What is a munter funka?

[mattian]

I was being followed by a very determined tailgater in a white Hi ace van along Fanshawe street today. Heading onto the motorway going North over the harbour bridge I decided to let Mr. Ahole go, so, I pulled over to the left hand lane (the slow lane apparently) and he followed me, so close that all I could see was his grill in my mirrors. As you can imagine its not a very comfortable situation at between 80-90 ks an hour, but, considering the speed limit along there is 80ks an hour I reckon its the safest place for me to flip him the bird. :nono: I know.... shouldn't have done it, but, he wasn't interested in getting past me, only interested in intimidating me..... anyways, after commuting to and from work everyday for the past 2 years in Auckland city I am quite used to this kind of thing and I don't usually get rattled by it.
He finally pulls along side me and starts yelling.:argue: I can't hear a thing at all but, I am quite good at reading lips. Apperantly I am a "munter funka" does anyone know what that is??

[H00dz]

lol are you sure you didnt cut him off earlier or something

[Gremlin]

Use your bike to get in between some other vehicles, where he can't tailgate you, or disappear through the traffic (don't want him sideswiping you really)...

One set of ideas for those not intentionally being a dangerous twat, whole 'nother set for those that WANT to be pricks

[mattian]

I am positive I didn't cut him off. Its a straight run from my work along fanshawe street, don't even need to change lanes.

I managed to get away with very little effort but, he managed to catch up to me down the other side of the bridge (god knows how) and, when I motioned for him to follow me out on the first exit, towards the motorway patrol HQ, he followed. I thought, good we can have this discussion in the presence of the law but, when I took that turn off he politely declined with some more munta funkers and a middle finger salute

A van isn't as bad as being tailgated by a bloody huge truck. I was heading home from Rotorua doing 79.9km/h (L plate - wah) in a 100 zone, I pull over every 2 or so km's to let people past. This massive truck must've been just a few metres off my ass, totally unnacceptable, and scary.

You shoulda kicked his door in. :2guns:

I am quite good at reading lips. Apparently I am a "munter funka" does anyone know what that is??


Excellent lip reading skills dude :killingme .Someone recently shouted to me that it's Funky in Wanaka. How on earth did he know I'm about to visit the south Island. :scratch:

I know! People are mind readers sometimes. I've been wondering about adding to my skills at tying knots when people have yelled out to me about a 'Flat Hitch'. It's called synchronicity I think.

[Fatt Max]

Maybe he was german and telling you his name.

I had a gentleman tell me his name was Stu Pid-Gunter after I stalled the bike at the lights on my second day out.

Look out for the krauts on the road, they cause all sorts of trouble, ask any people from Poland.

Take care, ride safe and eat pies

[Fatt Max]

....either that or he got his mucking furds wuddled.

Bad, eh!

[devnull]

Just one more reason why handguns should be included in a bike licence...

If they fear for their OWN safety, they might not be such wankers on the road

That is how it should be my friend, good reasoning......:headbang:

I hear you people, I had a lady pull out in front of me at an intersection the other day (so much so I actually had to stop and test my emergency breaking skills!) then had the gaul to give me a filthy look. Stupid woman. Didn't think I could really fuck her up any more than she already was, seeing as she had a wheelchair on the roof of her car. Still didn't give her the right though. Stupid biddy.

[wants_to_ride]

She still had arms obviously, you coulda' done something to those.

Happened to me today mate, it never stops...

Had a guy in a peace of crap car tailgate me today like that guy in the van you were taking about. It’s never happened to me before bit scary the first time it happens! When they don’t want to pass even, jute continuing following. I was a bit rattled from this guy so I did some tight lane splitting to get away and got more abuse for it by other people by then I was even more rattled and I F***’n stalled the bike when the lights changed!

Don’t know if I handled it all that well but you ride and learn.

On the bright side of things though it is amazing all the recognition, comradeship there is out there from fellow bikers, all the waving, nodding that kind of thing. You now I got so many waves from friendly bikers the first time I went out a few months ago I pulled over to see if there was something wrong with my bike (thought that was why every one was waving to warn me of something that had come lose) LOL :niceone:

[true-to-life]

Excellent thread. What a giggle with the fuddled thoughts that people try and yell:innocent: And yep can relate to the comradeship on the road. Very F*!in impressed down here in the great south. Roll on the weekend:rockon:

[Capinure]

Aw this topic is brilliant , hey how do you guys feel about punching the side mirrors in then flooring it , in these situations?

[mrchips]

Was once tailgated by a car load of boi ricers who thought they where cool cos thay could go really fast & keep up with a GN250 in a 50km/h zone, so i just sucked it in pulled over to the kerb. They sped past me with all their fart valve / gear changing might only to get pulled over by a nice police officer just up the road.

