So Today with Paul, we was travelling from MMC to my house in Haydock. We hit the roundabout near the police station in St.Helens (the one with the statue on) Anyway I select the correct lane, paul is behind following me, so we go round and I then indicate to come off, as I did my lifesaver theres a 4x4 cager just missing my rear wheel! I assume Paul took evassive action too or he would have been hit for sure!! Any way I get off the roundabout and after screaming at the cager I can see him pointing for me to pull over, so I do, bearing in mind Im not the biggest of chaps, but feck me, this guy was a man mountain, I was stood on the kerb, putting me over 6ft tall and he still towered over me! After a few choice words that were exchanged, he got a touch red in the face, obviously didnt like my smartarsed replies!! He next line to me was a cracker, "Take your helmet off so I can hit you!" As quick witted as I am I fired back " Why cant you hit me with it on?" With this he jumped back in his cage and went on his way! The more I see the look on his face when I replied, the more I chuckle!! Guess you needed to be there to see it!!
Lol. I can just picture it. Sometimes it's better to just to accept that most road users are clueless and let em swallow your exhaust fumes. I been nearly knocked off so many times by road rage drivers I never stop for anyone, except the old bill.
That's funny,had a cracker today my self,going round a roundabout in the correct I need to take the 3rd exit off,meanwhile some fecker in a 4X4 no less,saw me come round the roundabout and thought "now's my chance go" I slam on (causing the HGV behind me to also slam on) I beep and the cager belts off at warp speed lucky for me he was going to my college and was right behind him when we both went in,I gave him a few harsh words to which he said and I quote "You shouldn't be coming round the roundabout"........At this point I facepalmd,call him an idiotic male genital and walked off into college.
That's what I was thinking,what you want me to go over this 3ft high verge that has tree's and signs in it? very well then.
I poses in me the emobided spirt of Evel Knievel who now rides a 50CC mo-ped useing nothing but the verge I shall now jump this roundabout!
Think i know the roundabout your on about kev. Its a right bastard as with loads of exits no fucker seems to have a clue what lane to be in.
said before, the answer to this is to make people terrified of bikers. like they were in the 50s and 60s lol. we need to start randomly attacking people in cages, tipping them over, setting them on fire, smashing their windows and lights, stabbing tyres, throwing ink on windscreens as we pass them.... then every time they hear a bike they'll be like shit there's a biker, do one quick, let him past....
Gota chill on the road mate your gona get it all the time. I seen you get pissed off other day when the van wer turning but in our lane head on he shouldn't ov been but its to be expected. Btw there's good armour in bike gloves one crack could take sum1 to floor lol. No1 drives with any respect to other on the road.
seen some idiotic driving myself today. seems to be mostly people thinkig they have 'right of way' - which imo does not exist. and people thinking that if they put their indicator on at the last second, it entitles them to cut people up and turn right in front of them, randomly changing lanes to gain 1 car length, without giving a shit that everyones just had to slam on. like one before on runcorn bridge - im in my vivaro doing dead on 40, in the right lane, indicating to change lanes to go toward astmoor. cock behind me in a clio sport is obviously in a hurry, right on my bumper so i can't brake... then as the lane merge arrows appear on the right, pushing me into the left lane, the clio cock comes flying up the inside, undertaking me, forcing his car between a lwb vivaro and a bus! now seriously, who do you think is going to win that one? the annoying thing was, for me, i let him go, and the bus moved over and off he went, weaving between the lanes gaining about 60 yards but risked causing a major crash on a bridge, not to mention all the passengers on the bus. then he goes in the outside lane, floors it and at the last moment cuts left in front of everyone to turn left, same way as me.... and ends up at the lights right at the side of me. so he's gained absolutely nothing. tbh i had a good mind to be white van man and run him off the road. fucking prick.
I just get annoyed when they clearly see us and still do crap can can cause us to come off or even worse hit us!
Reminds me of a white van driver that tried taking me and curt-sc125 out! He offered me a fight round the corner so I accepted and he shot off in the opposite direction! Best way is to do what you did and just not back down, most people calm down then. If you end up fighting it would have ended up that way if you bottled it anyway and atleast you have the chance of getting out of it if you act like you aint bothered
next time you're in that situation, only if you feel threatened of course, butt the fucker!! i swear down, you butt someone when you're wearing a helmet and their nose just explodes!!!!!! then just casually walk away
Or how they think you are in there way when filtering etc, even if you are in front of them it hardly slows them down as you are shooting off about 100m in front before they are even past the traffic lights!
I do remember one lad getting a bit lairy and felt indestructible cos he had his lid on. Id took mine off, grabbed his chin bit on his lid and chucked him all over bwood services like a rag doll, accidentally bumping against my boot several times in the process. The same chap later stabbed a hole in my fuel tank, which meant i had to push my bike 1/2 mile home.... Returning with a spoke key to undo his wheels for him. Fkin brown helmets.
