What a prat!

[Wise1]

Yesterday I took the bike out to the local Shopping Centre, when I was coming out there was a guy driving a 1 Series BMW, he was pissed off because I had skipped the long Q by riding right up the left side to the roundabout and got out before he did. He overtook me and I pulled up behind him.

He then proceeded to check his mirrors quickly and looked quite agitated. Then he got out of the car to come round the back and said

"can you leave some space between your monstrosity and my car please".

I was on a 125 not a tank.

I could'nt help myself, while he was standing waiting on a response I just blurted out "Wanker!"

He then said he was going to report me for dangerous driving. I dropped the side stand but before I get my leg over the bike he was back inside the car and on his way.

Honestly, wtf?

I was in the left lane to turn left at the roundabout, he never mentioned that, just complained because I was sitting about 3 feet from the back of his car at a set of lights further down the road.

BMW drivers....only had the bike on the road since thursday and all they do to me is come right up my Fcuking ass. Same the van drivers... They pull out on me, overtake me then slow down to the speed im going at, over take me when im away to turn right. I'm only on a 125 but some how manage to get passed them when they pull out on me...aah that pisses them off. Really the only good people out there are...Skoda drivers

[Harold_Shand]

Once an African woman really upset me, gave me a very close call indeed. She pulled out on me for no reason, at all... there was no one behind me, so she either didn't see me or was taking a chance. Either way, it was an emergency stop. I got beside her after a period of severe full beam tailgaiting and found to my surprise that she was going fucking mad. She was seething. Shouting and swearing at me and that.

I didn't intend this to be racist, but she reminded so much of a monkey in a cage throwing her shit about that I made loud monkey noises and was scratching under my arm and the like. This made her fucking WILD. She actually spat twice at me, even though her window was up. I could only imagine what she must have done when I knocked the fuck out of her wing mirror.

fook the cagers, i ride about 2/3 across from the left of my lane an if they wanna overtake they gotta proper go round me, i have been known to kick a mirror or 2 if they get too close for comfort too, once had some fooker get out of his car and start giving it some verbal, i told him that if he didn't try to bully his way back into my lane there would have been no problem, he went off threatening to report me !!!! what a t0ss3r.

if they get proper angry and look like there gonna tw@t ya just ride off ! (yea chicken i know but...)

i wish physics was reversed in some way that if a bike hit a car, the car would be worse off. sometimes these pricks take advantage because they won't get hurt as bad as we would. maybe i need to buy a gun and shoot their tyres.

Ive noticed recently that nice 30-40 year old guys who drive brand new sporty cars (S3, ST, Impreza, Evo) give me space to overtake, its like a mutual respect between them and us, they know we can get past and not interrupt their journey time and they let us past.

Its scruffy looking 40+'s in their used mondeos/vectras that seem the biggest problem atm, they have shit cheap ex fleet cars and dont care what happens.

Ahhh this will be the first of many morons you encounter. They're everywhere, out to get us. Just be a better road user than them. Often better to ignore them and ride off as it frustrates them even more and you can smile inwardly as you rose above their idiocy and saved yourself energy and stress so you can continue your journey safely without being worked up. After all, we're just trying to get from point A to point B, right? We can do it faster with more style and they're very jealous of that. We filter whilst they wait in traffic, we overtake in spaces they can't. We park for free in many pay and display car parks. We don't pay congestion charges. We pay pittance for road tax and insurance compared to them. We use much less fuel than them (except the bigger bikes).

Sorry maybe of the topic...

But you said we don't pay congestion charge can you confirm this is correct?

[jack_zxr400]

so many are like that

the other day I was riding back to southend from colchester and not far from home the bike ran out of fuel so I pulled over and put the bike on reserve, then some wankers in a white van slowed down and started shouting and swearing at me then drove off, and I was like... what.. the.. fuck?

you get some real twats on the road

When someone pulls out in front of me, I tend to sit behind them with my finger on the horn for as long as possible.

10 seconds: Oh, he'll shut up in a minute.

30 seconds: What a nob.

1 minute: Oh, shit. Is he going to follow me all the way home?

5 minutes: Oh fucking hell, there's a murderous psychopath behind me.

My record is 8 minutes of continuous horn-blowing and abuse ("your grandparents are both pig fuckers and I'm going to shit in your mouth later just for a laugh!") going up the M65.

I'll get arrested one day.





Thing is, I normally just give a little 'beep' at first as if to say "Look, I'm here, you could have killed me." It's when they don't respond (a little wave to say sorry would be fine) that I get incredibly, massively angry.

It's usually BMW's that I end up playing this little game with.

I drive a BMW...you can't miss it..."Think Bike" signs in the rear window along with a 'Not Fussed M.C.C.' sticker.

Feel free to tar us all with the same brush though.

Sorry to hear about your brush with the usual pompous BMW type of driver wisenerl but you will get used to it & there not all like that.
When I started to ride bikes it was VOLVO drivers that acted that way thought they owned the roads and drove accordingly.

P.s. is that the new shape of renault 5 that you drive
