Tonight after I had dinner I decided to just ride around town for fun and also to pick up some smokes...

Rode around for about 40 minutes or so and went downtown...

While riding downtown I was on "main street" and riding pretty sane and within the speed limit because so many cars were on this road. The sun had almost set and most cars had their lights on. This road has 3 lanes on each side with a hude grass median and stoplights are present every other block or so.

While riding in the right hand lane I look into my left mirror and see this car RIGHT ON MY A$$... and I mean right on it! His lights were off. I was pretty pissed and looked over at him as he pulled beside me and gunned the gas and he passed me (almost hitting the rear bumper of the car ahead of him) and cut in front of me in my lane. I was steaming! So the next light turns red and I pull right up behind him and stop. I relaxed and said "ok". But I looked in his side mirror and saw the driver and his buddy laughing. Ok, that did it for me! I was pissed. And what made me so mad is that these idiots in their cars aren't even thinking about who they could be hurting by their stupidity! So... I "lane split" and got right up next to the driver side window and just started laying into those two fools! I was cussing everything you can think of, so imagine that.... and the driver leaned away back towards his passenger. Well, the light turned green and I kicked the dude's door. They just sped off and cut more people off as they wanted to get as far away from me as possible. I wanted to chase them but didn't. Besides, they're in a car and I'm on a bike (alone) and nothing would have been accomplished by doing so.

Maybe that idiot will think twice next time about trying to tailgate a cycle rider in heavy traffic... who knows? He was some redneck punk in silver Civic. I doubt he'll change. I hope I left a dent on his door, but I doubt I did because I didn't really get a very good kick at it.

What I did wasn't the smartest thing... but it sure felt right at the time and I think it needed to be done.
 
I hope I don't get my posting privileges yanked for this. Found it on another site.

You know I myself have experienced the idiots like these about 3 times now and it finally got to me. I went to Lowe's and bought a 24" cut of chain. I wrap it around my neck sometimes when I ride and lust tuck the lose ends inside my jacket. The next fugwad that does something to endanger my life on purpose I am just gonna grab the chain and bust a window out for them. Trust me 24" of thick chain will do some damage. I haven't had to use it yet but I like knowing its there.
 
that wont last long!

(the picture not the chain)

I carry ball bearings.

You did the right thing. They could have hurt more people if you would have chased them.

Why does the movie "final Destination" come to mind..


I wouldnt recomend riding around with a chain around your neck... that could turn out to be a very bad thing in an accident
 
As much as I hate to say it... It is better to shine those fools on... Regardless of how much faster and manueverable we are... They are heavier and more likely to get away with "ACCIDENTALLY" hitting and killing you. I used to carry ballbearings but found that a handfull of change works just as well. Just be careful because some people would think nothing of running you right the *uck over. Be safe and vigilant.

As angry as we get at all of the stupid cagers out there, you have to be careful alot of them do carry guns.Yoy won't be able to ride if your dead.I kicked this guys butt on the freeway in his Dodge Hemi pickup.He thought he could beat me in a race.He was so pi$$ed he tried to run me off the road,sore loser.

That's funny because just the other day at a stoplight a guy in a big turbo diesel truck said "you wanna run and see what she's got?". I actually said yeah... but I was turning left and he was going straight. After I said "yeah" he just said "nah man I was just joking"...
 
I'm just glad you are okay there have been way too many riders down.I have issues w/women in mini vans on the phone...or if you're really luckey eating and doing their makeup. Is'nt that what you are supposed to do when you are driving?

ya know its funny you posted this cause some time back (a couple of months ago) i had just bought my new 1000 and took the back road home....as i came up on three cars i slowed down and stayed off their butt....shortly after that the last car pulled over and then pulled back out on the road and started to hit me with their high beams and tail the crapola out of me. When we both pulled up to the light i ask what was wrong and got an ear full...

I had a very bad day at work and wasent in the mood for this...i asked "whats wrong?" and he went off telling me that my light was in his eyes (maybe it was) but damn, im sick of being run down constantly by cars and decieded to give them the bussiness...i called their bluff and then planted my alpinestars in the side off their door....

they then gave chase and it was fun...i did a quick loop and returned home....i know it was not the right thing to do but sometimes one has all he can take.....

However, carrying a weapon you also carry great responsibility. And never initiate or escalate a confrontation.

Thats why I will not carry my Glock when I ride, I would get pi**ed and do something stupid. I stopped carrying it in my car because of that.

Yeppur...me too.  Try and hit me purposely w/ your car and your tires are getting shot out at a minimum.  But DO NOT brandish w/out lawful intent...meaning defending yourself against an imminent threat of bodily harm or death.

Oh and practice left handed.
