Red mist !

Thats when people are most likely to need some panelbeating after I've had a go at their doors with my boots.

So, you don't think I'd have been out of order giving his door a good shit kicking...

Great idea. The kicked in door works well too. Have been pillion when someone has done that with pretty good effect. Really need to be wearing steelcaps tho.

Didn't read the entire thread before my post, but it seems I'm in good company.

He starts to drift into my lane a little... toot the horn, he moves back. As I pass his front quarter panel, he's drifting again, on the hoon, and look at him... he sorta goes back.

Freudian slip?

Freudian slip?

d'oh :slap: yes... horn... Least the hornet's isn't quite as pathetic as the supermoto's....

I avoid riding alongside cars like the plague. It's not healthy. I suppose there are situations when you can't do much about it though.

Since leaving Auckland I don't see red quite as much as I used to. Understandable how pissed off people get though, and there are some ignorant, useless drivers out there.

I remember coming home one night about 9pm, and there was a car behind me driven by an asian lady, weaving in and out between lanes, not indicating, with no lights on.

I pulled up alongside them and blasted my horn till they eventually looked at me and I pointed at my headlight twice, they then finally got the message and put them on. I gave them her the thumps up and was on my merry way.

I didn't see red then but if she had put me in any danger due to that, somehow I think more than a door kicking would have been in order.

I'm well aware of the temptation to kick a door in or remove a wing mirror and, for that matter, don't deny that on many occasions the car driver does deserve it. But before going ahead and taking such action we should all ask ourselves a few questions.

Is it wise for me to do it? What if that driver decides to retaliate and rams me into the oncoming traffic? What if I manage to avoid his actions but the next poor motorcyclist to come along cops it?

There's a whole lot more at stake here than just our own simple gratification and like I've always said - "But it wasn't my fault" makes for a very poor epitaph.

Yep! Escape routes must be considered!
