Don't you just love
Having a bit of a rant here , but don't you just love the way on-coming car drivers see you only have two wheels and so think they deserve half of your side of the road
?
Also there's a narrow bridge at the bottom of a hill near where I live that is a single lane . Coming down the hill traffic has right of way so I should be clear to go yeah? No chance the ******* always try to squeeze through coming the other way even though they're looking right at you!
Here's a piccy of the bridge I found on google maps.

I've only had a few people take advantage of my lane. But yeah, it's pretty upsetting. I hate it when they try to pass, but instead of getting all the way over, they think they don't have to, and crowd you out. I noticed this a few years ago when I started riding.
I have a similar bridge not far from my house. What makes it worse is that one end of the bridge is a 90 degree turn coming into it. Everybody just hits the horn and enters REALLY slow. Never had anybody try and squeeze through with me, though. I would flip out on them if they tried it.
People are generally pigs when it comes to sharing the road with us bikers.
One time last summer, some a-hole decided to pull up to their mailbox, and then do a 3pt turn to back into their driveway. It was a really dangerous spot, right on a hill. I was cruising, but stopped with plenty of time. I hit the horn, just to say "WTF!?" and let them know they were being unsafe. Well, another guy that was stopped in the other lane must have been friends with the guy I honked at, so he honked back and then charged me!! He freakin' came right over the line, full throttle right at me. I swerved and missed him by about 6inches! I was soooo pi$$ed. I seriously thought he was gonna hit me. He tried. Absolutely crazy.
Gotta watch your *** out there.

Attacked by car
Mr Trout, since a vehicle weighing 5,000 pounds could be and is considered a lethal weapon, you had the legal right to defend yourself. Should have shot the s&cker!!!
He tried to kill you brother. If you did not do your part, he just might have killed you.
Nevada police would have come up on the guy and put the finishing bullet in him just for kicks.... I have ZERO tolerance for car drivers who use their car as a weapon against motorcyclists....
He would not have done that if you were in a Mack Truck that weighs 40,000 pounds now would he! You hit my raw nerve and got my blood going brother. Move to Nevada, its safer out here because people who do that chit know they would be shot and then finished off by the police!!!
Hawk be careful out there brother. That bridge looks like a accident waiting to happen.
I think they should get the engineer(s) who designed that bridge/road to ride a freaking Unicycle through the bridge blindfolded going backwards!!!
Give the engineer a rubber horn and make him honk it at Trout's attacker!!

Mr Trout , that really sucks!! At least where I live it's because of a lack of space , it's pretty built up around here so lots of parked cars on the road , 'you gotta fight for your right to party'
Nevada , I think the guys built that bridge are long buried , probably pre-dates the Victorian era , they were only expecting the occasional horse and cart

Everybody on the roads in cars or trucks ect , are out to kill us ...
Narrow bridge , wide freeway ...don't matter , I assume the bastards are all trying to kill me..
Not that I advise others to do what I do , but I have been known to let any buggers that haveago at me on the road know exactly what I think
It's a war out there........ be on the defensive at all times..... and fight back !!!
ok , maybe not to the extent of shooting them Joe.... but hey , a good old fashioned thump in the head at the next stationary opportunity, or even just a casual kick in the bloody door usually gets there attention
I call it my motorcycle public awareness campaign...
They do something really bad to me and get dealt with immediately , maybe , just maybe, they will think twice before doing it to another less experienced rider ...
works for me guys

There is no doubt that we will meet again.
At the moment, I was a little more worried about getting run over than I was about beating his a$$. It was about 10mins later that my blood was really boiling. He had another guy with him, but that wouldn't have mattered. He's the next door neighbor of the guy getting his mail. I know where he lives and what he drives.
I won't do anything to him, though....
BTW, I like how the nevada police operate, buddy...
Steve, you're absolutely right. You gotta be on guard at all times, and just figure that their all out to get you. It's the only way.
I also had some kids last year that decided to break check me, and then turn on their back window wiper to be funny. I wasn't laughing then, either. They went out of their way to do it. I was several seconds behind them, and only going about 40mph. Bunch of idiots thinking their funny with their friends.

Ball Bearings
I have carried ball bearing in my left jacket pocket since 1974. They are known to go threw car radiators at times when being followed too close.
Gosh Steve, take away my fun. No shooting threatening car drivers? Ok, maybe if I do like Clyde the Orangutan in the Clint Eastwood movie "Everywhich way but Loose" it will be OK? Taking a dump in the car would be a pleasure!!
