Road Rage

[buellbabe]

Yep I was chased on the motorway earlier this year, and a few years ago I was chased by a wanker in a Jag from Whangamata almost all the way back to Auckland...now you may be thinking that on a bike I should have been able to lose the wanker but it was dark, raining and my visor was so scratched that my visibility was poor (yep got a new visor the next day).

It was the first time I have ever been scared. That ride home still rates as the worst of my life. I really thought he was trying to kill me.

Oh BTW my crime was overtaking him...

What're you going to do, bsasuper?

[bsasuper]

Well its been done, nothing that cant be fixed but takes a while to figure out.

[sosman]

you said he felt the urge to drag ya off...& then ya give him the wanker sign?...
just show him a wheelie instead!....& say quietly farkyou mudafarker can ya do this in ya stinkin cage...yeahboi

[hospitalfood]

this is most likely a topic which has been brought up ad infinitum but I had an interesting experience the other week, was riding down a suburban street behind some wanker in a shit heap evo or something similar, he must have felt the urge to drag me off because I was on him on a motorbike, I gave him the wanker hand sign, and he obviously saw me as he slowed down, I passed him and as I did he steered towards me to try and cut me off or whatever he was trying to do, I booted it down the street and thought nah fuck you jerk off so stopped around the corner and waited for him to follow because I wanted to lay him out, I was that pissed off, he came around the corner, pulled up beside me and gave me a sour glance and then drove off, didnt get out for the confrontation. Anyone else had similar bullshit happen out there?

had a similar thing, went to pass somebody and he swerved toward me, i had not given him a hand sign.
so i passed him anyway, moving, then got up the road and thought fuck you you cunt, came back and turned around again and got back behind him and tailed him for a while, i could almost smell the shit in his pants........

This sort of thing just seems to be getting more and more common, go back a few years and it would be once in a blue moon that you'd strike some dickhead on the road. Now it's almost a daily occurence - sometimes more than once a day.
I've got a modern bike, a classic bike, a performance car and a Commodore ute and it doesn't seem to make any difference what I'm driving or riding I still see the same amount out there.
Perhaps it's something to do with poor education, surely there can't be THAT many crack heads out there???

[de_wood_elf]

The wankers just think that 'owning the road' gives them an extra 8" where it counts.

[stify]

surely there can't be THAT many crack heads out there???

there's plenty of crack heads around...has been for years..I don't think it takes crack to get a sane peep to make a mountain outa ova mole hill when it comes to driving thou...just chill, cut a gap an get over it, works for me anyway..

I must admit I have had the odd nutter driving up my ass for no good reason. My solution is to slow right down and point out to the gentleman/woman that their mother partakes in hot screaming animal sex with goats and pigs (No not the cops). I once had someone spit at me too, there are some serious fuckwits out there, good thing is though that we can (most of the time) slip through traffic and leave the dipshits behind.

Yep, was heading onto customs st, just before the tepid baths, was in the left lane, some guy in a Holden not a commodore but similar size? Anyway started drifting right into my lane, I beeped, he looked at me, and swerved faster into me smiling away, ended up right on the curb! when he stopped at the lights I had a word with him since his window was down he seemed to think it was a right laugh.

What surprised me most was he was middle aged businessman or similar (tie, dress shirt). Was extremely tempted to smash his wing mirror but didn't still not sure if I should or shouldn't have.

I saw a taxi pull out across two lanes right in front of a bike, biker had to jam the breaks on pretty hard to avoid an accident the driver actually stopped, got out and had a go at him amazing its as if some car drivers think if they have any incident with a bike it must be the bikers fault.

[thepom]

Simple.....go mental and beat them ugly...they ll think twice the next...

[wbks]

Kinda agree with thepom. Too much BS about just calling the cops later because its not worth it. The cops don't care and can't do anything about it anyhow. My (probably considered bonehead) idea is to A-Wait untill they stop and go ape shit at them or if they are a bit big for ya-wait untill they park their car and come back later with a crowbar and a couple rocks to get their car with. Yes, I've inherited the road rage thing lmao The jump out and get the other guy at the next red light kind of thing

Why does this shit never happen to me?
I must exude the right pheromones to calm down those around me

Similar experience, I passed a line of traffic on the entry to a small town, as I slowed for the town and checked out my mirror I noticed a car had pulled out from the que and was bearing down on me at a great rate of knots, I also noticed it was full of Black Power, and they were definitely intending to kill me, I hit the gas and we indulged in a 200km/h run, Fastest I have ever been around those corners, and numerous times they were within a meter or so of my back wheel. Damn them Harleys and their lack of top end speed.

Anyway, They wouldn't let up, they were pushing cars off the road, they were using both sides of the road to get around corners, They only fell behind when they took a corner wide, ended up in the gravel and couldn't bring her back onto the tarmac.

And I lived to see another day, Though I thought I was a goner when we roared through Bulls flat out.

[buellbabe]

Yikes! Brings to mind a ride home earlier this year when I was tootling along with Blackbuell and he overtook a car that decided it wasn't happy about that and gave chase. I stayed behind the car watching in fascination and HORROR as it went sideways around corners giving chase to a bike it was never gonna catch. The road was Kaiaua to Clevedon...not a alot of straights!

The driver put his passenger AND his dog at risk because of???? WHAT????
