if i could tell what she was doing, and have that much detail, why was I not paying more attention to the road. I should not have been in that position if I was paying more attention to the road and not zipping around on a bike.

its hard for some people to admit that they were the ones at fault... Wouldn't it be nice to have someone rudely cut you off almost causing an accident follow you into a gas station or something and come up and apologize for their wrong doing? yup dreamin!

Check out "Close Call Thread" #33 in Riding/Technique. There is one person who has actually followed one of our members to appologize for their mistake. Sadly that's the only time I have read of this though.
I do strongly recommend this thread as a positive outlet to close calls and the lessons learned could save your life.

I hate to admit to this, but yes, I have kicked a few people's mirriors off their cars for similar crap. I know I know, bad me, but what the hell are the mirrors for if they aren't using them? Half the time its kicking the mirror, the door panel, or pulling right up along side and tap on their window and telling them just how smart they really are, to get them to "wake up" inside their cage.

I love the people who just look at you like you're the idiot who just made the mistake...:roll:

That is Awesome a CL add for that!

Ya my bad for actually riding up college on a nice day.... I had some chick flat out cut me off then slam on her brakes in front of me. A stoppie when your not planning on doing one is pretty fucking scary. So when I pull up next to her at the light ( about 10 ft ahead) she was yelling at me for almost hitting her! I had to restain myself from going over there and punching this man bitch looking thing right in the snot locker. well sad news is that the weather is turning shitty so I'm prob gonna be putting the bike up for winter and making a few monds to it

I saw that ad. Killed me. I thought it was pretty funny because that's how it is. She'll be hot but dumb as a box of rocks.

I had someone apologize to me once. She merged into my lane so I slammed on the brake... little stoppie...so I rode up in the left land and gave her the look with a head shake....she followed me to the gas station and apologized for almost killing me and paid for my gas. She said she used to ride and knows how freaky it is having someone merge into you. Guess it was on off day for her...almost hitting a biker when she's a ex-biker in a cage...oh well I made off with a full tank.

did you get a quart of oil out of her as well???:)
james,
i think it was a good idea and maybe something we should try to do.
post up "sale" of information to the people who go out of their way to try to kill.
try for sale items like "high horse" or "cell phone blocker"
you get the idea

Oh yeah, I am familiar with the old expression "high horse" but wasn't sure if you had a different meaning for it in that post. Would be very applicable to SUV drivers, eh?
Maybe we could start posting vehicle descriptions and license numbers of A-hole drivers on Craig's list. I wonder if they would allow that.

i doubt it.....they would hop on their "high horse" and find someway to cut us off from posting non-sale items.

yes I used missed connections I constantly use them to just see what other cretins are yapping about, maybe some one I know is trying to find me. lol Anyways after many months of useless searching I decided to post my own add more on just a humor thing then really caring about if found any one.
