RANT!!! CAGERS!!!!!

[Bike Bunker]

Ok, im 17 with a long life ahead of me touch wood, ive got a fairly good riding experience for a 17 year old i know some of you will go pfftt and laugh, but compared to the chav's on little chicken chaser's im not half bad of a rider...

heres the rant!

1. on the way home from college a man opens his door forcing me o the other side of the road just inch's from on coming traffic he must have opened his door when i was 10ft away (doing 30 i could slow down) ...i thaught thank god the oncoming car slowed down....untill it hit me it was 1 WAY!!!! thats 2 cars nearly killed me in 1 road who was both at fault! and neither said sorry infact the car who was driving down the 1 way street had the cheek to shout abuse!!!!

2.im not the most confident at filtering through traffic but im getting way better at it, i even give a wave to the cars who kindly move over (thank you wave or nod) but when absolute wankers move their car into your way (not even changing lane) just to spite you and stop you continuing it makes me wish i had a 50. caliber sniper straped to the side of my bike!

3.PETROL STATIONS REFUSING TO SERVE ME UNTILL I REMOVE MY HELMET!

1) Don't ride so close to parked cars

2) It happens

3) So does that.

1. It happens

2. One of them things

3. That's because they want to catch your face on C.C.T.V incase you ride off without paying! For all they know, your bike could be stolen

I had a parked vectra poke it's nose out of a line of parked cars giving me the choice of going into it or the oncoming traffic at about 30mph, needless to say I binned it into the vectra and was thrown onto the floor from my bike, driver was very apologetic, but was uninsured, the forks cost me £75 to straighten.

Now I actually drive a vectra, these things happen as above, stop your crying, one day you will make an idiotic mistake and provoke some whining trout to make a thread about it. Life goes on.

Ps the term cager irritates me, there is nothing wrong with driving a car, I think a lot of people who use this term don't have a license to drive a car, or have never driven a fun car, or are just in denial about driving in general.

He is 17, and still very much learning. A CBt is very basic training compared to a test, so empathise a little.

We are a bit older, and experience many things like this. The best way to avoid is by riding safely, and that is to position yourself so people move out the way or slow down. Make them scared to hit you.

Ssshhhh, don't admit to being dangerous or having a lack of security, bike gear or anything negative!
If you get a bike stolen without the best security then people willmoan at you. If you crash wihout gear then people will moan at you. If you have a ped then you may as well leave now. If you moan of cars then you will get car drivers saying did you ride defensively? You're smaller and therefore harder to seeand could have prevented it. If you don't have a big bike then another 17 year old will say you could do, you aren't poor, I am 17 and have a 600, it's doable, you are lazy. Basically, don't even bother defending yourself or you'll get someone pointing out your spelling mistakes and lack of captial letters.

Buy and read this book:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Roadcraft-Police-Handbook-Motorcycling/dp/011341143X

As you'll learn, your own attitude has a huge part to play in terms of how much risk you'll have of having an accident. But remember a lot of the advice in there is a bit different to how you should ride for your test!

So buy and read this one too, as well as getting some decent training if you're planning to take your test:

Always expect utter stupidity and reckless idiocy from cagers. Never be surprised by anything they do. Try to anticipate it. Experience will teach you that nothing is beyond realms of possibility when it comes to cager dickishness.

Opening the rear door of piss takers is a good move. I like to give their bodywork a swift kick or destroy their wing mirrors if they really take the piss. I rarely have anyone get in my way these days, even on the flying flea (RXS).

It's not a legal requirement that you remove your crash helmet. The other day I refused to remove mine at a Total petrol station and still got served. The sign said you are politely requested to remove your crash helmet but I politely declined to remove mine. You soon get to know what petrol stations have this idiotic policy - avoid them, and make sure to publicise them as widely as possible so other riders can boycott them too.

Some cagers arent bad, mainly the biker rider ones

You say you are fairly experienced for a 17 year old, yet have problems filtering
Ive been riding nearly 5 years, I wouldnt consider myself that well experienced... I can filter pretty quick and have now after 10 incidents with cars, worked out how to avoid most accidents (with training and avoidance lessons) but there is no way I would consider myself experienced... so a 17 year old saying that does make me laugh... although you sound like me when I was 17, 6 months on the road I was gods gift, turned out bad for me

Personally, would have moved into the other lane, if its one way, and he was going the wrong way, he would have been in serious crap for hitting you

My grandad had a stand up argument in Dublin once with a fellow cage driver. The guy had pulled into a street that my grandad was 2 thirds of the way down, cars were parked on either side of the road leaving a single track to drive down. The guy was demanding grandad reverse his car the whole length of the street so he could drive down.

Of course grandad being as stubborn as an ox refused and insisted the man that had just entered the street should be the one to reverse. The exchange continued for a few minutes with neither party backing down until the block said that he was going to call the police and let them deal with it. Thats when grandad calmly looked at the guy and said "Go right ahead, but before you do, have a little look at what direction these cars are parked on both sides of the road and then have a walk down to the end and see what that big round sign says that you've driven past."

Bloke had driven the wrong way into a 1 way street. He shamefacedly backed off.

Numpties do tend to miss things like that and head the wrong way. I've had people reversing up a 1 way street. "well I'm facing the right way!" The idea is to be prepared for any eventuality.

The filtering part. Happens. Nothing you can do about it. Cagers take exception to us filtering and try and stop it at times.

As for the petrol stations. I grew up in Belfast and it was required for safety reasons so I'm used to it. But what I dont agree with is Madame Punjab can wear her letterbox suit and its allowed but we have to remove our lid. To save any hassle I try and use the "pay at pump" stations. Then I dont even have to get off the bike.
