 Posted: 10:44 - 18 Nov 2010 Post subject: Revenge, a dish best served dark and wet? |
 |
|
This happens to me from time to time but this morning just took the biscuit!!
I was on the motorway on the way to work behind this car in the fast lane waiting to overtake him. He then decided to clean his windscreen with a nice long soaking, on top of this one of his nozzles was clearly pointing up in the air and not going anywhere near his windscreen! Cue me getting a visor and jacket full of strong car windscreen soap.
He MUST have been aware of me behind him, but obviously didn't think of anyone else but himself - idiot! I had to wipe the sodding mess off my visor before undertaking him and making it clear how I felt about this...
So... revenge for any future issues I have =
1x Switch to fit on the handlebars
1x 12v water pump wired to the battery and switch
1x small water tight tank to fit under bike seat filled with dark coloured water (maybe ink added!) - only joking there!
2x length of piping leading from the tank, through the pump and fixed into small holes out the back of the fairing with the outlets pointing at a slight upwards angle.
Can't be that hard to achieve surely!?

Or you could leave a sensible gap from the vehicle in front, especially at motorway speeds  ____________________ Suzuki GSF600 K3 (in the fastest colour, black). |

Lol stop it stop it!!!
You're all making me laugh so much I'll have a seizure in a minute!
Geez, I don't think I've ever seen so many high horses in BCF before. Especially all taking the same jumps to conclusions too!
Why on earth would you assume I was tailgating and trying to force a car to move over just because I said I was in the fast lane waiting to overtake!? Oh, and it is called a fast lane - because I've just called it a fast lane thank you. If you can't cope with the struggle of converting 'fast lane' to 'overtaking lane' in your little mind then I feel sorry for you I really do.
Okay, to add to this scenario:
I was at least 3 car lengths away from the car in front if not more, he was overtaking traffic in the middle lane as was I, there was then going to be a large gap after this in which he could move over to let me pass. He chose not too, instead he cleared his windscreen whilst remaining in the fast lane. I slowly closed the gap still expecting him to move over, he didn't. So I did the terrible thing no other biker has ever attempted to do before and undertook him.
In the past I've come across several postings in BCF from annoyed bikers because cars have inadvertantly sprayed them with screen wash, so I know I'm not the only one. And that stuff travels further than think you know, especially with a nozzle pointing upwards. If I'd been tailgaiting him it probably would have completely missed me... now there's an idea!  ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.

If you were not so close then you wouldn't have gotten covered in screen wash (remember the two second rule)

So you closed the gap to force the drive to move into the middle lane, but he decided to wash you and his windscreen.
I have been sprayed with screen wash, but they turned them side ways and squirted me as I overtook them.
Could have been worse he could have put his brakes on, then there might have been a thread about a dead biker. ____________________ Suzuki GSF600 K3 (in the fastest colour, black). |

To be absolutely honest here, we are always complaining the cars dont see us, but when it suits us we say he did see me and tried to fuck me up, truth be said he probably didnt know you were there. little bit more here.

Lol, dear me. Obviously the wrong time of month for some of you!
I am seriously disappointed though in your inabilities to forsee a thread full of tongue-in-cheek and purposely over the top reaction to a slight annoyance.
Never mind, just don't fall off those horses of yours and you'll be fine!  ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.
