Strange Cager Behaviour

Gotta be the smell, afterall you are just another big ugly hairy biker who hasn't bathed in a few months? :spudwhat:

They probably thought something was going to fall off the back of your bike!!

**XP@** · 7th March 2006, 10:50

just had a thought... it could be that the last bike they passed was suffering a bit from wind... in which case they were either:
1. ramdomly weaving around the road
2. smelling really bad

Maybe the last bike they followed was a big two stroke. Nobody hangs close to Petal's arse for long !

Maybe they don't want to get sucked into the Hornets vortex.

Actually I have just made my own fender eliminator thats a bit dodgy...could be that looks like its falling off...

You haven't been carrying a rocket launcher strapped across your back or summint???

i have founs about 75% of people will hang back if you pass them.

about 25% of people like to site right up your ass

mostly young
guys and old people. get the odd 4x4 too

had one guy right up my ass in a 50k zone he was even right there in the corners too.
I was even flashing my brake lights and he still sat there. Turned round with one still on the bars
and looked right at him. He got the point them and backed off

Momentum - I have just waved my hand backwards a couple of times and thats worked fine (100%). Feel a bit of a wussl doing it. Now if I get a tailgater I can just nail it and be somewhere else before you can say 'better power to weight ratio than you...prick'.

Never good to have Klingons around Uranus.

And always beware the driver that backs off just after you over took him, he may be just getting a run up . . .

Since most of my passing maneouvres are abrupt, dangerous, and violent I can't say I really understand what you're on about. I might try following a car on the way home to see.

My theory on why cages would back off from bikes is simple... have you seen what a bike will do to your paintwork when you run the f***ers over? The leather/cordura covered ornaments on them are okay, they deform under your wheels, but the bloody bike itself will put the hell stone chip on the bumper. Don't want that. As for scratching the aluminium bullbars, best avoid that.

Perhapse that big, black bad boy of yours sends out a don't mess with me signal, hense they back off and admire you from a distance.

Or your just a crazy passer

**skelstar** · 7th March 2006, 13:22

I am a crazy passer.
I definitely backed off away from you when you were on my bike the other day UB. Noticed that all the kids didnt wave at YOU when YOU went past them on my bike

That's cause I looked all wrong on YOUR bike.
