First run in with a cager (Road Rage)

[CBRRdee]

Ok, so here I am cruising on rt 28 in Salem NH heading into Methuen MA on Saturday afternoon. Lets say it's about 2:30 - 3:00 pm. It's two lanes going North and two lanes going South. So i'm in the left lane and traffic comes to a complete halt. So instead ramming into the back on the car I swerve into the right lane making sure that the car in the right lane is at the least 2 to 3 car lenghts behind me. As soon as I do that, traffic in that lane comes to a complete halt so I have to swerve over to the right of the car. As soon as I do that I see something fly out of the car behind me in my side view mirror and hit my bike. I turn around to see what it was, it was a f*cking 1/2 filled water bottle. So the car passes me and the guy is mouthing off. I point to him and nod my head up and down (like oh you done f*cked with the wrong brotha). So I follow them for two towns (Methuen and Lawrence). Every pause in traffic and every red light I beat, kicked, pounded, punched the car. I literally got off my bike in traffic. I think everyone was in shock. This car was brand new. It still had paper tags on it. So the guy is mouthing off "you swerved in front us, that's how bikers get killed". "So i said NO! people get killed for throwing shit at bikers". So I follow them some more and beat, kick, pound, and punch the car some more. So the girlfriend (the driver) of the guy lets down the window just enough so I couldn't punch her boyfriend but just enough to say something. Oh you guys are going to love this. This is some classic shyt. The F*cking girlfriend has the nerve to say "Can you please stop, I'm having a panic attack"... After I finished laughing my ass off. I kindly said "I don't give a f*ck if you're having a heart attack. When you're in the hospital thank your stupid ass boyfriend for throwing the water bottle. A panic attack. Here it is Monday evening and I'm still laughing about that comment. People are so f*cking stupid.

Well that's my exciting story for the weekend. Hope every dad had a good father's day....

aw...come on Mark...kick it off

[Doc]

This is a joke right? Oh boy this is gonna be a massacre! i am gonna hold my tongue for a bit though....
Anyone else wanna start?

[ku996r]

wow, I would be super pissed too, maybe for 30 sec. but then I probably would went on my way. somehow they do have 2 ton advantage on you and your bike.

my 2 cents.

[OreoGaborio]

Fellow rider or not, if I witnessed that I woulda taken pics/video with my digital camera, recorded your tag & called the cops.

[Doc]

and if I was the driver I would have punted you off the road. Fool.

Just because he threw a water bottle you have to harass him all that time?

Agreed you did nothing wrong UNTIL you start with the kicking and punching... violence begets violence... Couldn't you have picked up the baootle and thrown it back? Oh wait.... are you one of those riders with a vest?

[AnthonyGS500F]

Sounds to me you got what you deserved. You're lucky he didn't get out and just pound your ass into the ground and then run you over a few times for good measure.

[ZX-12R]

"So i said NO! people get killed for throwing shit at bikers".

Awesome line!

[ZX-12R]

Riding mistake or not, if someone starts something physical with you, make sure you finish it!

[Landers]

Never ever gotten physical with a cager. I've knocked on a window on the highway to yell at some bitch for tossing a mcdonalds cup full of coke and ice into my lane at 70mph..


Honestly man... what you did wasn't too smart, you're lucky the guy didn't get out to kick your ass, or better yet, called the cops and had them pick you up..

Everyday, my hate for the human race grows.

[CBRRdee]

To all the fellow bikers out there that are against what I did. I admit I may have went a bit over board but if someone throws some shit at me whether I'm on a bike or in my car I am going to confront them. What if that bottle would have gotten stuck in my tires? I guess I am suppose to just pick up my bike and wave to them and say have a good day.

Let's see how some of you would react when someone throws some type object at you. We'll see how cool calm and collective you all act...

But I'll tell you this, I bet he'll think twice before he throws some shit at any other bikes...

It's good to know who has your back or not if some trouble starts....

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

You just dont throw things at Grown man, I would of handled it diffrently, But I would of certinly handled it.

You guys sound like a bunch of Old ladies at a Quilting Bee,

toughen up NESR

...its getting harder...yet, I still refrain from entering this fracus...

would you also lob the water bottle in the first place?

I'm not saying I wasn't pissed when that chick tossed the soda out the window, but I yelled, screamed, flipped her off, and then parked my ass under an overpass to have a cigarette and chill out. Can't ride angry... just ain't healthy.

Sometimes once you can just say something, other times it needs yelling, sometimes you gotta break a cagers mirror as they pull into your lane, but you have to admit you went overboard and probably should have controlled yourself better.

[OreoGaborio]

abso-fuckin-lutely not. Not saying what the guy did was right, but two wrongs don't make a right. Defending yourself is one thing, handling it the way Dee did is another.

Dee... not sure if you remember me, but I rode & chatted w/ you a couple years ago during a big group ride to VT & remember you as a pretty nice guy. You can be damn sure I'd back you up if i was riding with you at the time, but I wouldn't join you beating the shit outta the car, I'd fuckin stop you.

Now here's what I really meant by what I said earlier... If I was like almost everyone else sitting in traffic that witnessed the incident & all i saw was some dude I didn't know pounding on a girl's car, ya, I'm pretty sure I'd call the cops. I guarantee you that at least 90% of the people that witnessed the whole ordeal didn't see him instigate by throwing that bottle at you. You shouldn't be proud of what you did, you should consider yourself lucky the cops come pounding on your door & didn't wake you up this morning with a hot cup of multiple assault charges.
