I usually use both hands to let them know they are #1 in my book. I dislike drivers of any kind of vehicle acting badly and driving worse, road rage gets oneself into jail, the hospital or worse. Truthfully I usually just twist the throttle a bit and escape its easier, safer and the police don't wanna take me to jail. Yes I ride a crotch rocket, no I don't exceed the posted limit normally, no I don't do whoolies stooopidies(stoppies) or swayin tween lanes, nor do I ride tween cars as in lane splitting cause cars have doors and cops have ticket books and steel bracelets. I behave myself when operating a motor vehicle, I will get gone fast if someone almost squishes me or slow down an let em have their collision with someone else.kg5ie wrote:"I had a motorcyclist chase me down and bang on my car window while screaming at me while I sat at a light. I had no idea what his problem was."
After riding for 46 years, I can tell you that the motorcyclist had a beef. I don't doubt that the driver didn't have a clue what he did. They normally don't. I have chased a few cages myself for being clueless...but long ago. Now I just wave...with one finger.

The last time I saw my brand new, root beer brown with orange pinstripes KZ900 was as I slid down AZ 260 and my brand new, root beer brown with orange pinstripes KZ900 became airborne after sliding of the edge of the Mogollon Rim.
No cell phone, no make up, no burrito, no kids yelling or crying, no radio to adjust, no inattention. It was Bambi, his mother, a few of his cousins and for all I know Thumper and Flower were in the mix, standing in the middle of the freaking highway just beyond the apex of a curve in the road.
I have a picture of my brand new, root beer brown with orange pinstripes KZ900 taken just an hour before we parted ways. It was taken by my FIL as my wife (did I mention that she was with me?) and I departed the Swiss Village Lodge in Payson AZ on a scenic tour of Zane Grey country.
The picture of my brand new, root beer brown with orange pinstripes KZ900 is pretty worn and faded now. I've carried it in my pocket every Deer Hunting Season since 1977 in 6 states, 3 countries, 2 continents.
My wife says I am obsessed, that my behavior as I dance in the light of my campfire, the warm blood running down my chin and onto my chest as I savor the rich taste of Bambi's liver, is borderline crazy. What does she know? Did she ever own a brand new, root beer brown with orange pinstripes KZ900? No!
ok you made me choke on this, that's too funny

true you don't know my situation, but since I haven't been to jail for it and the other guys have, hmm might need to take that into consideration before replying in the afore mentioned manner.
it boils down to the fact of where I live happens to be a bad area for wrecks, and being drunk makes one get mad about the wreck and the fact that one is now going to jail for DWI and a single MVA. so please just take it for what it is and reduce the judgmental rhetoric. thank you
no I have never posted any of these incidents here and never will nor do I post about LEO encounters, I do make comments about things I see specially the ones that give incorrect information and legal advice that is incorrect, I do post about when I see someone being an apologist for people who should not be still breathing or for bad behavior from civilian police or just John Q citizen. ok last edit on this to explain why I won't post the info, the stories, names and location have been omitted to protect the innocent, guilty and everyone else. the basic outcome is post-able because it contains no information that could be used to Identify anyone cept me

actually yes you can in fact produce your weapon as a deterrent to further hostility and go home smoke cigarettes and drink coffee, and the other guy can have 3 weeks in jail. I know I just went thru it a month ago for the 4th or 5th time in the last 4 years
