LOL. I suppose one could try....

My busted knee isn't helping tho. It's been nearly 6 weeks that I am out, and all the weight that I had shed has now been regained. And no idea when it'll be 100%

Just give yourself time to heal and don't rush it

Exercise around the knee, do plenty of upper body work, keep the reps up weight low

Hacked off..

I almost got side swiped by two fing cagers on the way into work.

First guy in the big suv, on the cell, on to the freeway and across three lanes breaking across a solid white into the carpool lane. All with no turn signal.

Second guy had to be in his 70's, must have forgotten how to drive, his head never even moved. He looked strait ahead no turn signal and jerked it hard across a solid white line into me. Very near miss.

Did you know I can ride backwards while using sign language?

Cars are not stupid, its the drivers....

Skorpia stop, your getting me all hot.

In my younger days it was just as easy to remove the mirror.

No point in them having it if their not going to use it.

have yet to take off a mirror. but about 8 years ago there was a silver benz running around phx with a dent in the drivers door. stupid lady was drinking coffee and talking on the cell when she drifted into my lane. i had no place to go so i side kicked her door as hard as i could without knocking myself into the wall...left a nice fat dent

best part - when i kicked the door, i scared her so bad she yanked the wheel over hard going the other way and almost took out the car on her other side. im sure she went on home change her undies after that...

So far I've heard you like bikes, violence and you said something about undies, but I'm going to assume you said thong.

Your a keeper

I bet she burnt her hoohoo with that hot coffee

Be safe chicky sometimes they "try" to chase you down.

Thanks, gentlemen.

Sentanta, have a look at a book called "Body by Science" - might be your cup of tea.

Then we should be taking out the indicators (turn signals?) too!

Some 4x4 (SUV) nearly ran me over the other day as it, just like that, pulled into the road from it's parking space. There was no rear lights of any kind - it just pulled out! If I had not noticed that the 4x4 had wobbled just a moment before, it would have ran me over good and proper.

There should be on the spot fines for that sort of thing. Fines such as tyre slashing, punch in the face, driving ban for life etc.

While I agree with these options, Strummin, I rather like the idea of instant death penalty. Cagers would all think (and look) twice before pulling out then, I promise you.

Dead right!

I had a clown change lanes and move over on me going into a roundabout last week. I chased him and when I caught up to him to say G'day

, the pr!ck moved over on me again. He still had'nt seen me, the d!ckhead. So I gently adjusted his mirror so he got the idea of what I was on about.

The funny thing is that after riding all these years, it does'nt scare you as much as it should because you sort of expect it sometimes, but I get so
p!ssed off with their stupidity. I just BOIL.

I think instant death might be too good for people like that... hummm, maybe they should be burnt at the stake or maybe even be subjected to 150 hours straight listening to the Birdie song?

So is knocking someone off their bike because you were too f*cking lazy to look or talking on the phone.

Simple truth is that our lives are in our own hands when we ride, we should never expect other road users to look after our sorry asses.

I couldn't agree more

GypsyRebel · 07-01-2009, 1:26 PM

I agree with the statement but there is simple coutesty. I was at a stop light to make left hand turn onto major street, behind me is a guy in a suv

ok there is a cross walk with a person crossing the street with the light. Alright light changes person starts to cross street, I start my left turn but waiting for the person to get to the other side. The guy in the suv does not want to wait for me to make turn he is crowding into the turn left

even before the person has cross the street.

I was what *&%$

but I made turn as the person hurrys to get out of the way of suv, the person in the car next to me (going the other way) you could see them like saying

what the heck is this guy doing?

one time I wish the heck a police officer would have been there but of course not.

I agree, it's called an acceptable risk.

But at the same time flagrant violations such as cutting across a solid line (car pool lane) while only one person is in the cage (need two). And almost killing someone should be dealt with accordingly.

In the states most the time a biker is killed due to the actions of a cager. The cager is MAYBE cited, very very rarely do they receive a harsher penalty.

Maybe the laws across the pond are better.

Oh agree with you, I was mainly refering to evryday riding and leaving the mad days out. No matter how hard we try there can always be some idiot that will mess us up.
Nope laws aint any better here
