>:( I'm so mad right now I can barely see straight, so I'll try to be as understandable as possible. Sorry for being of topic as well.
I just took lunch break with a friend of mine here at work that I ride with. The two of us were at a stoplight in the left hand turning lane. The turn left arrow turned green and we proceeded into the intersection. From behind and to the right of us this black dude in an Escalade on his cell phone (no hands free) speeds up and turns left in front of us. We never saw him coming.
He turned left from the straight only lane. So, I layed on the horn because I had to brake really hard so I didn't get run over by his tank of a vehicle.
So he moves over into the right lane and we pass him. I look over at him to "surprise" see he's on a cell phone. He then speeds up next to us and hits the brakes so we're going the same speed. Mother F'er pulls over into my lane trying to hit us.
I snapped and lost my F'ing mind. I punched his mirror as hard as I could. It folded forward, back, forward and then back again. I hope that I broke it. So then I dropped the hammer and got out of there.
My friend dropped back and watched as this guy pulled into the center turning lane to chase me down the road. He gets caught in traffic that's trying to turn left. He waits until the light turns green and the other traffic clears, and waits for my friend. As my friend drives by he pulls out into his lane and tries to hit him. >:(
What I did was probably wrong, but if you're going to assault me with a deadly weapon, you better expect me to do something about it. Ok, I'm giong to try and calm down now.
What would you have done?
Did you get his license plate #?
Well, I can understand why you were upset. It happens to all of us. BUT..... You are messing with a vehicle that has a curb weight, 5,903 lbs. I know its not fair and it's darn stupid what the guy did, but what you did could have gotten you killed.
When on a motorcycle, or even in my car, I will not blow my horn or make defensive or agressive moves. You don't know when your going to run across a person with a gun, or in your case a much larger vehicle, that could seriously hurt you or kill you.
What would I have done..... Well, probably chalked it up as another a-hole on the road. However, since he did try and hit you I would have found the nearest public place and called the police.
Dawn :-/
Unfortunately I didn't get his plate number and I realize that what I did was wrong, but not nearly as wrong as 2 separate counts of vehicular assault, or assault with a deadly weapon. Which ever you like best.
Next time, I will just try to leave the situation. This happens so many times on the street I just couldn't take it any more.
Calling the Police is useless. Unless he actually hit you they won't even talk to him. Even if he did hit you all he has to say is he didn't see you or that you cut him off. The law is just starting to recognize it's short comings for situations like this and is *slowly* changing.
I think I would have done the same thing. I use to know a guy who could kick a side mirror off a car while in motion, I never sae hi do it though ::)
the old addage.. if you and a someone else are running from a Lion in the forest..you dont have to run fast.. just faster that the other person! ;D
I would first kill all the black dudes that have cell phones who want Escalades, that way you would eliminate all future problems with them . I would then kill all the black dudes with cells phones that own Escalades. I would then give all the Escalades that used to be owned by the dead black dudes, to all the White dudes who want Escalades that also own cell phones.
That would solve all of your problems.

Shot him...
You can't argue with a loony, so I probably would have let him go.
If you get the plate, you can ask the police to talk to him, and they probably will do it. They can go find them at home, and pay them a social call. They would probably not be cited for anything, but it still goes on their police record like a warning would.
I did that once when a car full of teenagers intentionally cut me off in my car and then laughed about it. I was really angry, because they would have rammed me if I had not been on top of things.

:o Wow I hope you're not incinuating that I am a racist. I reported what happened to me, that is all. When I said "SUPRISE" he was on a cell phone, I was referring to his idiotic behavior behind the wheel, caused by him talking on the phone. NOT his skin color! ???
I'm not sure what you meant by your post, but I didn't appreciate it. I'm asking for what others would do when forced into my position. Period.
I would have done the same thing.... even thought I know it could have worse consequences... like now we gotta look over our shoulder every time we're in that vacinity to make sure some fool isn't about to try to create a motorcycle hood ornament.
Pardon the spelling.

The guy was driving like a dickhead. The color of his skin was irrelevant but you did mention it. Hence, the offense.
Would I have punched his mirror until it broke?
Yup.
Would I have left a few imprints of my size 13 up and down the side of his shiny Escalade?
Yup.
I also don't run a license plate on the street. So your situation might be different.
QuoteThe guy was driving like a dickhead. The color of his skin was irrelevant but you did mention it. Hence, the offense.
Point noted. But, a description of the people and events shouldn't offend anyone. Man, some people are hypersensitive. Again, I see where you're coming from.

