Fcuken Cagers!

[clay]

I just went for a ride down through Mt Druitt, Blacktown, Kings Langley, Seven Hills, Northmead and back.

I'm coming back on the Gt Western Hwy, heading west, not far before Carlisle Ave I'm sitting in the right lane (3 lanes) and some wanker in a 4WD Benz pulls out from a street on the right straight after the car in front of me passes and pulls right in front of me. I'd been watching him so I was prepared, geared down and was on the front brake. Pushed my horn button (which sounds pussy as btw) and got in to the middle lane on my left. I rode up next to him and gave him the bird. Fortunately we got the next red light (set of lights before Carlisle Ave). I put my visor up and ask the twat "Didn't you see me?". And he responds with, "No, I didn't mate, put your lights on!" I said, "I'm not your fcuken mate, it's the middle of the day, and my light is on, it comes on every time I start the bike and what difference does that make anyway you expletive!" He's all like, "Just stick to your L Plates, don't worry about me." I said "I've got to worry about fcukwits like you, if I didn't I'd be splattered all over the road. I'm the one on my L's, and I've got to cover your mistakes you expletive! How about you pay more attention and keep an eye out for bike riders, expletive!" He's wound his window up now and just ignoring me. I was so tempted to jump off the bike and put his head through the fcuken windscreen. But he had to be 50. Still wankers like this really piss me off! He deserves a right hand on his dumb ass chin!

I couldn't believe his response about putting my lights on.

Anyway, just had to tell someone. I'm good now.

Glad you hae here to tell the story Clay, well thats just reality that bit you on the bum........ you could have done a Hoff & taken his mirror with you

[MrWasabi]

If he gave me that attitude i would have punched his mirror off. specially to some snub wanker in an over priced kids soccer bus.
But some people are truelly apologetic and claim it was an honest mistake, those i tend to be a little bit more forgiving.

Glad to hear you are ok tho.

[clay]

Haha, yeh I considered it. But the prick probably would've taken my plate down and I'd have the cops knocking on my door.

Like you said, just his attitude about it was wrong. He should've just admitted his fault and copped it on the chin instead of being an arrogant prick.

[smithy5]

It's good to see you got away unscaved with that one Clay............. Remember it's not over now, this is only one of many more to follow....... Continue to ride like every cage is out to get you and you might survive the next one also...........































I still would have taken his mirror out like a judge slamming the gavel on the bench and yelled at him GUILTY YOU MOTHER FUCKER.....

[Gosling1]

....... you could have done a Hoff & taken his mirror with you .....

aaaaaahhh, is there *anything* out there, better than a good mirror-off story ??? Methinks not....

Good thing you were on the ball Clay, it is defensive riding like that, which will save your life. Don't get too stressed about the nob in the car though, the more time you spend on the roads, the more nobs you are likely to encounter. The old man was probably shitting himself anyway, and just trying to put on a brace face by talking to you. Most of them keep the windows up and just stare straight ahead !

[Saki]

Well i think iregarless you should have taken his mirror out. Plus if u had glvoes on which you should have, you could have punched a dent in his door, pushed the mirror back so it would have flexed, cared a scratch in the paint, Done heaps of stuff.

Wat an arrogant peice of shit! Next time it happens fuck em up!

[waynemorgan]

Glad you survived to write it up Clay - put it down to experience and prepare for many more

I know getting angry and giving them a spray or smashing the mirror would make you feel better but it doesn't make them WANT to look out for us next time. I find trying to stay calm and letting them know they nearly killed me and ask how they would feel if they were responsible for killing someone because they were too lazy to have a proper look gets a better response. If they don't apologise and promise to look out more in future or tries to defend his actions or starts to get lippy, then it's ok to smash his mirror off!

[Slow and wobbly]

Resisting ...........urge.............to.........reply..............


Ah fuck it
Dave is right revenge is only good if your defensive skills are well honed. Get over it and tell your story walking. Happens everyday. Car, truck or bike.


Just thought I'd pop in for a bit more antagonism

[robracer]

Place just wouldn't be the same Adrian

I agree with what Nelso said.
Explain the consequences of the cager's actions rationally and if they don't acknowledge their error, it is hello and goodbye.
Hello dent, goodbye mirror.

[shinnynoggon]

glad your ok,,,,,,i average 3 mirrors a week,,,,"f#ck them",,,,had a hanky head saw me coming and still backed out ,stopped in the middle of the road and when i came to a halt decided to go, pressed the horn and few past him, so he pressed his horn at me, " bad mistake ", pulls up behind me at the lights, so i put the stand down and starts walking towards him, stupid hanky head hits reverse straight into a car behind him , me just get back on the 12r and slowly rides off, as i said "fuckthem"

[Glen]

Good save mate. Like Mr T says "pity the fool".....there's no point getting agro because the knob won't learn even if he wasn't a knob he'll still fuck up every now and then. You've saved yourself and that makes the score 1 - nil so you win

Haha, love it!

Really the only thing that stopped me smacking him, or his Benz, was me worrying about him getting my plate and calling the fuzz on me.
