Haters

[rachprice]

Today I encountered my first bike hater on the road, I was cruising up Riddiford st Wellington and just slowly, (honestly!) split my way up to the front of the traffic lights as I usually do and as I pass (slowly) a white van I hear 'IDIOT!'. Well I just chuckled to myself and thought he is just jealous because he has to wait in line haha.....I honestly didn't do anything out of the ordinary that would warrant that but oh well.
Anyway turning off and another set of lights and I hear incomprehensible angry yelling out the window as the white van drove past......
Man some people really need to lighten up!!

You sure it wasn't his wife abusing him when she caught him perving at your ass?

[rachprice]

hahaha whatever! No!

[R6_kid:Me]

He's just jealous that a hot chick can ride a bike and yet his mum won't let him even get his licence!

Yep Wellywood seems to have more than it's fair share of dickhead car drivers.

Wasn't there a punk band of that name?

sheeiit, If I remember rightly they were all under 20, which would make them about 50 now.

Haters are everywhere. I once walked slowly out of the car park of a shop in central Wellington. Some moron behind me in a grey Toyota took exception to this and honked his horn. I calmly turned around and gave him the universal symbol for f u. This riled him up so much that he drove back and forth in the street shouting obscenities. He even got out of the car and asked me to "come here" in a loud voice. I would have, if I had not been in the company of women and children who may not have liked to witness an outpouring of blood. Don't let haters get to you, just feel sorry for them because they must be having a really bad day...
I lane split all the time on the bike and have had nothing but love for that though...

And the Internets wins another champion.

Please note I did not say who's blood. For all I know he would have beaten the crap out of me. The point is it may very well have gone violent if I had been alone. There are haters everywhere and of course the best thing to do is ignore them. It is just sometimes very hard to do.

I've gotten used to the abuse I get from cagers. They seem to be at their worst when they're stuck in traffic and I ride past. It's their fault for being in a cage during rush hour traffic.

[caseye]

Course it's their fault! did you or i make them get into their car in the morning?
Did they make a conscious decision to take the car,? not a bus? or their other means of transport? Oh yeah thats right, they don't have a motorbike!
Soooo lets eee we will simply HATE everyone who owns a motorbike and who rides past us at sensible speeds leaving us to stew in our own juices in ques.

[Skyryder]

Like getting shitty at a biker is gona make the traffic move faster. That's the mindset of these fuckers. Ya know ya winning when ya in front. One of my many mantras on these occasions

What's brassing me off lately are the truck and car drivers as well as passengers that flick their cigarettes out the window. I have copped a few in the chest and one in the neck between my helmet and collar. Would have rather been stung by a bee lol

Makes me even more pissed off as I'm also a smoker and always consider who is behind me....
