I learned that in car vs. bike...car wins.
Yes, there are too many bad, raging or just plain idoit drivers.
As tempting as it is to give the finger...don't. Some cagers will try to run you over.
Just gas or brake and get far away from any idiot.

 

I havent had anything really serious happen, except once when someone in a blue jeep followed me yelling in german or something, he sounded angry and he was honking is horn and driving fast to be behind me, i couldnt even understand him, i split lanes and got out of there quick

most times when a cager does something stupiud like cut in front of me or tries to turn without looking, i pull up and drive side by side and just give him an evil look. haha cant see my eyes through the tinted goggles. he usually makes the first turn in the opposite direction he can.

 

I agree with you Kenny94945 but sometimes don't you just want to beat them into the ground.

 

It's infuriating and most people's first reaction is to retaliate but the equation always comes out the same: car vs. motorcycle = car wins. Don't let someone get to you. Try to be above it. Easier said than done I know but our best revenge is to continue on our merry way enjoying a feeling the cagers don't get. I refuse to allow someone to ruin my good vibe.
If you allow someone else to control your emotions, the terrorists win.

 

Don't know why, but in 45 yrs of riding I can't recall ever being fkd with by a cage intentionally. I must be oblivious or just don't give a fk.

 

Lit cigarettes, spitting out the window on purpose are all things cagers do, some obviously intentional and some isn't. Retaliation isn't always the answer so sometimes you have to let go I think. But if someone were to make me feel threatened of life and limb, well, thats why I have a concealed carry permit.

 

I found it best to ignore the cagers. Hell, I'm riding to chill out to begin with. Plus it pisses them off when your ignore them. LOL. It works for me.

 

Yeah, some do ... when it arcs up to the left/right & over (missing their windshield by a mile) ... it is intentional. I saw a guy way back in high school who used to get his kicks by doing that to people.
I just hadn't been a target of that brand of stupidity since high school. Can't say I like it much more now than then ... but at least he got his giggles for the day. Karma is a *&%$#.

Got my groove back a few miles down the road ... and just detailed my bike AGAIN, so I am ready for the next round. LOL

 

I just keep a grease pencil in my pocket and when something happens I write the license # on my gastank or cap and report it to the police. When not needed the grease pencil wipes right off without leaving a mark.

 

Just get over it!
