Yup. I think their pissed at being such a dipsh1t that they react in the negative. I won't lie, one time I was making a left, and even though I looked, I just didn't see this dude on a bike making a left in front of me, he honked and flipped me off, and I just gave him my best "sorry I'm a dumbass look" what else could I do? When someone admits or gestures "sorry", it makes it all cool to me, as long as they know.

 

These stories **** me off. I'm going to start carrying a brick around with me. Bomb some dip****s car one day.

 

yeah if someone makes a definititive gesture of apology then I'm okay, I'll feel like the jerk for getting so mad... but it's the other 99 people out of a hundred that get pissed at you that make me hate people.

 

You guys make a good point. When I screw up in traffic, I know it is for sure an accident and I feel embarrased...always waveas a pathetic way of saying sorry. I think many people fall into that category. Some, though, that laugh or flip you off or make a face at you...or don't acknowledge at all are the ones that get your blood going. Sometimes I am tempted to respond, but it is best for everyone involded to let it go. Anger leads to bad decisions that could get you in trouble...or hurt.

 

Had these kids in a civic( you know the ones with the bumble bee in the exhaust) try to race me one day, and when I didnt race him he decided to cut in front of me bout 6 inches from my tire. I pulleup beside him and old him to chill out with that mess. Well we took off from the light and I got ahead of him because he was behind some other cars. Well bout a mile or less up the road the kids do the same thing again. So this time I pull up beside him at the next light and him an his buddies are laughing. So after tryin to get him to roll down the window so I could cuss his *** out he still sits there and laughs. So the light turns green and right before we take off, I jack hammer his side view mirror with the bottom of my fist. So as they sat there looking at their mirror hanging the laughin seemed to stop and I took off (laughing the whole way)

 

The other day I was coming home from work going 45mph in a 35mph quite average for the evening work commute.. Anyways it's a two lane road one lane going in each direction. Out of no where this retard in a camry is right on my *** I didn't even see him he must have been going really fast then slammed on the breaks when he got to me, and when I mean right on my *** I mean within a couple feet. Mind you we are traveling about 45mph, 10mph over the speed limit and there is no double yellow lines the whole road is single dashed lines, so he could have just passed me anytime it was clear, but this jackhole is riding me like theres no tomorrow.
So I do the oh so pissed off look behind my shoulder right at him, and what does he do, sticks his hands out the window yelling and screaming for me to pull over. At first I was confused, is this guy like a undercover cop who wants to get me for speeding or some crazed lunatic late for anger management. Well I motion to back off with my hand and he nails the gas and flips me off while yelling some sh*t as he passes me. What a lil' B***h, as far as I know I didn't do anything wrong and I couldn't pull over there is no shoulder and I'm on a sportbike not a dirtbike you moron.
So I lay on my horn for a good minute ortwo then I realize that this guy could really be crazy so I backed off and let it go. Let me tell you people like that really get my heart pounding you never know what could happen next. Just gotta try to keep it cool and in control.

 

my most recent incidents were on my way to ocean city md. anyone from the mideast coast has prob heard of it and is prob familiar with the famous bay bridge toll booth nightmare. some stupid college hippy broad(that hypothesis is based on all the stupid bumper stickers that had a "message") just swerved about 12 inches from my front tire. i layed on my horn from approx 15 secs and she never moved her head. the other time was while i was cruisin thru OC and some stupid kids in a poor attempt for a nice tuner car, switched lanes then decided they wanted to be back in their original lane even tho i was there. as the back bumper caught my front tire i had brake on, did endo and barely caught bike from going over. i proceeded to catch up to them and invited them to pull over and have a small discussion with my flashlight and i but they werent interested. they quickly turned off and i didnt see them again. i prob would have gotten my *** handed to me but it would've been interesting.

 

This didn;t happen to me on my bike, i was in my GTI. I was driving around town doing some random errands and stuff by the mall in town. i was driving down the side of the mall on a road, not in the parkinglot. this road has 2 entries to the mall parkinglot on it, one is a fairly main entrance with a light, and the other is a back entrance pretty small. So im driving down the road minding my own business, got a green light and 3 cars coming towards me with thier left blinkers on to go into the mall, (mind you they don;t have a green arrow) the first one has plenty of room, makes the turn, the second one is a little tight but still makes it w/o me needing brakes. then with me about 30 feet away, the 3rd car, some rich B**** and her trophy wife friend in thier Benz' cut right infront of me to go into the mall. i had to slam on my breaks to the point that ABS kicked in, and i laid on my horn.

this woman stickes her hand out the sunroof and flips me off. i am FUMING! so i pass this entrance and go intothe back one. as im driving through the parkinglot i see her and her friend laughing and having a grand old time. So after a little searching i found her car and let the air out of 3 of her tires. nothing that wasn't reversible, just a pain in the *** inconvenience for her. needless to say i felt very satisfied haha.

 

In Boston and parts of New York there are a lot of traffic circles, I get cut off reguluarly. This particular circle has an entrance to a super market(the lane people usually cut me offin). I've followed countless cars into the parking lot, wait for them to get out of their car and inform them how hard it is to stop on a motorcycle. Some go well, some don't. I've had peaceful conversations, and screaming battles. Some people just try to walk away..that's when I get heated. I recall one instance where someone cut my off, I called him an ******* andhe followed ME into the parking lot. I see him walking up, I jump off mycbr, toss my helmet andget right up in his face.After some cussing back and forth with my right hand cocked back, we ended up talking, turns out he rides, he was alsofrom the same town in Mass I was and we ended up riding later on that week. You never know with some people.Just remember, they have four wheels, you have two..

 

i was driving on the highway in a busy section, an intersection of 2 major highways in the pre-holiday traffic a few days ago...i was in the left of 2 lanes...on the right coming up was a short entrance ramp...so this dumbass decided she was gonna merge into my lane without signaling, she got about halfway in, noticed i was there as i honked at her...she turned, looked at me, kinda giggled and waved in an "im sorry, i really didnt see you" kinda way...ok, fine with me, i understand i might have been in her blind spot...10 seconds later, neither of us have changed positions, were both behind the same 2 cars we just were...and she tries it again!!! this time i lay on my horn and give her a glare through my dark smoke visor...10 seconds later the other major highway merges from the left and creates a third lane...so i became in the middle lane...this guy comes from the left lane and cuts me off completely and go right into the left lane, no signal or even looked...almost took me out...i, again, layed on my horn and revved my engine...i was waiting for that guy to come back and catch me, i moved into the right lane and slowed down, i was sooo gonna take off his mirror...but he musta gotten off the exit

if im in my cage and someone is tailgating me(which they like to do, cause i drive a hybrid so everyone assumes in going slow), i start by tapping my brakes just enough to get the lights to flash, that doesnt work, i slow down to just above the speed limit, that doesnt work, i start slamming the breaks...pissed the hell out of the jerk off in their SUVs yapping on their cell phones cause they actually have to think...but when i can see nothing but your grill in my rear view mirror...your too damn close....when im on the highway, i usually drive 55-60mph, the speed limit is usually 65, and most people usually drive 70-75...and i have people tailgate me in the right lane when there is no traffic around...it has gotten to the point where i have merged to the left lane to let them pass me on the right

i ordered some of those magnets...im going to buy a little bag to put on top of my triple tree, and keep those magnets as well as some marbles in there...for when they might be needed...i was hoping to find something like those magnets somewhere...they will hopefully help gain awareness that cager's dont always see motorcycles, without doing things to **** them off, like revving your engine, kicking, throwing stuff, punching, etc...
