Had an interesting experience the other day. I was riding along having a great time humming a Stevie Ray Vaughn tune to myself as I saw a fellow Harley rider comming towards me about to overtake two cars. I moved towards the side of the road to allow him to overtake the cars, and as he passed me I nodded to him as he was going by.As I nodded he hung of the side of his bike giving me a big thumbs downI wasn't sure what that was about and thought that maybe he was telling me to slow down, police whatever ?? Anyway, I was comming to a T intersection and glanced behind me and here he is tearing up behind me and started revving the shit out of his 06 night train?? I turned the corner to the left and he went to pass me on the wrong side of the road and then aimed his bike directly at me trying to Intimidate meI simply held my line and thought if you hit me, you will go down as well. At the last minute he realized he had too much corner speed for the approaching right hander and put two realy nice scratches on his pipes while just managing to get around the corner ???? When he was 50 or so meters ahead of me he started to angrily wave me beside him which I didn't do because I thought the idiot might try and run me into oncomming traffic. I waited until we were in two lanes going one way and rode up beside him to find out what his f#@$ing problem was and with that he just rode off and I haven't seen him since, GO FIGURE ???? I have been riding bikes for about 34 years in one shape or another and this guy just embarasses me as a Harley rider. I dont know whether he thought I was a yuppy bike rider or he mistook me for someone else or he was just trying to be tough, either way I dont really care, I just thought what a moron and went back to my SRV tune, Like Lennon said,life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans. Just thought I would share. Maybe it was that time of the month.
Drugs?
Anyway, Darwin's theory of evolution usually sort these out eventually
Hey shadowhand thats pretty funny,I've never had a bike rider hide in a tree and wizz out at me I'll look forward to that one and you may be right Dazza it could be my nod or I could be that ugly it just makes people mad ?? I'll work on it.
Thing is he wasn't a kid,he was in his 30's at least. I think he ended up scaring himself more than me trying to get around the right hander. But like you said it was a bit unsettling mainly because when he was heading at me from behind I didn't know whether he had a club or whatever on him and if he thought I was someone else ? so it was difficult to keep one eye on him and the other one on the corner aheadif I see him again I will be sure to ask him what the problem was,politely of course.
Ha ha.. had the exact same happen to me but i was in a car and he was on a VW trike...the kicker was when he put his back wheel in front of my door when we stopped....and said"its blokes like you that kill blokes like us" and took off ...hmmm
They are everywhere,thats why we need BATMAN
It was proberly robbin on ice and pissed at batman
I hate when you get young kids (p platers) sit right up your ass to hear
the roar of the hog, Get to lights or stop sign, say something and all the say is that sounds
AWSOME
And if you see a wheel behind a tree ready to come out at ya
WHEN IN DOUT ACCELERATE OUT
Hey hogbag,lets hope the guy behind you isn't looking at his girlfriends legs when you hit the brakes or adjusting the radio or looking for a street or checking the time or picking his nose (could break his finger) or is 80 years old and has no reflexes. Just a thought.
huh i'm glad i'm not your pillion
