I pissed off a cager today

[Mom]

My usual commute to work this morning.

I negotiate something like 7 roundabouts on my way to work, I was at the last one. I am turning left. 99% of traffic approaching from my right are turning right and dont affect my ability to turn left. Today I saw a chick I work with approaching the roundabout from my left. I know she is going straight through, I was not creeping along, traffic was light today. So I simply zipped around the corner (I was in no danger), applied a reasonable amount of throttle and got on with it. I did check my mirrors to see what kind of gap I left, she was not LARGE in my mirror, so I was doubly sure everything was ok. 20 Metres later I am hauling into my work driveway, she is behind me. I am praking my bike in the designated place, and she zips past me and parks.

I did not even have my helmet off and she was growling at me, I should be more careful, I scared her apparently. I did not think I was doing anything wrong, infact I pride myself in not pissing car drivers off. I made an manouver that I was certain was safe for me, and pissed off a cage in the process.

If I can piss off a cage there is no hope for the gen pop of bikers

Cagers love lane splitting, especially when they are sitting still or crawling!!

Did tell her to harden up or is she hot and you didn't want to wreck your chances?

I have no doubt I wind a few up filtering up long side of them in the queues I meet on my way home, but they are always considerate of my need to get back in line approaching roundabouts and the like, I have never been refused entry back into the stream of crawling cars anyway.

I dont filter between traffic often, my commute does not require that, though I have done so when needs must.

What surprised me was the fact that I managed to piss someone off, when I took no risk to myself.

Do you reckon they love it when I crack the throttle when I'm right beside them?

I know I enjoy it.

The question is Mom. Is she hot?

Shock horror, you scary scary Mom you!!!
I'm all for being considerate on the road, not going out of my way to piss drivers off when I'm riding blah blah blah, some people are just so precious! Did she feel better after having her rant at you?

(I think you need to be punished for being such a naughty scary rider, scaring poor sissy drivers like that).

[nudemetalz]

Was she hot looking?

[avgas]

Bloody women. No pleasing them really.

ill quite often move over to let bikes filter through, also will move left on the open road when bike approach so they can pass easier,

So ... you are turning LEFT ...

SHE ... is approaching from your LEFT ... ( But both of you are going to the SAME place ... ???)

AND ... you scared HER ... ???

UNLESS ... your failing to INDICATE as you exited the roundabout, confused her as to your intentions ... and left her ... SCARED ... ???
