Smiles

[kingsknight]

Don't you just love it when your town becomes gridlocked because of some random crap but you barely notice it as your skipping a 3 mile traffic jam on the way home.

Yes I maybe a little colder then you cagers but I will be home and enjoying my dinner before you see moving traffic again

Makes me smile.

Some arsehole pulled right over onto the wrong side of the road to try to stop me going down the middle today. Pretty futile given there was nothing coming the other way so his one car in 2 lanes of road was never going to stop me

I pulled up alongside his window and motioned for him to wind it down but he just sat staring straight ahead I think he appreciated that it had not been a good idea as for all he knew I could be some nutter that decided to kick his door in. In fact all I was going to do was point out that a) it was perfectly legal and b) he was a prick.

I think some car drivers underestimate bikers. Not only was I wearing a nice leather vest with my rockers on the back that day, but I also have an extremely short temper and low tolerance to knobheads.

We over took a couple cars at a set of lights (As you do, because you're going to take off quicker, and simply because you can), so the twat behind me in the BMW thought he'd drive less than a metre from my back tyre. After motioning him to back off, and to no avail, the brakes were slammed on, the kick-stand went down, helmet came off, and he found himself in a situation that gave him only 2 options.

1. Reverse quickly and drive off.
2. Have your shiney grey beemer, and your face, smashed around with my helmet.

He chose the first option.

makes me laugh when cagers try to "pretend" not to see you coming down the middle and they slowly try to block your path! I just ride VERY close to their car as I pass.

I'm very thankful to people who move out of my way which to be fair is 85% of other road users. My little 125 is very light and I can work around most pricks who try to block my way.

I did exactly the same as Torx a while back but I had no intention of doing anything violent, I just wanted to ask the car behind why they kept bipping me and what their problem was. So, parked up in front of the line of traffic, walked toward the car but the woman wound her window up, was franticly trying to use her phone and shouting - ....I'm calling the police........I'm calling the police...! Wierd They really don't expect you to stop and talk. A mate of mine used to have a bike with a white polaris fairing with orange stripe and white helmet. He used to pull bad drivers over and give them an "official warning"

Man, skipping traffic is fun. The traffic was totally gridlocked today up on the A13 at Hadleigh (such a stupid place for traffic light!), I pull out onto the right hand side and wave bye to the back of the queue. I was through the lights in seconds (well, possibly minutes, but a damn sight quicker than anyone else...)

I don't usually get people block me intentionally (maybe once every couple of months that I notice), and my entire journeys filtering. But blow me its become a fashion recently. Either that or the lines between lanes are now fitted with car attracting magnets

Annoying as hell.

THOUGH!

*Bangs up great big Warped / (Dumbell?) story warning!*

Filtering towards the Hanger Lane roundabout a few nights ago. 3 lanes of solid barely moving traffic. I was filtering up between the Center and Right overtaking lanes. A guy pulled up to the dotted white lines and sat on them.

Fair do's I cant be arsed road raging. He creeped along it for a minute at 5mph tops. There was a que of bikes suddenly behind me. Roit... Not sure about the legalities of this, but went around the car between him and the central reservation. Looked in my mirror and saw the que of bikes had stopped around him and were having words through his window. Got to the lights, just missed a green, sat for a minute and the bikes caught up. I moved out of the way as the lights went green and realized it was 6 motorbike coppers. One of which had stopped the car that was blocking the filtering and had him out of the car and was having a chat with him.

Wonder if they were discussin blocking progress or driving without care and attention? Dunno.

Anywhos, thats my ramble done.

I've not ridden for a few years, and I'm finding that the cagers are way more aggressive towards me than I remember. Filter blockers seem to have multiplied as do vans that want to race me from lights? WTF is up with that?
On Tuesday I rolled round a corner behind a Micra on a single lane carriageway. Driver clocked me, and proceeded to drive at 15 mph periodically slamming on the anchors. Then he'd set off again, indicate to turn left/pull in and literally stop in the middle of the road. Rinse/repeat. I got annoyed and pinned it round him after a while of this but even then he drifted into the other lane forcing me further out...

Pompey was rammed yesterday morning due to 3 multiple car piles up within a small area..

My workmate (who lives down the road from me) left for work at quarter to eight in her car. I had to wait for my child minder (who was late due to the delays) and left at half nine on the bike.

We both arrived at quarter to ten...

I fucking love my bike.

I've mellowed a lot during the last few years. If a car is getting too close then I will happily slow down until they either overtake me or get the message that I won't be rushed and pull back.

About 4 weeks back when i picked up my Z 750 from the garage, casually pootling along the ring road at 60mph. overtake a guy in a saab and pull back into the left lane. Going round the roundabout he was tailing me at no more than a meter away. i sped up a bit but he followed. i slowed down and he didn't overtake.

Next roundabout - same thing.

Get to a set of lights and he's in the right of me swearing about how all bikers are idiots and deserve to be knocked off.

As lights go green, the black BMW behind him that i'd spotted had been following us was an undercover copper, who caught it all on video and heard what he was shouting!

Copper waited until the layby on the next stretch and pulled us both in, he spoke with me and said i'd done nothing wrong and asked me to tell him what happened. He then let me go, and kept the driver there, not sure what he said but i'm pretty sure there was at least 3 points and £60 involved

made my day

[Torx]

My antics might be considered road rage, but is it really? If somebody is playing with your life, I think you have every right to threaten theirs. It's not a game.

What do you think you're accomplishing by kicking off? You're just delaying yourself, which is essentially what the cager wants.

The best revenge is leaving them behind, and if you're going to veer to the wrong side of the law, a TS10 for riding through a red light is far better than a public order offence, or getting your balls kicked in when you finally take on a mental who's bigger than you.

Please disregard if it's one of these things:
