I too try to make as much room as possible for the rider. Most of the time they always wave at me or give me a thumbs up for doing so.

One thing I don't understand is how it's ok to fold somebodies mirror in while in motion.

1. What if the car doesn't have folding mirrors. Does the biker keep pushing until he breaks something or until the car finally moves and the biker loses his balance.
2. It's dangerous and pretty stupid. Most likely the biker will get hurt.
3. Isn't it illegal to touch somebodies property without the approval or some BS like that.

To recap on this and how stupid some bikers are. My friend was at a Sunrise(doesn't suprise me that it happened on this road) intersection one day being the first car at the light. Patiently waiting with other cars behind him, some biker tried to squeeze through his car and the car next to him that had stopped pretty close to my friends car. As he was moving through, sort of zig zagging to dodge the mirrors, he clipped my friends bumper and fender denting the bumper in and pulling out the part of the fender that attaches to the bumper. Needless to say my friend yells at him that he just hit his car. The biker gives him that WTF look and yells, "NO!!! You hit me!!". I can't seem to understand how the motionless car hit him. So my friend stays calm and tries to call the cops to report his plate numbers. The biker guy saw him do that and got beside him so that he wouldn't get it down in time. I guess he tried to fold in the mirror, but my friends car is a 2000 Eclipse, and they don't have folding mirrors so that didn't work out. I guess while trying to fold his mirrors in my friend through his water bottle at him and landed it straight into the side of his head. The biker lost control of the bike and went down along with the bike. They weren't going that fast, maybe 35-40 mph so I don't think the guy got that hurt.

SOOOOOOOOO with that being said, be safe children.

 

So did he get the plate numbers? hehe

 

i'd like to see a biker-boy squid vs. sikmach incident...




the worst thing i've ever had happen on the road was some jerk off in a lifted chevy cut me off on an off-ramp. i gave the guy the bird and the horn, he was kind enough to throw his water bottle through my open passenger side window (of my car) at the next light. turns out the dude was built like an anorexic version of Ed and was using his truck as prosthetic ***** or something. this was a few years ago and pre-desk job (so about 50 pounds ago) so the guy pretty much **** himself when i followed him to a gas station and thumped him in the head with his own water bottle.

 

eThug

 

I smell a road rage thread growing here.

 

You know, I never asked him, I was too busy laughing at him that he got clipped by a bike and then owning the biker. Now that I look back at it, it wasn't that funny, but pretty stupid.

 

Dude, you have windows on your bike? That's so cool.

 

No, Russ is just confused. Besides he could never ride a bike since they do not have automatic transmissions...

 

this from the guy who just had to race a Firebird and a Mustang down hwy 50 one night.

 

zing. actually, i would never ride a bike because i'm a puss.

 

I wish they didn't

 

well they have bikes with V8's now, so an auto doesnt surprise me at all. i just got off the phone with the guy, his dad will be overnighting the bill of sale and stuff this way today (might have already done it), so i should be getting the bike tomorrow. and as lame as this is, a chick i work with will be riding with me tomorrow to give me pointers and such. i just want to see her.......

 

That's not lame, that's jackpot.

"Yeah, hold on a little tighter.........al little lower.........a little lower.......giggity giggity giggity!"

 

lol, naw dude, she'll be riding her bike and ill be riding mine. i actually really like this chick too, so wish me luck.

 

good luck with both... riding the bike and riding the chick. whatever you do, don't become a "friend".
