    Ever rub up against a car while riding in a corner? Well now I can say I have.

    Stupid cab on soldiers field road nearly took me out tonight. I was in the middle lane of 3, going around a corner. Idiot minivan in left lane in front of me tried to lane change into the car directly in front of me. So I checked up and tapped the brakes. Of course the impatient cab driver behind has no time for this nonsense. He passes me on the left but then comes right into my lane before he gets by me. I swerved just in time, I don't know what that stupid ishmu was thinking.

    Well I proceed to follow him to the next light and punched off his side view mirror. He wasn't using it as it was. Now my pinky hurts tho; I thought I could get it on one shot but it took 3. Guess I need to goto the gym more! Or take anger managment.

    I hope his fuckin mirror was on the ground when he drove a way.

    I had a rub with a car on thursday comin home from MM. I gets into Townsend and up ahead one of the local Po-Po is approaching the exit of the Dollar Sotre plaza. I watched him as he approached the exit of the Plaza. He stopped so I thought everything was cool. I get about 20 feet from him and the dimwit pulls out in frount of me. I'm like WTF. I'm kinda pissed so I lean on the horn. I mean I leaned on the horn I didn't take my finger off of it. He pulls off to the right a bit to let me pull up beside him. He rolls down his window and said in a very sincere voice, " I didn't see you. I'm really sorry." He said he was sorry several times.

    How the fuck can you not see me. My bike is red. My helmet is red. I in the left third of the lane. And, my high beams are on.

    I'm sorry I didn't see you. RIGHT.

    Has any one heard this excuse before?

    that sux dude, i heard that excuse just last weekend.
    when i went to test drive aprilia's, on one of the test rides, i was second in a line of 6. as we were getting on and off-ramp just off 93, i looked back in my mirror and right behind me, was a guy on a caponord, witha maxima that suddenly swerved right at him. i thought she was gonna put him in the gurdrail when i saw the dust and shit come up when he ran off the road, but he got on the binders enough to get behind her. right after this was a stop light..... and all six riders of the pack pulled up along side her to give the salute and share a piece of mind, she rolled her window down... a big girl, with her cheesburger still hanging out of her mouth, (which she was chwing on and says was the reason for almost missing her exit..... ) claiming to stilll be completely unaware of the entire incident.... riiiiiiiggght.
    fucking fatty almost made me a witness to something bad.

    I love those things. Always use them to calibrate my speedometer at speed.

    that's great

    Dude, I'm so fuggin happy you slammed that cabby's mirror off. We do that on the highway sometimes. When idiots cut into our lane for some stupid moronic reason, we just proceed by them, and on the way, we smack the shit outta the idiot in question's mirror.
