In the interests of safety I've had to keep both hands on the grips on those occassions but it hasn't stopped me from turning my head to yell abuse at them. Only trouble is they can't hear (even though my voice sounds loud inside my helmet); yelling is still quite satisfying though...
i have on several occasions. only one i really recall was the chrysler that gated both myself and then my riding buddy. i flipped the bird and got a cheerful wave in response... maybe he thinks i enjoy having my ass ridden like that?
normally i just make sure i get eye contact and slowly and deliberately shake my head.

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
Iv'e found that other Road Users no matter how hard they try, cannot see Motorcyclists very well even if your ride a
BIG BLACK BIKE WITH MULTIPLE BLAZING LIGHTS.
That is Untill you give them the Finger.
Nope not that finger
No not that finger either
Yep thats the one
Only then do they see you instanly!
Usually repling with a friendly wave of their own.
Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud.
After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.
Bin there done that. A fat twat in a flash car just about put me into the metal barrier in the middle of the motorway during rush hour traffic on my way home one night....cars in front beside and following closely behind.![]()
I beeped and was yelling (actually screaming) and waving my arms around and I did have lights on and a bright red jacket but he kept on coming acrossso just as he got within kicking range I swung my foot out with all my might in a last ditch effort to avoid being punted across..Left a pretty good dent in his rear side door too!
...luckily had my big shit kicker motocross boots on so didn't feel anything really and was thankfully cogniscent enough to not bin the bike while I was at it.
He gave me some filthy looks, clearly some profanity behind his closed window and signalled me to pull over. Clearly he thought he was gonna have a go at me and get my 'details' for insurance purposes.
I didn't notice until I'd stopped and removed my helmet that there was a big burly guy (who saw the whole thing) and had pulled over also. Just as Mr fat arsehole blind wanker got out his car all revved up lovely big burly man had made it to me and was very quick to tell the big fat wanker that he was at fault and if he thought I was liable he was shit out of luck as he and his other BIG BURLY passenger were prepared to play witness on my side. He told the guy he was lucky I was not injured and to get back in his car and go. With that the fat wanker went bright red and got back in his flash (well dented) car and pissed off.![]()
An absolute knight in shining armour that Big burly man was...what a HERO! He even took some time to check me over make sure I was ok and even offered to chuck my bike on the back of his truck to give me a lift. I was pretty shaken but declined the offer and rode home rather sedately
Thanks again Lovely Big Burly Man.
You married him though surely?
Yep, the whole, I am not really in control, reaction as a result of too much ardenaline has to be expereinced!
Me, pillion at the time, painting my nails as you do, got one hell fright as my helmet connected with him up front. Dickhead driver from non-English speaking part of the world (not asian I have to say) was about to enter the Mt Wellington/Panmure Highway, by the golden arches in Auckland. We met him coming up the free left turn for us about to head into 3/4 lanes of oncoming traffic!
Couple of angry bikers encouraged him to reconsider. Unfortunately for him he could not control his reversing vehicle so well, to avoid out of control reversing car him in front dropped the bike left, raising my right foot from the peg.
I gave an almighty boot, foot down type! You know heel in! Max strength, and felt the impact right up to my hip! His car was a sorry excuse of a vehicle, my dent did not count really
We were on our way to Paeroa - Battle of the Streets. Felt it all day. Mind you, to be fair, my bum was the most unhappy part of me when we got home.
*mutters about so called pussy pad excuses for pillion seats on Harleys*
Should be banned!
When a cage pulls out in front of me or something the like,i just give the sideways nodand they seem to get the picture,You can see them sometimes saying "i did see you i was just moving out to get a better view " lol

Wellington, me doing my bit for international relations:
I was stopped a the front of an intersection near the Beehive, as a motorcade of Chinese diplomats drove past in dark cars and a fancy bus, masses of police. I think it was actually Hu Jintao or whatever the fucktard Chinese leader's name is.
The intersection had been closed by police riders, and I was at the front of the queue right near the motorcade.
I waved both arms in a big "look at me" to attract the attention of the Chinese diplomats, and as their cars cruised slowly past I gave them a big double finger, one proud Fuck You finger on each black-gloved hand. A good number of them looked back astounded and shocked, the rest emotionless but eyes wide open.
If I had done that in China I would have been arrested and perhaps executed, after all they execute people there for wearing yellow Falun Gong t-shirts in Tiananmen square.
I was anti-chinese government at that moment because the previous day they had ejected a journalist from a press-conference for writing anti-goverment stuff.
I know it may have damaged NZ-China relations and kiwi business, but fuckem.
Amazing I wasn't talked to by our boys in blue, for offensive behaviour. I don't know how they missed it.
Determined to kill my bike before it kills me
