Cages Ciggaret smoking??

[Sketchy_Racer]

It has just occured to me how annoying this is.

I was on the way home from Pie Cock to kapiti, and once i got into the 50 kph area i opened up my visor to let a little bit of air through (as you do)

anyways, the guy in front of me was smoking. (no big deal)

untill he ficked the ash out of the window and it went in my eyes and could see NOTHING!! :weird:

i stopped till i could stop crying.... ahem i mean rubbing ash out of my eyes, and tryed to find him and give him a general chat about biffing shit out on the road, but couldent find him.

anyways, has this been a problem for anyone else here? or anything similar?/

Cheers, Glenn

I'm a rabid non-smoker so I hate the smell more than anything. I remember having to exceed the speed limit "a little" years ago to pass a car load of guys who were smoking - it was summer time and the smell coming in through the vents of my car was disgusting! And I hate the ash landing all over me when they flick their butt out the window too!

[inlinefour]

Although it burnt my cheek. I rode up to the side of the car and gave the dude an earfull and he told me to go get ****ed. So I calmly and purposely rearranged his driver mirror onto the road and rode off.:angry2:

[sunhuntin]

ive been hit by a butt at around 100k....hit me in corner of my eye.

im used to flying ash due to my partner being a biker and smoker. when pillioning behind him, i got used to it, lol.

[Sketchy_Racer]

fair enough too IN4!!! man if my SR250 had more power to catch the guy i woulddaa........

and screw getting hiy by a butt at 100kph..... i had a bee hit me in the face at 70 and it frecken hurt!!

Yes I have had a similar experience and its bloody annoying! I had a live butt land in my lap once and by the time I pulled over and made sure I had got rid of it the lights had changed and I lost the perpertrator :angry2:

Haha, exact thing happened to me a while back. A Bumble Bee/Blow Fly hit me directly between the eyes at about 60. Didn't hurt but I was lucky cause if it was flying a tiny bit faster or slower my eye would've been buggered

[sunhuntin]

the butt didnt hurt much...all i saw was yellow....thought it was a bumble bee. took me till i got home [about 5 mins later] to realise it was butt colored and no stripes, lol.

Bloody smokers. Slow, self inflicted, and expensive form of suicide. It affects the health and wellbeing of others in their vicinity, not to mention annoys the hell out of them.

Smoking itself is a hell of an arrogant "thing". Not saying the people that do it are, but it's basically saying "I smoke. I know it's poisonous, and extremely bad for my health, but I'm doing it anyway because I don't care / am addicted. So if you want to be anywhere near where I am, or need to walk past where I am, you have to suck in my toxic fumes, just because I chose to pay my way to cancer."

Not to mention, tobacco and related products are the cause of a fair amount of litter. Go on to the 4th floor balcony of the Canterbury University library (not that I've been there for a while but it instantly springs to mind), and it's cigarette butts for Africa.

Sorry, rant over. :weird:

Disclaimer: I don't dislike smokers, some of my good mates smoke. But my view of smoking itself is no less harsh. Don't ask my opinion of the cigarette manufacturers!

Im a biker, smoker and cage driver. Butts often go out the window, if there is no bike behind me. As for riding in a 100km zone with the visor up and nothin over your eyes... you are all mad!

If i throw a butt out and it hits a bike behind me, i will congradulate them as they kick my wing mirror off!

Overseas many a fire has been lit by some inconsiderate t**t throwing a live butt out the window. Things are getting hotter & dryer each year. Anyone who throws a live butt out the window has an attitude problem, to say the least.:finger:

Ill follow you to kick of your mirror :chase:

[dawnrazor]

This habit doesn't soley belong to cage drivers, I know a couple of bikers that bought open faced helmets so they could smoke on the go, as it where. Never saw the point as anything over a crawl and the wind blast will burn a ciggie down to the butt in seconds, which is better for you in the long run.

I got caught by a stary butt once as described above, around town, so no major damage, caught up to them at the lights and flicked one of my ciggies back at him, unfortunely unlit (gloves, lighter, it was all I could do to get the fag out of the packet in time).
The look of shock and then recognition was worth it though!

So instead of moaning hit them back next time, personally I'd be more worried about loose debris falling off trucks and that sorta thing.

Never really had a butt problem :sherlock: I always seem to get the bee in the helmet, :argh: I managed somehow to have a duck, yes a bloody duck land on my tank and flap like fuk. Thankfully it fell off and I stayed upright, scary but more of a freak thing really. Still makes me wary of the bastards tho.

Similar thing happened to my husband on his way home for lunch recently. He'd taken the bike in and was slowing for our driveway when a magpie flew out from the side of the road, in between him and the handlebars and hit him in the chest and fell onto his lap! He scooped it off his lap and threw it back in the air - bet it wondered what the fuck happened!

I was driving home (sorry - in the cage) on the motorway a couple of weeks ago and saw masses of smoke up ahead - traffic all slowed down - I thought there had been a big accident or something, but in fact it was the bushes between the north and south lanes on fire. I was very quick to get out of the righthand lane! I can only think it was due to a carelessly discarded cig butt. This was right by (just north of) the Churton Park over bridge - I keep meaning to look to see what the damage was when I go past, but I'm usually too busy watching other things.

think i was wearing sunnies...dont rightly recall, lol. all i know is it gave me a hell of a fright. but then, anything hits me at speed i get a fright. first time a bee hit my knee i damn near fell off the back! LOL.

[SVrunner]

Had a couple of butts come at me but lucky they did not hit me.
Have had a mate get hit with bird that split his visor clean of helmet.

[Grahameeboy]

Why don't cagers just use their ashtrays..........oh sorry don't want to de-value cage.....even pedestrians chuck their butt ends on road when there are plenty of bins for said purpose so guess it is an attitude thing....so much for Green Green NZ eh?

I conglatulate myself when I hit a bike behind me with a ciggy butt. 10points for body hits, 50 for helmet, 100 for inside visor. And minus 60 for groin shots. Im not made of stone.

Whine... bitch... moan... complain...
"It was the car driver's fault! It was the car driver's fault!
He pulled out at the intersection and scared me - so I smashed his mirror!"
"She didn't indicate to leave the carpark - so I smashed her mirror!"
"I got overtaken by a car - so I smashed his mirror"
"I've got pimples and my girly won't sleep with me - gonna go smash some mirrors - must be a car driver's fault"

C'mon people - take a bit of responsibility. Watch out for car driver and accept that they are out to get you - what are you hoping to achieve by smashing their vehicles?
"Oh! I'm so sorry for cutting you off like that. Now that you've smashed my mirror off I have finally seen the error of my ways."
Yeah, right. More like:
"Bastard MOFO bike riders! I'm going go mow some of them down next time I see 'em"

Put your visor down, use your air vents - that's what they're there for

What you don't need is a ciggy butt landing where a lot of things land, between your legs on the seat. End up with a nice hole in your seat or a shrink wrapped willy if wearing synthetic trousers. :angry:

I remember once overtaking a stock truck on a left hander and was just alongside as he was going into the corner when a mountain of cow shit came out the side all over me. Can't see much when your world turns a greeny brown colour in an instant. That was before collecting the crap became compulsory.

Not much fun and what a mess. Couldn't stop for awhile and not much I could have done anyway, except maybe find a drain to roll in. The stuff dried solid all over my gear and bike and I felt like shit and looked like one too.