I made shure i gave them all a friendly biker wave as i went past.... suckers.

[Dixie]

I had a gentleman try and change lanes into me yesterday:nono:, its funny as I knew he was going to do it before he did. its amazing how the Horn turns my invisability sheild off must get a louder one!
I agree its great all the waves and nods you get from fellow bikers:cool: it seems we are the only ones on the road paying any attention, I must admit riding a bike has also improved my car driving or just woken me up.

[Atlas shrugged]

Funny that, Some for me! I look at what people are doing more than i used to anticipate what they will do more.

[SARGE]

couple old spark plus in the tank bag usually backs them right the fuck off

You think it's bad on the motorbike. I cruise on my bicycle at about 40kph. With bursts up to 55kph and 60kph. Cars and pedestrians alike just pretend I'm not there. I expect everyone to try and kill me, and they do try. It's rare for them to catch me out now. A lady pulled out on me while I was flying through an intersection, I just split down the right hand side of her and knocked on her window while we were at about 50kph, and said loudly "be more careful" and then overtook her hahahaha. She stayed well back after that. Building up to bicycle couriering in December.

when I was a bicycle/motorcycle courier, damn I was crazy. Can't believe I'm still alive. Texmo is worse. Splitting like a maniac on a 125 farm bike with drum brakes hahahahaha. For some reason I couldn't crash that 125 Honda NXR even though it was on original semi knobbly tyres. Used to get the pegs scraping all the time. I used to watch peoples faces when I would trick them into thinking I was going straight through, and then at the last second swinging left so they didn't get a chance to use that "give way to right turning traffic" rule. It was mostly shock due to the fact that I looked like I'd just crashed from the sparks coming off the pedals. That was a sweet bike, only needed a litre or two of oil every 5000k's. 30km/l on gas and I could even wheely it with it's massive 12hp. Used to take it down stairs and jump it at every chance I got. When my parents sold it back to the dealer they commented on how well I'd looked after it for the 10,000k's I'd owned it. Hahahha, if only they knew. Loving the hondas. I miss that bike. Brand new $3500.

Had so many idiots abusing shit out of me while on my bicycle for all sorts of things, one lady told me I was the stupidest bicycle rider she'd ever seen because she nearly changed lanes into me while she was stuck behind someone turning, I was flying past on the right handside of the left lane, and someone was turning left slowly to avoid pedestrians. I knew she wouldn't hit me because cars always leave a bicycle sized gap between them when doing manoeuvres 99% of the time. She drove up next to me while I was turning right and told me that I was stupid and it was my fault she hadn't seen me because I had a black leather jacket on with black jeans even though I had a green bag on with reflectors on the back, and a flashing headlight and tail light.

One recently, major flare up. hahah. Was hooning down a hill, with my arms outspread like i was flying. Then looked back and saw a Holden V8 ute about 100m back, looked ahead and saw the traffic slowing for some traffic lights. The fucking holden hooned up and passed me only to pull in and slam on the brakes so I flew back past him in the small gap on his left and gave his wing mirror a smack with my hand so it bent around. Went through this small town centre in heidelberg had left him for dead. Then was up a few side streets looking for my brothers house hadn't been there before. And who should be coming down the road the other way. A very irate Holden V8 ute driver hahahaha. He pulls over and gets out and starts running to block the road so I can't get past, so I stop out of range of him, he starts swearing at me, I give as good as I get, ask him if he's a happy man, tell him he's a champion and all that. Then he tells me he's going to the cops, so I tell him he's welcome to give them my bicycle's numberplate details. hahaha. He gets back in his ute, I clear off just in case he decides to ram me. You never know what these retards are going to do. What's really sad is that I could see my dad doing the same thing.

[tacos]

hehehe spark plugs are so handy...
and vtec nice goin with the holden, personaly i wuda done worse...
taken it clean off or his door cuda said hello to a nice steel cap...
funni that doors cave in even with these side bars in em...

but they are getting worse arent they??
i mean we got jus as much rites to use the roads...
most of us (all bikers ex or not) respect those buckets of bolts and the combined brain mass of 0.5 grams...

the other day i had a bunch of jackasses try it on...
ther nice honda interga wit all the crap.. and my fzr250...
started to tail me on the motoway jus outa manukau... pulled off at hill rd and he still sits on my bridgestone....

Munter Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munter Munter is a British slur used to refer to a remarkably ugly person, a stupid person, or someone who takes drugs according to wikipedia

Funker could only come from funk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk a popular music style in america.

So taking it to its logical and obsurd conclusion, the driver was calling you a drug taking person who listens to funk?

Or could have a had a really bad grasp of english.
