick wave, nod, toot and yell went on and made him move off at the grand speed of 20kph. Guess where he turns into? The fracture clinic! The poor guy must have shat himself in technicolour when I parked next to him because ran inside before I even got out the car.

Was great to sit next to him and say "Didn't see me huh? Thats OK, I ride a motorcycle and if I was on that you proberbly would be in the process of being questioned by the police now while I lay semi-concious on a stretcher waiting for the ambulance to take me away" Poor guy seemed to find something really interesting in his show after that. I have a lot of respect for old people so I didn't persue the matter too much further, but I think me sitting there stroking my cast and wimpering evry 20 seconds mate him think.

Now that took ages to write one handed

What you can do is (if you have firefox?) Click quote on each one you want to respond to so that it opens in a new window. Go to the first one type your response, then the second one, highlight it right click 'copy' then go back to the first one and under what you typed, right click then 'paste'. Type response then repeat for third, fourth, fifth, so on and so on.

If in IE or some other form of non tab based browser, just highlight what you want to quote then paste it in your response, highlight it again (this time in your response and hit the quote button above the typing window. (second row down 4th option from the left) That sould place tags ike this[QUOTEk][k/QUOTE] but without the lower case k around what you highlighted. Then just type ='username' after the word quote in the first bracket. [QUOTE=kelse k][k/QUOTE] like that but once again with out the lower case k. repeat as necessary.

I'm too much of a pansy for any real retaliation... though I will let off a string of curses and general ranting (albeit in the safety of my own cage, or shortly - inside the helmet).

When I'm on the dumb end of things (i.e the one cutting someone else off), as soon as I realise I give a wave and pull a kind of "Whoops, sorry about that" face. I pride myself on my courtesy and attention when on the road, and so berate myself quite heavily when I do screw up like this.

Having said that, I have found myself getting more frustrated more quickly since moving to Melbourne, and while back in Aucks over Xmas I found the roads much more friendly than I remember... something I thought I would never think or say...

I usually tend to knock on the window. Use a threatening body manner, usually that puts the shits up someone, make sure you wear leathers though. It tends to add menance to the situation.