he's taking the fact that you used black as a description of the butthole driver. in todays' maniacal PC society, even calling someone black makes you a racist. ::) even if they are black. pay no mind to him. he's just not using his brain.
QuoteDid you get his license plate #?
Doesn't matter. Right after the highway patrol issued they would crack down on road rage here (couple of years ago), same thing happened to me. Bitch purposely went into the median then looked right at me and swerved into my lane. I assure you I did nothing to provoke her.
I called the cops.....their response...."she probably didn't see you"....they would do nothing for me.
Worthless cops suck.
About a year ago...heading across the Cape Coral bridge to work on my bike in rush hour traffic. I was riding close to the center line and changing lanes whenever possible. Mainly because I was on an air-cooled Duc and didn't feel like overheating. I was NOT white lining, just hanging towards the center of my lane and filling gaps. Keep in mind the traffic was moving about 15-20 mph max. I see this woman up ahead in an Exploder watching me in her mirror. You could tell she was in a bad mood just by her face in the mirror...lol. When I get beside her, she rides over the center line and almost bumps me. At this point I wasn't even trying to change lanes, just riding along. What did I do? Waited until I could squeeze in front of her and then when we came to a stop, I "stalled" it. ;D Took me a good minute to get it "started" again, but it fired right up when she finally got the chance to change lanes and go around me. Unfortunately for her, that lane stopped and the one I was still in didn't. Ahh...life's simple pleasures. ;)
Had a guy make eye contact with me in the rearview mirror. I saw his eyes harden, then he locked up the brakes. My patrner swerved to the side as I did a stoppie. The driver then ran my pal up a curb. When he stopped at a light, I kicked off his side mirror. Then we split lanes to the front, turned right and took off.
Another time a guy did a brake check on me in the rain with no one else around. Twice! I pulled alongside at a light. He flipped me off. I got off my bike. He opened the door, but when he stepped out I started slamming the door on his legs. After five or six of those he crawled under the van to escape. I was so crazed that I thought about running over him with his own van, but instead I took his keys and split.
I'm much older now. Now I just throttle on and slip away through traffic with a disbelieving shake of the head. Street riding sucks.
And it's those black guys in swoopy black sports cars that really piss me off! ;D Smile Tez! You know I luv ya, man!
K3
I don't care who you are, when that stuff happens you go a little mental. The degree of mental lessens with age but still. As a youngster I kicked in a door panel for a similar offence, ahh 70's memories, clouded as they are. But I love the taking of the keys. That's funny.

So a few years ago, a buddy of mine (won't say who, some of you may know who he is.. ;) ) is riding along with a group of guys. Some guy comes up and totally cuts off their group. One guy in the group is forced to head to the curb - and crashes. The driver sees what he did, and takes off. My buddy takes off after the guy, gets him to stop. Buddy gets off the bike, walks over to the driver's door. The guy rolls his window up, and starts throwing gang signs and screaming expletives at my buddy. Buddy convinces guy to roll his window down ("C'mon m'fer, roll your window down, I dare you...") and proceeds to throw a HARD right hook through the opening. My buddy isn't exactly a "small" guy. Right hook connects with the guy's nose... and his nose promptly EXPLODES. Blood everywhere, all over the windshield, the passenger windows, everywhere.
THAT guy got what he deserved.
D.O.C........would you please return my brain that you stole from me, I need it back to think straight.
1fastmofo, I did not say that you were racist. I took a desciption that YOU used and gave you my thoughts on it.....jokingly. Joking. Joking. Joking.
K3, would you please tell D.O.C. to stop stealing my thoughts all the time? Everybody knows who I am. I don't have to hide my no brain wimpy azz behind those dumb azz letters. Do you race, or do you just take up space? Nucklehead.

Gotta side with Tez here. You gotta know him. I promptly took it as a joke. He is F$#%ing cool. I won't comment on whether he is fast. It is all relative. ;D
It's always handy to keep a $2 valve core stem remover with you where ever you go. Eventually people stop driving and leave their vehicle all alone somewhere. This is a good time to offer some assistance (unselfishly without recognition of who you are) to those drivers who have been so unfortunate as to have a bad handling condition arise while driving out on the road. Clearly one of the most overlooked maintanence items on your vehicle is the valve cores which are responsible for keeping your tires properly inflated at all times for adaquate handling. This is a good time to carefully remove all of the valve cores for proper inspection. You will take notice that in 100% of all cases this was the culprit for the apparent loss of control. In order to make sure the vehicles owner is properly notified of this dangerous situation you should then gently place all of the valve cores and caps on the hood of the vehicle in plain site of the driver when they return so they can properly maintain them for safety. ;) ;D

Or a carpet knife will work very well if the entire valve stem needs replacing.

;D Thanks for sharing all the stories! They all made me feel better. I knew I wasn't alone.
Tez, sorry for not catching your humor. I'm still kinda new around here. It's all good! :P Now that I go back and read it, it is funny.
Man, this kinda stuff really makes me not want to ride on the street any more. But, I love riding too much. ;)
Here's a good story from a guy I knew a while back on our email list...

sorry, i couldn't find any smilies in there to hint at your "jokingly" remark.
i'd say it was more passive aggressive than "jokingly". but i digress, it was a real funny joking remark. ;)

