Had a guy in a peace of crap car tailgate me today like that guy in the van you were taking about. It’s never happened to me before bit scary the first time it happens! When they don’t want to pass even, jute continuing following. I was a bit rattled from this guy so I did some tight lane splitting to get away and got more abuse for it by other people by then I was even more rattled and I F***’n stalled the bike when the lights changed!
Don’t know if I handled it all that well but you ride and learn.
On the bright side of things though it is amazing all the recognition, comradeship there is out there from fellow bikers, all the waving, nodding that kind of thing. You now I got so many waves from friendly bikers the first time I went out a few months ago I pulled over to see if there was something wrong with my bike (thought that was why every one was waving to warn me of something that had come lose) LOL![]()

An experience cannot be proven, intellect and reason cannot prove the beauty of an awesome relationship with a motorbike.
Aw this topic is brilliant , hey how do you guys feel about punching the side mirrors in then flooring it , in these situations?
Was once tailgated by a car load of boi ricers who thought they where cool cos thay could go really fast & keep up with a GN250 in a 50km/h zone, so i just sucked it in pulled over to the kerb. They sped past me with all their fart valve / gear changing might only to get pulled over by a nice police officer just up the road.
I made shure i gave them all a friendly biker wave as i went past.... suckers.

I had a gentleman try and change lanes into me yesterday, its funny as I knew he was going to do it before he did. its amazing how the Horn turns my invisability sheild off must get a louder one!
I agree its great all the waves and nods you get from fellow bikersit seems we are the only ones on the road paying any attention, I must admit riding a bike has also improved my car driving or just woken me up.
couple old spark plus in the tank bag usually backs them right the fuck off
You think it's bad on the motorbike. I cruise on my bicycle at about 40kph. With bursts up to 55kph and 60kph. Cars and pedestrians alike just pretend I'm not there. I expect everyone to try and kill me, and they do try. It's rare for them to catch me out now. A lady pulled out on me while I was flying through an intersection, I just split down the right hand side of her and knocked on her window while we were at about 50kph, and said loudly "be more careful" and then overtook her hahahaha. She stayed well back after that. Building up to bicycle couriering in December.
when I was a bicycle/motorcycle courier, damn I was crazy. Can't believe I'm still alive. Texmo is worse. Splitting like a maniac on a 125 farm bike with drum brakes hahahahaha. For some reason I couldn't crash that 125 Honda NXR even though it was on original semi knobbly tyres. Used to get the pegs scraping all the time. I used to watch peoples faces when I would trick them into thinking I was going straight through, and then at the last second swinging left so they didn't get a chance to use that "give way to right turning traffic" rule. It was mostly shock due to the fact that I looked like I'd just crashed from the sparks coming off the pedals. That was a sweet bike, only needed a litre or two of oil every 5000k's. 30km/l on gas and I could even wheely it with it's massive 12hp. Used to take it down stairs and jump it at every chance I got. When my parents sold it back to the dealer they commented on how well I'd looked after it for the 10,000k's I'd owned it. Hahahha, if only they knew. Loving the hondas. I miss that bike. Brand new $3500.
Had so many idiots abusing shit out of me while on my bicycle for all sorts of things, one lady told me I was the stupidest bicycle rider she'd ever seen because she nearly changed lanes into me while she was stuck behind someone turning, I was flying past on the right handside of the left lane, and someone was turning left slowly to avoid pedestrians. I knew she wouldn't hit me because cars always leave a bicycle sized gap between them when doing manoeuvres 99% of the time. She drove up next to me while I was turning right and told me that I was stupid and it was my fault she hadn't seen me because I had a black leather jacket on with black jeans even though I had a green bag on with reflectors on the back, and a flashing headlight and tail light.
One recently, major flare up. hahah. Was hooning down a hill, with my arms outspread like i was flying. Then looked back and saw a Holden V8 ute about 100m back, looked ahead and saw the traffic slowing for some traffic lights. The fucking holden hooned up and passed me only to pull in and slam on the brakes so I flew back past him in the small gap on his left and gave his wing mirror a smack with my hand so it bent around. Went through this small town centre in heidelberg had left him for dead. Then was up a few side streets looking for my brothers house hadn't been there before. And who should be coming down the road the other way. A very irate Holden V8 ute driver hahahaha. He pulls over and gets out and starts running to block the road so I can't get past, so I stop out of range of him, he starts swearing at me, I give as good as I get, ask him if he's a happy man, tell him he's a champion and all that. Then he tells me he's going to the cops, so I tell him he's welcome to give them my bicycle's numberplate details. hahaha. He gets back in his ute, I clear off just in case he decides to ram me. You never know what these retards are going to do. What's really sad is that I could see my dad doing the same thing.
hehehe spark plugs are so handy...
and vtec nice goin with the holden, personaly i wuda done worse...

Munter Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munter Munter is a British slur used to refer to a remarkably ugly person, a stupid person, or someone who takes drugs according to wikipedia
Funker could only come from funk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk a popular music style in america.
So taking it to its logical and obsurd conclusion, the driver was calling you a drug taking person who listens to funk?
Or could have a had a really bad grasp of english.
