Does this only happen to me?

[Pittenger5]

So Ill be cruising down a street, usually something like Main St, with the flow of traffic, about 30-40, car a bit in front of me, car a bit behind me, and some dipshit will either be walking, or in a parked car and start waving at me to slow down? Do they just ignore all the cars and see the bright green bike crusing down the street? (Probably) This one just drives me nuts, itd be one thing if I WAS speeding through town, but Im cruising usually in first or second gear, the revs a bit up. Anytime someone does this I wanna pull out and either slap the shit out of them for annoying me, or to explain the fact that I'm in a high first gear which makes it sound like Im going fast, but that if Im actually speeding Ill be in the trunk of the car in front of me in 4 seconds so either way Ill slow down.

And yes, this just happened on my way home from work.

some dude did that to me after I pulled away from a stop sign a little quick but only accelerated up to about 30mph.

When he did it I jammed on the brakes, stopped on a dime, looked at him, shrugged my shoulders, did a burnout on his puppy & wheelied off into the sunset. I highly recommend it. It really showed him who's boss.

Kittens are so much better for this application!

Pics/vid or it didn't happen

Yeah, but the puppy was all I had to work with. I asked him if he had a kitten & he said "What do I look like, a fag?"

He didn't like the answer I gave him.

Cage jockeys who dont know the first thing about bikes out for a stroll with nothing better to do. Ignore 'em. Pete's idea is a good one too. LMAO!

The women seem to like it though......

I get dirty looks every day on the RD400. Even if I am just idling along in traffic in first gear, the scream from the 2 stroke makes it sound like I'm doing 100mph. I've actually had neighbors yell at me for leaving the bike idling and warming up in the morning.

Same reason why I dont ride the go-ped around the neighborhood... i'm sure the neighbors will think i'm doin 50mph when the thing tops out at less than 25

[Pittenger5]

Normally Id rip a wheelie when someone does that, but I cant wheelie. I need to buy a gixxaaahhhh! Then I would.

Dude... It is called an UP SHIFT!!

[Pittenger5]

I usually keep it in 2nd in town, in fact I was in 2nd today when the beeeyotch almost got punched in the ovary.

[Doc]

So keep it in 3rd...

I know all about keeping the revs up so it SOUNDS nice. But Jeesh!

[Pittenger5]

Haha 6k in town isnt good enough for them!? Plus, she was in a fuckign minivan, shes probably gonna try to run me off the road next time I ride!

[Fitz]

I haven't had it happen on the bike, only in the cager (Mitsu Evo). I like to pull over and approach them with a smile on my face. "What do you mean you weren't waiving hello at me?"

Try riding a KLR. It will NEVER happen.

[Pittenger5]

Im gonna start riding my klx, itd still probably happen.

[bove]

[Jim]

happens to me everytime i ride. it gets annoying sometimes. i've had kids do cover their ears when i'm still 100 yards down the street.