LOL, Doug... Tez is a (relative) youngster!
I'll be 100 years old in about two days, and I will be at the Wegman ;)
Sometimes people take words to seriously; sometimes I do to, because I'm human, but certainly not in this situation. I joke with the guys and the girls on this board and at the track all the time, but I am never ever trying to offend anyone. Most of the guys at the track have been very nice to me, and I have so many friends from so many nationalitys that I can't even begin to tell you.
I had no idea, that one day my love for motorcycles and speed would land me in roadracing one day. Most roadracers aren't my skin color, but so what? With our leathers and helmets on the only color I see is the racing ones, otherwise there is no color.
Now, time to get ready for the next race ;D
Okay K3, what do you want? Lol....
And where is my interview Mr.?
Race is what we do when the green flag drops.
Color is what we paint our bikes.
Creed is a band.
My friends are all racers. I just can't relate to "Normal" people anymore.
Oh yeah, I'm bringing both versions of the Escalade to the next Blkhawk date, so all of you guys that want one, leave your other cars at home ;D
You gone be sittin own 23's and listening to 50 cent on the way home.

street riding does suck...most times for rocket straddling sickos like all yous guys. i dented a guys fender once... new mustang. then busted a mirror on some punk who decided to spin his tires in front of me while on loose gravel. that started a whole other mess of a story including a state patrol helicopter...oh the memories :'(

Turning left from a straight lane was the guys first mistake...
His second mistake was not paying attention to the drivers/riders around him...
His third mistake was pissing you off...
He's lucky u didn't do more damage to his vehicle. that's when u get the license plate and call your police friend that will run his plate and give you his home address.
;D ;D
Benji, you set the pace baby and I'll just follow ;)
I gotta get some sleep first though...lol.

I DESPISE big, huge, ugly SUV's. I think they are excessive and unnecessary let alone the fact that they take up too damn much space. I get cut off on the freeway all the time by a**holes in POS Ford Excursions. I think the principle of the action you took was commendable but the execution was negilgent. The police do not often help in situations such as this but if you had utilized their authority you would have at least wasted much of this jerky's time which we all know is a HUGE inconveniece. Take comfort in the fact that we all feel your pain and we share your frustration.
That's simple. You wait and get behind him then follow him whereever he goes. When he stops and gets out. KICK HIS ASS. If it looks like he may KICK YOUR ASS. Then don't do anything. Wait for him to go inside his house or wherever. When the coast is clear FUCCK HIS SHIZNIT UP. Turn that 55000.00 Escalade into a 500.00 escalade. ;D

WOW! :o There's some serious ISSUES pent up in that person! Seems like we are kind of back to square 1 with what started this thread in the 1st place with this statement!
While it is true that the average 2 parent/2 kid family most likely does not need an Excursion for trips to the Mall, you may be making much too wide of a generality here based on your own ignorance! (Ignorance = not knowing, Stupidity = knowing and doing otherwise!)
I am a single male who drives a very large Crew Cab Pick-up as my primary vehicle. I am almost always driving alone, and I get some odd looks very often by people probably very similar to yourself (they are usually driving a small car - which is usually foreign - or especially guys driving mini-vans). I imagine they are thinking that it is a waste for me to be driving this vehicle while being the lone occupant, and that I should get a small economy car instead.
What these people are apparently ignorent of is the fact that this vehicle is a 3/4 ton Heavy Duty vehicle with a Turbo Charged Diesel engine made specifically for doing hard work - such as towing heavy loads at Interstate speeds. Though it may look similar to the average Pick-up out there on the road (to the untrained eye), it is actually quite different. Did you know that the longer the wheel base is on a vehicle the more control you have while towing? Did you ever pay attention to if those vehicles were equipped with a towing reciever hitch on the back? Did you know that you can get V-8's, a V-10, or a Turbo Diesel in an Excursion? I would imagine that the ones that are pissing you off are the ones that have the smaller engines and aren't being used for more than a grocery getter!
Do you have multiple vehicles? One for this purpose and one for that? Or are you doing as many people do and use 1 vehicle for multiple purposes? (maybe that is why they are driving that vehicle to the Mall after all) I find it hard to belive that in this day and age that the only vehicle cutting you off on the highway is a large one. I am cut-off almost daily by people in small cars who think they have the right to drive how ever they want in whatever lane they want (how sad! :'(). Maybe your one of those people and the only vehicles you fear getting hit by are the large ones? Maybe not?
You guys are cracking me up!
Tez, you crack me up. I can't wait to see you at BHF, I miss hanging out with you guys. We need to have another night out like at Gateway last year. I already broke Super Dave in with 50cent on the way to Brainerd so we're straight. I might even have played a little Tupac for him as well. He hasn't been christened with Outkast yet. Not bad for a cop, huh?
As for the original post: I prefer to pull up alongside those people in my squad, shoot out their tires then yank them out of their car and violate all of their rights with my night stick, take em to jail and let Bubba have his way and then plant dope and guns in the car so I can seize it to drive it around at work for a DARE vehicle. You know us cops...we're all crooked! ;D
Anyway...this one time at band camp....I hit Super Dave in the head with a smooth! And you thought I was going somewhere else with that.
Question: Who can tell me what a "smooth" is?
And Super Dave, PJ and Hitchthingy can't answer.
Yes player...the 22" Daytons are already ordered for the dually and I'm installing the curb feelers tommorrow.
Lol......Kevin, where in the hail have you been? We miss ya man. I know you've been rippin the AMA boys a new boody, but I thought we would have seen you by now. Can't wait to hang out witcha dog ;)......we gotta get S D on some Outkast really soon ;D.
