Big purple backfiring van up my arse...

**Str8 Jacket** · 16th August 2006, 19:03

Yes folks, its exactly what it sounds like.

I was riding over Aro hill (Raroa Rd) toward town when a big purple van came up behind me, I noticed them immediately as they were making the van backfire really loudly every few seconds and I thought someone had had an accident. They started tailgating me and cotinuing with the backfiring until the lights on Abel Smith. So I tap on my brakes a few times, tried politely indicating to them to back of but they started to get aggresive. 3 or 4 times they tried to intimidate me by driving right up next to me and yelling obscenities out the window and then they'd go back to sitting up my arse. Quite rude really, I have a boyfriend....
When I got to the lights they drove right up and hit my back wheel so I couldnt move. There was a red light and they started beebing there horn and revving shit out of there shit van. I was feeling a little vulnerable so as soon as I had the chance I swung into a carpark on the side of the road and they backfired past yelling something out the window... I called *555 and reported them. I will lay a formal complaint tomorrow but if anyone can help me out their numberplate is DBT771, I wouldnt mind knowing who they are.... *nudge nudge, wink wink*

A***holes

That sucks, I aggressive drivers on road, although Queenstown's pretty sweet. I always just accelerate to mach 4, that shuts em up pretty quick. (I hear you people laughing- fxr. mach 4. ha. I'll have you know they're pretty quick at 11,000rpm with only 60kg to carry)
Anyhow, sorry I can't help with the 'nudge nudge, wink wink', but hope you don't develop a complex about purple vans now.

I feel sorry for you Hels that is incredibly aggressive behaviour on their part. I'd suspect they were suffering some sort of substance abuse to be so full of bravado. Glad you got out of it without a scratch.

Failing to stop at the scene of an accident - $400.
Driving without due care and attention - $250.
Pissing off a couple of hundred bikers - priceless.

If you can find out where they live just have Colapop and FJ (seeing they offered) sneaking around at night and taking the valves out of all their tyres could be priceless enough.

in a way years ago, i was sitting at some lights in Auckland all by myself waiting for them to change, and all of a sudden i feel this bump from behind. This clown had driven straight onto my back wheel. I get off my bike and have a look for damage and ask him what the f was he thinking, and he replys sorry mate i didnt see you there. Unbeleivable! Couldn't beleive it myself, didn;t really no what to do. Anyway, hope you give those fellas some of there own back.
