So I had a road cone thrown at me today...

Fucking nutter cagers.

Riding along,minding my own business, through some roadworksie type (mt wellington quarry) and the guy in the back seat of the car in front of me leans out the window and grabs a cone (at about 40kph) and hauls it in the car..

I back off, this guys obviously run out of P and is probably about to try smoke the cone, when suddenly he decides hes had enough of sharing his seat with his rubbery friend, so he holds it out the window, and turfs it at me with some menacing look on his face. It bounces, and lands in my direct path (ie, middle of the fucking road!)

I had plenty of time to move out, due to nice big following gap, but gargh, I could murder the son of a bitch.

I sped up beside and gave a good bolloxing on the glass window with my new carbon knuckles, ripped the fingers, and he sat there with a sly smile on his face.

Rego is "NT H1S" if anybody feels like having a word if the see him.

I rode about 400k today, and it was a perfect days riding aside from this!

What a f#$kin lowlife shitbag , glad you`re ok and got the rego , I`m sure someone here could get details for you.

This is why I always plan to carry a small bag of P on me at all times, in case I need to calm nutty cone throwing morons down.

Seriously though glad you're ok.....

Lucky you missed the cone. Mrs merv was riding pillion and can assure you they hurt when you hit them. Back when all the roadworks were going on up Kaitoke Hill the place was a goat track and we were coming down on the VFR the part of the road I was on was sealed but had a lot of loose shit on it. I'm riding in the right wheel track clear of shit and lean around a right hander and just managed to clip her boot on one coz it was close to the that side and I'm making sure I'm not running wide onto the centre mound of gravel and stuff. She yelled in pain and got quite a bang from the orange cone.

That sucks dude! Some people can be so retarded. Glad you're ok though

Good on you for noticing and giving yourself a good gap between you and the retarded low lives

Fucktards inc. Wankers like that should be shot! After picking it up at 40k's, the guy would have had a sore arm, those things aint light. Throwing it at you is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever heard of someone doing.

I'd call the cops, even now, after the fact, that shit dont wash.

Those cones are heavy things - good skills to miss it!
Since you've got the rego, are you going to report them? People like this need to see some results from their idiocy.

**peanuteater** · 9th April 2007, 18:37

At least youre ok-theres some real dickheads around-times like that when you wish you had steelcaps on to kick the s.o.b. s door !

**Leong** · 9th April 2007, 19:21

I reckon thats just as bad as the guys dropping rocks from motorway overbridges. It's only luck that someone is/isn't killed. If you'd come off, and there was a car coming the other way....... doesn't bear thinking about. Should be reported - but I suspect nothing will be done

Glad you're OK!!

The guy needs "the book" thrown at him.

Could you describe the car too?

(Just in case. There may be an innocent Mr or Mrs "NT HIS" [I not 1] out there somewhere.)

Its got some fart can on it, black or dark blue color, looked something like a honda. Has something written across the top of the rear windscreen in a graffiti style font. Don't know what it says because its illegible to me!

I've got the time, so tomorrow im going to ride down to the local cop shop for a laugh.

Possibly a "For Sale" sign with mobile number. They do this as a way to try to pick up chicks.

Definitely report him! The coppers are very anti boy racers and their dangerous antics these days!

What I love, is that every moron who does something stupid nowdays, is obviously on "P".

Don't buy into media propoganda much do ya........

**Winter** · 9th April 2007, 21:16

hah, I doubt he was on P, but what you want me to do? Blame his poor upbringing and the fact parents can't belt their kids?

Its just a saying / descriptive term - not meant to be taken litearly.

But then again, you already knew that - didn't you.

Opps, I better stop feeding the hungry trolls.
