Much Hate

[WildGoose]

for those drivers that, when overtaking a motorbike, wont move all the way to their lane, and straddle the line passing as close as they possibly can

the lanes drawn down for fun are they?

its happening more and more it seems, today was some TVR thing, some mid lifer twat, driving like an idiot anyway, saw him in my mirrors, pulled into the left hand lane waiting for the sliproad onto the m25, he pulled in behind me, then decided to overtake me just to move into the space in front.... pointless move as it was

its not just that its dangerous, i just find it very rude, like they consider i shouldnt be on the road, its the feeling of being on a 50cc being forced into the gutter all over again

after we got onto the m25 i couldnt catch him to vent my disgust in his window, makes it worse

much hate ...

It seems as soon as the weather picks up the cagers decide that they don't need to concetrate as much as they did in the wet. Was going down a logn straight today, slowly and some old man and his wife overtook in me in a mk2 Fiesta, literally CM's away from me, I felt like kicking the door in. I mean for christ sake there was no traffic coming the other way! Not that it would have been an excuse anyway! Can't wait to ditch this 50cc.

days like that when you could do with the r1 or a huyabusa really get on there nerves by going slow then going next to them on the inside lane and hammer it about 120+ to wind them up.

don't worry i use to get that every now n again cause im on a 125 scooter so i do it back when its clear cause when there doing 50 they dont expect a scooter to come flying past @ 70

Was just talking about this to somebody last night. The smallest thing on the road and they still can't give me any room. I had someone do it to me yesterday just to turn left 2 seconds up the road. I think people with open top sports cars should be more careful

The opposite of this happened to me yesterday. I was riding with Yams and went to overtake a car in front of me on a straight, average width bit of road. Indicated, quick lifesaver etc, all perfectly sensible but I was not prepared for the guy drifting right across to the middle of the road as I overtook him (no junctions even close to where we were either ) and leaving me my bike's width give or take a few inches to get past. WAKE UP!

[lilredmachine]

Open top sports cars offer a rare and unpleasant opportunity: Spit on the bastards . My Mate Phil was ragging the nuts off his SP-6 50 the other day, it does 50 going slightly downhill and some nutter went past him by literally an inch, the wing mirror hit him on the elbow. It was an old woman in a pop fiesta towing a trailer, not enough power to overtake and Phil couldn't slow as the trailer was wider than the car and had blocked the way back off. Phil resolved this by battering on the window with his fist until she dropped back. He then slowed and allowed her to pass. She promptly crashed into a car at the next junction. Stupid Bitch probably couldn't see a damn thing. We have a problem with this on the Island as it seems to be treated as the countries retirement home. You know the problems' bad when your held up on a 30 MPH scooter in a 50 limit in rush hour.

Yea I hate that, it's allways people with open top sports cars, we had one today, some stupid cow in a BMW z3 overtook me round a corner, cut me up when she saw an on-coming bus, and leaving me jamming on my brakes in a gutter, I'm lucky there were no wet leaves in that gutter or something, well more like she's lucky.

But WHY? We were'nt going slow, infact we were speeding, probably about 45 in a 35, and round a corner leading to a straight? WAIT YOU STUPID BITCH, wish i'd thought of the spitting though

agree with BFG that some defensive riding can help but there is always some twat who is sat on your arse who is itching to get past you, if in town let them pass then filter past them at some light with a nice smile

[mchaggis]

Every time this has happened to me that I've noticed, without fail, it has been either a 4x4 Chelsea tractor, a BMW, or an Audi.

BMW M3s are the absolute pits. One in particular went so close I could feel the wind from their wing mirror. I was riding about a foot to the left of the divider line, and it was a long downhill straight just after a left hander. There was no traffic in sight, just Muggins in his shiney sickly yellow car can't be bothered to move even a foot further into the opposite lane.

Sometimes I used move over to encourage them to overtake to try and stop them being right up my arse tailgating. Then they only move out only as far as they need to avoid hitting me... I gave up on the idea of moving over to allow anything to overtake. Now I tend to treat it like a track. If they want to get past, then it's their problem. If I'm going at a flatout 60mph, then if they're all queuing up behind me to try and overtake, they're speeding and I don't feel obliged to take any notice of them whatsoever.

One thing thats p*sses me of is when you get twats travelling in the opposite direction that think its okay to overtake someone in front of them because theres a bike coming the other way and we dont need much room or they think the bike will just move over and make room, really rattles me, had it twice this week a nice hand jester is not enough for these twats

Or the other great one is the twats that dont think its right for bikes to filter to the front of traffic lights and try and get of the line quicker, you can see something twig in there tiny little brains, had one guy a week or so ago edge the car forward on the red light until he was practically in the middle of the crossing, no joke went right over the normal white line, past the cycle line and sat in the middle of the crossing with traffic comming the other way still on green, to*ser

[ts50x0]

I was out this morning with my mate and some bitch pulled out on me in a 4x4, she could hardly see over the steering wheel and was clearly not with it, sout i come to some traffic light and knock on her window, she didnt even realise she had pulled out on me even though i beeped my horn. anyway i say to her, why the fuck are you driving that thing you clearly cant handle it and its not like you do off roading is it, you hardly need that thing to get to work and back do you? you stupid bitch!!!!
anyway my point is why do ppl seem to want fuel guzzling, and in my opinion dangerous, 4x4's to get around town these days???? it pissed me off and that woman will just go and do it to someone else and they might not be so lucky!

[El_Bandido]

TS50x0 you took the words right out of my mouth. I hate those things!

If any body spat on me in a car or on a bike I would catch the toe rag and promptly beat them to within a inch of their lives.

but why have a 4x4 apart from to look good, not that i think she deos, and i think she could probly handle a fiesta or something a lot better. and she obviusly thinks shes got too much money to mess about with the likes of me on my cg. sorry but theres just no need to owna 4x4, they are dangerous and statistics show that you are twice as likey to be killed or seriusly injured if the veicle that hits you is a 4x4 oinstead of a car, at least there is some reason for someone to drive a van lorry ect, theres just no need for this stupid bitch to be driving a veicle that she cant handle.

[El_Bandido]

The fact that they drive a 4x4 shows that they are ignorant. Unless they are going offroad, why drive a 4x4? there is nothing good about them on the road. (I own a 4x4. I use it off-road only as that is what its for.)

I think you should have to apply for a license for a 4x4. not a driving license just a license to own it. ie if your a farmer.

people driving 4x4s on the road make me sick

sorry but there is a use for bus's, and why own an R1? because its not hurting anybody and deosnt use way more than your fair share of natural resources for absolubly no reason. so why not?? but a 4x4 is just ridiculas on the road. there is no point but to pose and show off the fact that youve got loads of money, while at the same time endangering other people and killing the world by usein so much fuel( by the way about 4 or 5 times more than any sprts bike).
