What the ? Youtube Bikers

[slim63]

I will admit to being a naughty boy & yes it was worth it

After a dickhead in a nova tried to kill me I got past him, dropped my bike in the middle of a hump back bridge to stop the idiot & had "words"...... my right hand hurt for a week but I bet he looks out for bikers now
Pulled a wagon driver out of his truck & put him face down in a puddle until he listened to my opinion on his driving
Left a cyclist gasping for breath & throwing up because he put my daughters life at risk
Tried to pull an idiot out of his car through the window because he nearly T boned the mrs on an roundabout
I chased a range rover driver to 20 odd miles down a motorway & would still be chasing him if I hadn't gone onto reserve, that was the closest call I have had on a bike & still makes me upset 10 years on, mainly because the mrs was on the back at the time

Make of it what you will but at the time I felt the need to make a point, nowadays a couple of those incidents would pass with just a few choice words but if I ever find that range rover driver he's going down hard, no excuses !

Worth getting a criminal record for?

Or a good beating, working on the basis there is always someone bigger than you?

I'm playing devil's advocate I know, adrenaline fuelled anger is hard to control at times.

But the potential consequences don't bear thinking about.

Exactly my own thoughts nowadays, I wont make excuses for my actions in the past & cant say it wont happen again but its becoming more & more unlikely as I get older & hopefully wiser.

Not a lot of anger involved in any of the above incidents just a cold determination to get my point across no matter what, hard to explain but I've been beaten before & just about everyone is bigger than me, makes absolutely no difference if I get into that state of mind, win or lose its going to happen

Stop & say sorry that was my fault is the best course of action imo

 

[Centaur]

Is it really worth it??

I have been there more than once on a motorised cycle when some knob - not always in a car- has carved me up/pulled out in front/whatever and the adrenaline surges.

So you retaliate, knock a wing mirror off, kick the door, whatever.

What does it achieve other than possibly escalation, sitting on a motorised cycle is not a good place to be if that happens.

I know it's not easy, twenty seconds rational thinking and they are out of your life forever.

I think they are going to bury you in Westminster Abbey with the other saints when you fall off your perch, Andy.

Sorted out for you, Slim.

You think I will die?

Nah, I am immortal.

Dreadful spelling, Andy. Immoral is the word you meant.

 

[ianrobbo1]

Although "Moron" would fit nicely.

At least I don't keep old broken white goods in my garden.

That would be a bit pikey.

As it happens the "Pikey" that collected it was very happy to do so, I got rid of some scrap that would have cost me to get shot of, and he makes a couple of quid. I call that a "win-win"

No doubt it will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe manner by said pikey.

Not.

Saintly??? I booted the side of a merc after the twat cut me up in Wakefield when my kids were in the car, if he hadn’t been quick in putting his window up I’d have dragged him out.
Booted the side of a volvo after I’d picked Bev up from Lgi after an op on her leg.
Booted window of a taxi when I was on my previous bb, I was slowing for the traffic lights when the taxi started to cut right in front of me.
Ran a youth off the road on the way back to Chelmsford from Southend.
Again in Chelmsford, car right up my arse flashing his lights, looked in the mirror & he was signalling for me to pull over, brother in law was in the back & he looked round & said “he’s a copper” I pulled over & the copper got out (his own car) & approached, he tried to tell me I was speeding, I asked him where his proof was, he told me he had been keeping up with me to monitor my speed, so I pointed out that he’d been speeding as well, ended up with me telling him if I got out of my car his next journey would be in an ambulance, he left pretty quickly, brother in law was gobsmacked.

You are nails Dirk. True Northerner.

Sorted out for you, Slim.

Not necessarily. I can deadlift 50kg more than I could five years ago

I nearly took a motorcycle out filtering onto the M20 shortly after we first moved over here on the way to work. Winter, dark and raining; not good. Fortunately, I did nothing more than scare the shit out of him but I did make a point of (safely) catching up to the bike, pulling alongside him and apologising. He glared at me like he (understandably) wanted to throttle me but I’m hoping he appreciated the gesture after he’d cooled off.

Unfortunately.

Unfortunately reaction before brains.

The funniest one I ever had was when I had my L200, I was approaching some lights, as I’m going through they changed but a geriatric on an even older Suzuki blasted through his light before it had chance to change, I saw what he did so I swerved to avoid him, he wobbled a bit but managed to keep upright, next thing he comes tearing up behind me so I pulled over, he drew alongside me so I let the window down so we could talk, he was ranting & raving so much spit was flying into my face. Eventually he threw a half hearted punch which missed, I told him “conversation over” & started to pull away, he tried holding on to my car but lost his grip & his bike fell over with him on it, I pulled over further up & got out, he got on his bike but couldn’t start it, when he eventually got it going he went the opposite way.

I cant never been much into lifting weights unless it was chucking bike engines onto the bench for a rebuild, now I struggle with a poxy 600 bandit engine where I used to chuck bloody heavy gs1000 engines up there with ease (can hardly get those buggers off the floor now)

That’s called a beer belly. Fatty.
