What would you do?

[Genie]

#1 - Always go home and punch a punching bag to releive the stress you built up in that near fight situation.

#2 If you have a deadly right hook punch like mine get a real boxing bag not a chinese one or else you will rip it in half with one hit, see pics.

I always thought you had a deadly cha cha cha

Im pissed off so if anyone pushes my buttons.......a guy in a black holden commodore (police look a like) started coming right up behind me I told him to get back so he came even closer, I changed lanes he changes into that lane. I start pulling certain hand gestures he pulls it back with both hands so I made a detour to the docks carpark and he follows. I get to a stop, hop off my bike " you ****** *** the **** are you doing you wanna dance lets dance " we "dance", a lady hops out of her merc tries to stop us "dancing". I leave with a satisfied smile, justice served. Thats my rant for the day.

of course in these situations the first thing you have to do is rip off your shirt.

i know from first hand experience when i fight i always take of my shirt or t shirt

My more serious answer to "What would I do"?

Confrontations can escalate and when they do there is no knowing the end game - it dosnt take much for something to end really badly - like someone hitting their head on the curb, or some punk ass pulling a knife.

General rule - avoid the confrontation if at all possible. If its impossible - go hard and dont stop - fight as if your life was on the line - because it may be.

I'd hold a referendum on whether the hand gestures were considered to be offensive enough for a shock and awe assault. Then I'd invite the other party to make their submissions on the matter. Once that was done I'd get out a little blanket and have a mini picnic on the side of the road, inviting the other party over for a spot of earl gray tea....with their cup being laced with arsenic. Quite simple really.

Theoretically speaking, I know it's always best and recommended to try and defuse the situation but after being almost run over a car I KNOW I wouldn't be calm enough to do the right thing.

I would just take advantage of the fact that I have "armour" and put him down quickly with one punch. I've learned long time ago not to hit at the head - too dangerous. Punch/kick in the stomach which will put him down. Once down I would have a chance to breathe and calm myself down. Call 111 and keep him down until police arrive. Waiting for cops and claiming self defence would be much safer than leaving. It can backfire.

If he ends up getting up and starting again, a kick properly administered can easily break a knee/leg and keep him on the ground without endangering his life.

You sound extremely level headed and wise. Have no bling left...so...****

Gezzz this sounds like wife and I three weeks back prick tailgated us then tried to run us off the road also, sat behind him rather than in front after we pulled right across the road to identify him then dropped back, wife took his number five k's down the road a cop comming toward us was waved down quickly told the trouble off he went and yes he nailed the mutt, trouble was he could only do him for inconsiderate driving but it still cost him.....Could of cost us more though if he had taken out the front of the bike.....

Turned out ok in this case, but you have to be careful out there.

From experience there is a lot of crazy bad people out there carrying all kinds of things round in their cars.

Is your life worth it?
Let them go back to the cess pond they come from and ignore them.

[Genie]

it's ignoring them that could be half the problem I, personally, don't think they should get away with crap behaviour.

Watch out fella's she'll send all to the naughty corner to deal to ya's

[Big Dave]

OT - but I have to respond. Viva Newcastle.

Hunter Street never recovered from the earthquake. The commerce moved to Charlestown and Normie gave up cruising and went surfing. The Patches moved to Maitland and up the Hunter Valley.

Still a good Pie Cart on Hunter Street, but the Bands are all in Beaumont Street now too.

This is the sound of the Newy I called home.

[CM2005]

Anyone starting a conversation with the following "Wanna have a go?", "you want a piece of me?", "What are you lookin' at?" isn't likely to see reason. Glaswegian instinct upon someone being stupid enough to voice their intentions in this way should receive a pre-emptive attack where the front of your helmet connects with the bridge of their nose.

Then you kick him in the stones and stamp in his legs once he's down THEN you ride off on your bike.

However I would never gesticulate (shake my fist) in the first place. Using gestures and/or your horn is just asking for trouble. Cars are bigger, harder and a lot more deadly than bikes eh?

When I get cut up by a motorist I just try to find another route.

I'll agree with Mr McJim here..

Like Frosty told me, every time you beat or kick some cagers head in - think of the chain effect or the 'six degree's of separation' they call it. This cager twists the story to get sympathy from his/her partner and family, they spread it to their friends, they're friends may be of all walks of life like Nick Smith! So next time you are out on your bike you could be riding near a person who heard about these incidents and labels you the same as the offender and they might just do something.....
