BLOODY CAGE DRIVERS

[Quasievil]

Bloddy f*#k en DAmn C*nty Cage driving Mother F*#kers

I ride home two days in a row in heavy traffic, so take the (in my view) right to travel in the middle of the traffic on the white lines to avoid the wait, the traffic thins out and NEXT SEC a DICKHEAD mother F*#ker is right up my arse trying to take me on the INSIDE!!!! two days in a row different cars same tactic!!
Whats with this shit all about, on tonights event I slowed down to the drivers window he rants and raves I tell him "if you follow me that close again you will loose your F n mirror" so the Prick moves to the right trying to force me into oncoming traffic or hit me, I brake he moves in front, me now behind and unfortunetly my rage took over and I went beside him and kicked his mirror clean off. I know that was bad of me but the prick was deliberatly trying to hit me or push me into other cars so F*#k him !!!
I passed cars at probably 30 kph they were 15 kph, so why would someone have an issue with being passed by a bike, and why would he take it so bad to justify trying to hit me ?
Im seriously pissed
anyway thats my riding day, how was yours ? uneventful I hope.
I think I will travel a different route for a while on the way home in case the plonker still has issues, which Im sure he does with having to by a new mirror
I suppose Mr plod will turn up at the door step soon as well.

Good on you mate I dont know what the fuck is up with the cages some of them will let you go and others are real dick heads.

Self Defense mate!!

I had one of those HUGE MOTHER ******** cranes just turn in to my lane! I was just infront of his rear wheels with a car too close behind to exit that way, so just nailed it through the closing gap in front! Bit big to tangle with them Cranes!

Someone mentioned they don't commute/ride? on their bike this time of year due to the number of crazys. Judging by the experiences NC and you have both had, I'd say it's probably a good idea.

Maybe spud can correct me, but it's trying to hit someone attempted murder/assult with a deadly weapon or something.

He's lucky he got off with just a broken mirror.

[Coyote]

Why, why are people so damn stupid? That guy desearved a hell of a lot more than a broken mirror. Should've kicked one of his brake lights in

[Motoracer]

I say, good on ya Quasie! Though, you'll probably have to pay the price if he did get your rego.

Still, you did the right thing, in my books.

P.S. I'am glad that he didn't cause you to have an accident. Be careful mate.

Quasi - how do you manage to kick off the mirror without knocking you and your bike off balance? I've often wondered about it.

I sympathise, I travel approx 80 km's to work each day and all of it is pretty much is motorway travelling, and I see a lot of shit driving. I consider myself both a good rider, and driver when I take the cage, I also try and be as considerate as possible. It really irks me when others are less than considerate. I rode bikes before I drove cars, and in a perfect world all car drivers should ride bikes, or at least experience them. 2 instances to share from todays ride to work and back.

1. Travelling at 110kms in the slow lane (at 6.15am 110km's is no problem, but why does it feel like you are standing still), 500 metres from the East Tamaki off ramp, 2 Commodores in the middle lane, see a clear run ahead so speed up to pull in front of me, the 1st one makes it with ease, the second one realises he is running out of room, so what the hell I will pull across in front of this biker anyways, forces me bloody close to the red chip, I back off (what choice do I have), then after he is in front, stuff this I say, I blitz past him and cut in front of him (not the best thing to do but it really pisses me off that they do this), when I give him the bird he starts to chase me, I run an Orange (this is heading south by the way), the light is well red and he runs it, now I get a bit worried, next set of lights he then pulls beside me giving me abuse!!, excuse me, who cut who off, who forced who to the red chip!, then he pissess off. Fuck me!

2. This afternoon in spagetti junction, no one knows where the fuck they are going, cars changing lanes this way and that, this merc merges (to use this term very very loosely in front of me, no indicator, I use the horn, again zip past him, again the bird, and I can see him yelling silently a whole lot of abuse at me!!. It wasn't my fault you dumbfuck!!.

Forgive me, I don't have teretz or whatever that syndrome is, and now at home in front of the PC I am quite calm, but really who do these guys think they are, and I know the coppers can't be everywhere but shit it would be so nice to have one see this.

I guess that the moral of the story is ride like every bastard is out to get you, and I can only hope that these guys get punished one way or another before they hurt someone.

I have also had a cage pass me on the inside on the motorway, I could not believe it at the time but it sounds like it may be a common event

I rode past him (nicely) pulled back into the lane and slowed right down until the exit. Don't think he was happy

[Storm]

Must admit to having done that to pricks who have gone out of thier way to hinder me passing them. I've even flicked a couple the bird as well.
That said, I have found many times that folks will pull to the left hand side of the road when they see a bike sitting behind them, and it always restores a little of my faith in humanity each time- they're not ALL a hols :spudwave:

Easy mate, good big heavy boot vs light plastic cheap nasty nissan mirror

[Coyote]

Haven't been on the road long enough to have any serious problems with cage drivers, only problem I've had and keep getting is always getting stuck behind the granny doing 30-40 and then getting a dickhead up my ass wanting to do 60

[ching_ching]

I brake he moves in front, me now behind and unfortunetly my rage took over and I went beside him and kicked his mirror clean off. I know that was bad of me but the prick was deliberatly trying to hit me or push me into other cars so F*#k him !!!

Glad you're still alive.

It takes a shit load of imagination and the feverant hope your audience are fucking stupid.
Take a look at the bike he rides,he'd have more chance of kicking himself up the arse.

couple of my pet hates on the motorway. people cruising at 110 in the 'fast' lane, and not pulling over (when they can) for faster cars/bikes to come through. i fitted 100w spotties to the diamante to flash as i'm approaching - most people move over, but some people are arrogant and won't move, so i just take them on the inside lane, which is perfectly legal (as opposed to !#)kmh) SUV drivers and horse floats are the worst. slow drivers pulling out to pass without checking their mirrors is the other, then getting pissed off when i nearly take them out as i fly by. one reason i drive with lights on all the time, and don't have a personalised plate
