God Damn Old People

[RyanNicholson]

Ran to subway for lunch down on 2nd street in manchester....on my way back to the office i'm cruisin along and this old dude pulls out going in my direction, right as I'm going by, almost hits me, then when I avoid him and end up beside him he pushes me into the center turning lane, and almost into on coming traffic, making an SUV lock up its brakes and go into the breakdown lane to avoid me. (i never actually got into the opposite lane, but was headed that way while hard on the brakes)

this all happened like 15 minutes ago.

fucking old people. fucking idiot drivers. fucking yankees fans, someone should run them over.

I had a nice little chat with him at the next red light. didn't yell at him, but thanked him kindly for almost killing me, reminded him that there are a ton of bikes out this time of year, and said i'd appreciate it if he'd pay more fucking attention to what hes doing.

be careful out there people.

haha nah i gave him a good "what the fuck!?" shrug and he held his arm up in shock i think.

[ChrisNoF4i]

He was probably in a hurry to eat because his blood sugar was low.

What ever happened to "Respect your elders"?

[MattyC]

...starting to feel nervous with all this 'anti old people' discussion....

[TIMMYDUCK]

That move should have cost him a mirror , he obviuosly isn't using them.

[enzo_f1]

I've been on the mirror kick for years.

It's a wonder the old guy didn't yell at you that you were going to fast. I always get it's my fault coz I was going to fast when actually they didn't even see me because they didn't even look.

Old people should move to SoFla and stop trying to run us younger people in New England off the road

[Ericthejet]

Was it a cool suv at least? Shit happens all the time.

lol i suppose I was a bit too general. But its the old, horrible drivers that dont pay attention that really drive me insane.

i once saw an old lady in front of me pull up to a construction zone that was down to one lane, and drive right past the person holding the stop sign flagging, until the flagger slammed their trunk with their hand and the woman stopped...blocking traffic.

ducdave... you're not old... old is certain 70-100 year olds still driving when
they can't see or hear....

[DucDave]

DOnt encourage him! You shoulda seen him in virginia just blowing past me like I didnt even exist and just flying around me in corners and stuff. Its not like I was in that lane! Just go right around me like I dont exist!

[newgixxerchic]

but Dave's my friend... I hope and I was just giving my honest opinion.


So there.

[richw]

He blew past you cause he didn't see or hear you

[Jim]

Ryan, you may want to get an exhaust like what I have. Even deaf people think it's loud. if you dont believe me, take the test. find out how long you can ride next to me until you make me go over to the right of you.

[BCT748]

I had 3 or 4 old people pull out in front of me today. They were looking right at me when they did it, like they were saying "fuck you!!" to me or something. Only one of them was bad enough for me to jam on the brakes hard enough to slide a little but what the fuck are these people thinking?

[RyanNicholson]

haha ok, well i mean no offense what so ever to those of "some" age on here.....but c'mon, you know what i mean. like newgixxerdropper said, its the 70+ crazy people that i'm bitchin about. whatever it was, the guy definitely almost killed me today and i wasn't exactly happy about it


PS: i took milf 1.0 (heather) on her first motorcycle ride today, and she is officially addicted....she now understands my obsession haha

[Woodsy]

they should test all divers ovr 60 annually. and if you have to wear thoes huge black tinted saftey glasses or sit on a pillow to see over the wheel, hang it up. then again we could give them all gold wings or dynaglides and let them take each other out. wait they are allready doing that!

[Devil1]

60 no. 70 maybe.

[Tricky Mike]

They were looking right at me when they did it, like they were saying "fuck you!!" to me or something.

what the fuck are these people thinking?

I'm guessing they were thinking "fuck that guy"
