That's the attitude my dad instilled in me when teaching me to drive. Everyone out there is a nutter and it's best to assume they are trying to kill you.

I've never tried using it as an excuse for a speeding ticket though, i wonder what the outcome would be if i had.... :roll:

I know of 2 other guys who thought the same thing. It just depends on how determined the other person is. Both of these people were 'chased' at a distance for over 20 mins until they were in the right spot and then run over. Each time by a 4WD. Both thought that they had lost the driver of the 4WD a long time ago and were completely blindsided when they were hit.

Kill Zem..........Kill Zem all :D
Sorry Tim I'm just not that soft......the more damage you do to these airheads the more driver's that become aware of the possible consequences of cutting into me, or others for that matter.
This argument has occured on another thread from memory, with the same participents too I believe :shock: :roll:

Speakin of kickin cars.. as a last resort while crossing the M2 on lane cove road a few years back i booted the door of a car after he almost ended up knockin me over.. me being on a ZZr250 i didnt have the grunt to get out of it, I did however nearly knock myself off the bike!! Imagine how embarrassing that would have been!! The best case of road rage i have seen was a push bike rider not far from wynard station.. i am all for a kick if it keeps u and your motorcycle upright!! Dents can be fixed easier then broken bones..

" One of which i was level with his drivers window."
I like it when i glare at them and they pretend they can't see me and then look straight ahead focusing ever so seriously on the traffic in front.

I travel about 300km per week in peak hour conditions, there's always something to contend with. I'm running staintune pipes and in some cases it's like waving a red rag in front of a bull.

Wot p...es me off are cigarette butt missiles, XXbazooka.gif they must throw their ashtrays away to save emptying them.

Get's a man hopping mad.

People,

We are not talking about road rage re mirrors ! road rage is an exchange of verbal and/or physical assault between 2 drivers....the mirror is gone before they know what happened, you need to strike with stealth ! :lol:

I think your confused ! :lol:

....when your knocking a mirror you pick your moment too, you obviously not gonna do if they can follow ya ! use your initiative ! :lol:

yea i had my licence for a week before a chic in a BMW tried to merge into me.... I had to slam on the anchors and give her some horn, she didnt know what she did untill her friends told her.... she was very apologetic at the next set of lights just hope she learns from her lesson and is more careful from now on! Next time the rider may not react as quickly...
Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ...Holy shit...What a ride!

Doesnt matter if your a motorcyclist or a cyclist, Car drivers will try and take you off. Have heard of cyclists smashing windows and caving cars in because people have hit them ran close, thrown stuff at them and so on. Dont Know what it is but because you have 2 wheels cagers seem to think its fine to put you in hospital or pushin up daisys.

[quote="ZX9erguy"] His reply when i upped him at the next round about "yeah i saw you but you are a bike you dont need a full lane" \quote]

that is when you reply by kicking off his rear view mirror and say " you dont use it so, you dont need it anyway!!!"

I remember hearing about someone who used to keep a couple of old spark plugs in a pocket when riding and used to peg them at the windows if someone tried taking them out.

Tempting thought though.
