Is it just me...

[Dakara]

...or do we create some sort of penis envy rage in the boy racers?

Ever since I've jumped on the ZX6 I keep having guys in overdone cages try to race me on the daily commute. I commute on the bike at the same speed I do in the car, but only encounter it on the bike, and only since I moved up from the Hyobang.

Just today, I had a guy try to shut me out on an On-ramp as the lanes merged, and then another on the motorway who I just sat next to as he thrashed his pos trying to outrun me. In the end I actually backed off when I looked down to see how fast we were going...

For the most part I find it funny, apart from when they nearly take me (or another vehicle) out swerving lanes.

Yep just you mate.

[Dakara]

Yep just you mate.

Haha, glad I cleared that one up.

[Wolfrider]

I get the same, it's like because i'm on a bike, it must go fast, have to PROVE i'm a man and BEAT HIS BUTT! I just laugh at their attempts, more wear and tear on their machines

its good if you are at the lights with them in the next lane, make out that you are going to drag race them, let them race their cage of the lights, and just ease off the line, this is good if you know there is a muffti cop a few cars back, but yes boy racer in a cage does = small penis.

+1 on what he said.


Dont give into it Matt. This is one of the dark paths that leads to the forest of lost licences

I get that even on a 250 sometimes. I usually just laugh and watch them make a fool of themselves

[Boob Johnson]

Just ignore the twat



ps: sorry not you Dakara, the boy racers

[puddy]

Haha, yes as per our ride on Saturday you no doubt realize it's one of my weaknesses

I don't usually blat off infront of them, I just like sitting next to them looking in the window as to say "wtf are you trying to prove?"

[mrchips]

yup, them & tailgaters..... just love em.

[hang0ver]

Sure do create some kind of envy... I notice it a lot too... I've had lame-ass boyracers (oncoming) swerve at me, seemingly trying to scare me or get a reaction.

Just as sure as the Sun will rise, there will be 17yo kids in Carolla's with flat brim caps, mag wheels (@ $15pw for the next three years) strapped with tubes of Clearasil and 50 Cent playing, hating on bikers for no apparent reason.

Also find middle aged men in (big) Holdens/Fords try to tempt you...

Riding a sports kind of encourages people also I guess...

Car people tend to act a lot more macho because as long as they have a bigger faster car then their mates they think they're hot shit and they only have to plant their right foot and turn a steering wheel to prove it. Where as in bikes you don't get this illusion of superiority to anyone with a smaller bike than you due the need for balls and skills to wind a bike open around some corners. There are a bunch of emos around here that got cars and all of a sudden started walking around like they are big men. These are the same ones that say they will ram you "on your gay ass little bike" (says the kid in a nissan pulsar) of the road if you race them. You know the type?

They all want to race because they know it's a challenge. Thing is if you look for it you'll find a lot of opportunities to either lose your license (as Toto rightly points out) or end up hurt.

I just think of them as unworthy opponents. Not really fair for them when we can accelerate so quick. Must admit every now and again the mood takes me but it's all about considering the time and place (like all bike related shenanigans).

not just guys, had a silly bitch cut me off on an on ramp, nearly side swiped me in the process coming up the outside of me. thing was the silly cow ended up going into uni as well. was all I could do not to follow and show her the results of her actions with a liverpool kiss (me with helmet on).
