    First one was very mild, second one was your own fault.

    I haven't read all of the comments but you look like an absolute fuckwit revving your bike that much for an extremely unremarkable event.

    Don't sweat the small stuff and look out for yourself, none of the other cars knew what happened and are just seeing this tosser revving the nuts off his bike while splitting between traffic. It made you look like a cock.

    I like these vids keep em coming.

    This was actually the first time ive 'frozen' in ages. I could see this guy half parked sitting on the breaks from the bottom of the hill so i knew something was coming up - expecting a u-turn or a sudden pull out. When i got closer and i saw the door start to open i assumed he'd hop out and hug the side of the car till i passed (this is what i've seen every other cager do in my modest 4 years road experience). When he leaped out and started dashing across the road i was completely taken by surprise and froze . You hear me get back on the gas (in 4th or 5th ) about 2 seconds after i pass the car.


    ive got 1 other lame video that shows me overreacting again (in front of a cop), i might upload it later

    Do yourself a favour - keep it a secret.

    what if the other cars did see what happened? they'd be thinking "man that biker just got (slightly)cut off and he didnt do anything - what a lil bitch" .


    Whats worse. Looking like a cock or looking like a pussy ?

    Anyone with even a modicum of maturity would see you keep your head level and never give it another thought.

    Meanwhile, all they saw this time was some cockhammer revvning the tits off his bike going 40kph, hope you felt manly.

    the fact that half of the words you use either have "fuck", "cock" or "cum" in them really shows off your high level of maturity. Im 19 - i am trying to wise up and leave my 'immature' past behind - but some things i.e. people not indicating at crucial times - flicks the immature switch back on and i do something stupid.

    I'm sorry, next time i'll get a run up and max it out past her in 6th - that'll teach her to indicate.

    Didn't use, "cum" in any instance. I see reading comprehension is on par with your skill on a motorcycle.

    Nice one, so on that bike it should be topping out at 45kph! You go girl!
    Perhaps less defensive remarks and more realisation of your own mortality and self-awareness would see you benefiting from this situation better?

    Just a suggestion.

    Your feelings are not your actions. While one leads to the other in an uncontrolled fashion you are quite vulnerable, and consequently so are others around you.

    Let your feelings subside... and then choose. I often choose to suddenly and violently blap the loud handle right next to the drivers' window, and I find this to be an effective communication tool as well as very soothing for my tortured soul. Also, killswitch on and then off next to drivers window is also very effective - normally resulting in a big blue flame at or about the speed of sound.

    edit: I haven't yet managed to make a car screech its tires while attempting to evade me.. Will report back when I manage it!

    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    perhaps less attacking and more constructive criticism will make your messages sink in. Just because Katman is being unusually tame doesn't mean you have to take the reins. I know im new to 2 wheels. I know have much to learn. I know that i occasionally do stupid things. I know my situational awareness still needs a lot of development - i am slowly improving.


    your a complete cunt if you think you can insert 1 line of useless 'wisdom' within a paragraph of swearing and attacking and expect the victim of this assault to take anything out of it. Im talking in general not just on this thread...

    I dont really get angry or 'out of control' (never been in or tried to start a fight in my life). I see it more like; if they dont know they've done anything wrong then a close(ish) call for me, may end up being a fatal strike on someone else.... Anyways those are good words and ill take them on-board.

    I might have to try the killswitch backfire thing out - hope it doesnt make the hole in my exhaust too much bigger

    No it won't. It won't teach her anything, she'll just think you are a cock. Just calm down. Assume all car drivers are idiots trying to kill you and ride accordingly. No point getting wound up. Revving the engine is such BS anyway, like they care, or even hear it. And stebels suck arse IMO. Let it go. People don't indicate, fact of life so deal with it.

    I've got the immature switch, usually flicks when I see a boy racer and I do stupid stuff. But that is why I ride a bike. Great buzz. But don't get wound up about anybody else, it's not worth it.
