General Rant...
I'm a very very passionate person, and when I'm irked I usually have a lot to say. Today, I was riding with my girlfriend while she was driving my car. On the way home, while stopped at a light that has a dedicated right lane for turning, some idiot in a red mini van realized they were in the wrong lane, and decided that since I'm on a bike, it's all fine to push me off the road. I saw them coming from a while back, as I was communicating with my gf behind me. I was so aggravated... I almost smacked the car, it was that close. Then they take forever to actually get in front of me, and proceed to go 25 in a 35 to pull into a church. I hope whatever god they believe in see's the fail and realizes that it doesn't need useless, worthless scum like that and smites them good and well... SMITE THEM ALL!

Without a doubt ...every time that happens to be , I either lay a boot into the car , or let it come way over close to me , then I let it have the friggin biggest punch that I can muster ...!!
If by some chance they see me at the last minute and don't quite go close to hitting me , I still make sure that I weave my way around to the driver door and vent my anger at them using all my powers of descriptive and extreme use of the English language in all its full "non dictionary" glory .!!
****em!!!!! cars try to kill me ...I leave them with one ****** of a memory to go on with
.... and hopefully the next poor bastard that may not be as experienced as me , may be saved from a serve of there bloody stupidity..that may cause injury , financial loss and pehaps death !!
When riding ...I TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!
Every thing on the road is my enemy!! ... and I make no appolligy TO ANYONE for my extreme approach to survival ...
Om near 54 , managed to stay in one piece for a million years of ridding , om fit and alive and om staying that way ..
and I think a few lessons handed out to some of these dicks is worth any amount of trouble I might get myself into ...
BTW - I have always been like this in regard to my riding, BUT I do not suggest you do what I have mentioned UNLESS you are definitely in the right and are prepared to back up what you do ... it can get you into trouble !!

Been told I have an evil look in my arsenal of non-verbal communications. And I've been told now that I ride, that look is downright chilling with my helmet on. A friend said "It's like you're staring into my body, trying to visualize the damage the bullet will do". Told him that's pretty much exactly what I'm doing. When people do stupid things and are trapped by the light, I've ridden up next to them and given people that look. I've watched soccer moms squirm, teens begin mouthing apologies and tards hang up phones.
But it's not exactly the safest thing to do. Some people are simply broken and getting called on their own stupidity makes them angry. Any confrontation, even non-verbal ones like I use, means you gotta be ready to react. Either ready to get the hell outta there or drop your bike and defend yourself.
I won't take Classic's approach (tho I'd love to kick the mirror off of many cars). It would completely destroy the 'fear for my life' defense in a court of law. When you don't say anything, don't even make a guesture... Well then it's open season on their *** and no bag limit if they escalate

I have to say that I'm w/ CBRclassic on this one. I've been told that I'm too nice of a guy but on the road, this changes...& for good reason. Its my life that's at risk! You have to be defensive out there...its your life! Let the cagers pay the stupid-tax of a dented door or broken mirror if they come over on you. Maybe that will help them remember to be more observant & save the next motorcyclist.

When someone cuts me off I typically make it a point to get up alongside em and either point at my eyes or flip em the bird. It just kind of depends on how blatant it was. I always lay on my horn (which is a freakin joke, I want an air horn on my bike...) and come up on em and make sure they know they wronged me. What really gets me is the people that act like I'm the arsehole for being there... like I am responsible for him almost pushing me onto the shoulder because he couldn't take the 1/2 second to look in his blind spot before changing lanes. Grrr.... Unfortunately there's just a lot of drivers who don't understand how much power they wield behind the wheel.. I feel your frustration dude.
