Chased! :(

[petalbriefs]

So I passed my CBT a couple of weeks ago and due to weather and being away, not been out on the bike other than to and from work.

So anyway, thought its a nice evening and went out for a little ride!

I was just leisurely pottering around some local country lanes, when I see a red Corsa in my mirror, practically pushing me along!!

I was doing 50 along most of the straights and slowing a bit for corners and round one particular corner, he appeared beside me!

He frightened the bejesus out of me and then cut in front of me!
Anyway, I grabbed the front brake and as he looked in his mirror, I shook my head, partly at myself for braking so hard.

He then slowed down to the point I had to change down to first and crawl along behind him, we get to a junction, he goes right, so I deliberately went left.

The next thing, he's behind me again!!
The pr*cky little twat had turned around to follow me!!!
He was pushing me along again, so I turned into a little road and then panicked and pulled into a steep uphill driveway, lost my balance, dropped my bike and snapped the brake lever Doh!

Pissed off at this little d*ckhead and pissed off at myself for dropping my bike! Sad

Anyone else experienced shit like this?
Or was it my fault?
Dont feel like I did anything wrong.

This is a prime example of why you should be able to ride a Fireblade when you're 17. 125's are dangerous.

Congratulations on not being raped.

Have you got a nice arse? He may have just been hypnotised by it and needed to see more

Just chalk him down as a dick head. Remember the car if you see it parked at a house don't go back at night and definitely don't slash the tyres

You didn't do anything wrong by the sounds of it. Next time anything like this happens, pull over and stop to let crazies past. The chances of having an accident when under stress is so much higher.

[Rigga]

I doubt you did anything wrong, there are bellends everywhere out there, forget about it and move on.

Unfortunately some people see the L plates and think they can bully/abuse the biker. Other times they assume they'll be slow and over take you when you your doing over 30 in a 30 zone.

These sound like a tw*t in a chavved up corsa who probably though it was funny to mess with the L plate biker.

Personally, being a 6ft 4in guy, wearing body armor and helmet, I'd have been tempted to casually slow to a stop, get off, and have a word with the c*nt.

But best just to pull over, ride slower and slower if he's tailgating and let the tw*t past. Optionally depriving him a passenger wing mirror as he drives past.

Just another day, forget about it as it's a new day tomorrow. Had a car driver come from nowhere from a bend when i pulled out to start my journey (did my checks too), he must have been doing 50-60 at least the prick in a 30 with speed humps too, then he slowed down and tried to give me the windscreen washer treatment which failed then he tried to get me to pull over, i just overtook him. He also turned up his stereo so i could hear his bass music ?!?! WTF?

Later on i nearly got sided into by a prick in a car at a roundabout even when i had right of way because he saw L-Plates and thought he was faster than me.

L-Plate life is shit to say the least, but i will be back on the road tomorrow as i enjoy it too much with everything from the day before cleared from memory. Can't wait for my full license though

It's easy to say, but try not to let people like that rattle you. Ride normally and let him be a knob but pull over somewhere safe if you feel threatened or he gets too close.

He probably has a teeny tiny penis and was trying to make himself feel more douchey. Sorry! Manly.

As above, always find somewhere safe to pull over and let them go on their way. Have you not got anyone else local to you that you can go out riding with?

Not remotely your fault however - there are just some very sad people in this world. Probably jealous of the bike!

I wonder if MrTamsin has similar problems.

This is why I carry a helmet camera whenever I'm riding. You could've got him totally fucked for endangering your life like that.

As already said, sadly some drivers bully anything with L plates and its always best to pull over as more likely something bad will happen if you're stressed.

A petrol station is a good place to pull into as it will almost always have good CCTV in case things escalate.
