Had a close call coming to work today. Going south on Rte 146. Jersey barriers on my left and a lane of traffic on the right. A four door sedan sqeezed me pretty close to the jersey barrier. Must of been in the blind spot. Toot of the horn and the rear wheel sqeeling woke the lady up. As I past her I yelled "What the F***, She looked more scared than me. I got about 10 miles down the road and I felt a little bad. Shouldn't have sweared at her. It also made me appreciate some things I have been taking for granted. I guess you need to look at both sides of the coin.

 

Don't feel bad for someone elses mistake/poor driving. You just taught her a lesson that she should have learned in class when she was 15... to look over your shoulder before changing lanes.
She would have said the same thing if a big rig did the same to her..

 

I really liked the part about you cursing her it goes a long way to improve the image of all bike riders.

 

I'm doing my part I hand out dollar bills at stop lights. I hope your kidding, I know I am.

 

Yooouuu have got to be kidding? because that really comes across pretty crass!

Everybody is turning soft on us, it seems, and are worried about 'improving the image of all bike riders.' I don't see what the big deal is with the image as it is. I can see keeping the pipes quiet in residential area, etc...but if some dipshit about puts my *** into a concrete barrier, you can bet i'll be cussing with everything in me.

 

Tinkermc,
If you read the whole thread you would have saw that I felt bad about swearing and it was done after a close call. The point of the thread was that sometimes I take things for granted and it takes something like this to put things into perspective.

 

everybody makes mistakes.nuff said.

 

sorry to rob your thread but what does your TCC stand for as I have that as a registered trade mark
and use it on another forum

 

Just my initials.
