RE: Your reaction to Brain dead Cagers
I"ve cursed them out on a rare occasion. The last time I had my daughter with me so I let the driver have it verbally. I usually chill and let it go - maybe just a simple bird.
I've toyed with the idea of mounting a kids baseball bat under the tour pak. This would remove a mirroe in short order.
If I didn't flip it in the process

I expect it and it occasionally happens. I don't get up tight about it. It's part of the ride.

Hey, If I give a guy an earfull, maybe even berate him to the point that it ruins his day, he will moer than likely pay more attention. So when the same idiot pulls up to a stop sign and remembers the *** chewing he got, he is not as likely to pull out in front of you. Which may save your life. How is that not taking responsibility?

It's not just cagers to watch out for.I drive a 5 ton truck for a living.Yesterday,I had a kid on a Honda,pull out in front of me.He hit the breaks hard,I almost put my truck in the ditch avoiding him.Wet roads,inexperience and late for an apointment almost killed him.

A lady cut me off yesterday so I throttled around her and got in front of her at the upcoming red light. I saw she was turning left so I stopped way behind the car in front of me so then when she caught up, we would be side by side. Since there was no other traffic I put down the kickstand and waited for her to pull up. She would not pull up.
I just got back on the bike and left. She knew she screwed up.

Well my apperanceusually scares the hell out of the general public, so I just go with it. Ride up along the drivers side, give them a look of death, make one of those throat cutting motions or something equally as unnerving, rev the bike a few times, then just get going. It's extremely hilarious when they're stuck at the intersection and won't go until I'm FAR away.

I don't think cause the guy never heard "cager" it makes him new. my old man is 77 and he still rides, he never heard it til I told him the other day. and shoot, he's been ridin his whole life. he just dosn't hang out in the rub groups and get into the lingo and chrome...he just rides.
as far as the "cagers" to me it's just part of the ride. I'm out there to have fun, and I'm not gonna get myself so spun up that it ruins my ride that day. I just expect everybody to pull out in front of me and then I'm good to go.

Welcome to the forum.
You must be a new rider if you have never heard the term cager. And I think most of us are (or were) first and foremost car drivers.

I rarely get suprized by a, "cager'? never heard that term but I get it. I am first and foremost a car driver and think like them so when on the bike I am pretty good at anticipating a bonehead manouver. I did have a guy come out from a sidestreet one night when I was coming, extremely fast. I swerved around the car but manged to kick out his corner light on the way by.
