The world would be a better place if we would all just mellow out a little bit

 

I agree with seikan... You probably should have shot out his rear tire and watched him endo... Then pointed at him and laughed... Then used some Schwarzenegger line like: "Flip that Suckah".... That would have changed his religion [8D]

 

I'm offended at this whole thread and all the wise A$$ remarks. All of you just wasted my time. I'm tired of hearing from all of you Old F***ers and all of you Noobs. [:@]

How 'bout this, You revved him, he moves over so you can pass and he can getback in the good lane. Instead, you fart around for 2 miles before you finally pass him. He figures you did it just to **** him off and it worked. Just a thought.

 

Last old guy who flipped me off was walking on the sidewalk. I was ridin with my Father inlaw (age 55)who seemed to get more pissed than I did... I just laughed. I'm not a spring chicken by any means, but at the same time I do get annoyed with the antics of the younger generation constantly trying to show off on their bikes.

 

the older you get the less tolerance you have for ignorance. wait until you have around 30 years experience at a particular job and end up with a crew that has about half of them in there early twentys and green as grass. putting up with that is enough to make anybody a grouchy old bastard

 

This thread will give someone the false impression about Old dudes.
Someone is gonna roll up on a Old dude and say, "What did you flip me off for? - Ya old ***** F$$ker?"
Then that old guy is gonna kick his ***.

 

I'm not sure I understand why your are so surprised at his reaction. By your recollection of events ... I bet I know exactly what he was thinking ... Might have been completely unwarranted, but understandable. He can only comprehend your outward actions ... Hehad no way of knowing what was actually going on. To him ... you were just a couple of goofs on bikes doing what goofs do best.

 

A few members of our motorcycle chapter are STILL trying to figure out why we were flipped the bird by a guy riding on the opposite side of the roade on one of those low to the ground 3 wheel bicycles up in a somewhat rural part of Vermont. We were just riding along at the posted speed, and none of us has particularly obnoxious pipes (well, ONE guy's is a BIT on the loud side if he sits at a light and revs it). One of the guys said he wondered what bicyle man's reaction would have been if we'd all turned around and chased him down to ask what his problem was. But then, that would probably have just cemented the guy's obviously low opinion of us. Point is, we were just riding the open air and enjoying the country side same as he was.
