Stupid cagers!

I think we should lay this post to rest.

The fact that the actions of our fellow member were inappropriate have been acknolwedged by him at least 3 times now.

Lets move onto something else and hope that he has the sense to take a time out before loosing it again.

Everyone makes mistakes, you just need to learn from them and make sure you dont make the same mistake twice.

Ride safe, stay alive, so you can post again tommorow.

Agreed, I can see that this post is beginning to outlive it's usefulness and is beginning to go beyond the scope of the original intent.

I've learned my lesson from this whole deal and hopefully other people had that lesson reinforced, which was my original intent. 'Nuff said.

I had a bizarre incident. One night I was sitting at a stop light when an SUV pulls up next to me. The passenger jumps out grinning ear to ear, runs over to me, gives me little shoulder check, runs back and jumps in the car. I couldn't figure out wtf just happened! At first I was pissed, but after menacing them as much as a motorcycle can menace an SUV for two blocks, I calmed down, pulled a U-turn and went about my business.

Must've been involved in some bizarre game of tag? I guess you're still "it".

Nothing could have prepared me for living in Boston...


That's all I've got. :laugh:

Just across the river from Louisville, a road rage incident occurred where a motorcyclist was shot in the chest after approaching a vehicle. The woman and her son tried to say he attacked them. He luckily lived to say he just wanted her to stop tailgating him. Here is the story from the Louisville Courier-Journal. The bottom line is this: on a bike, you're the sparrow, the cager is the gorilla. In a fight, at most, you'll just annoy them, and if they get a hold of you, you're in for a world of hurt. Just get away.

The way I see it (and the way the law sees it), if they're coming after you (consciously, not accidentally), they are assaulting you.

The old lady who got the knife in the tire - she's lucky. Her less alert brethren kill bikers and motorists every day out of plain ignorance.

I would've put my foot through her window and then called the cops on her myself.

You better be able to PROVE an old lady was TRYING to come after you (she's a bezerker murderous insane bitch I tell you!) and you had no other avenue to get away or that law you speak of knowing so well will bust you. And after they bandaged your foot you would get time to cool those heels and contemplate just how miserable that old lady was gonna make you in court. Ignorance is one thing and intent is another. Lots of people call cops and then themselves get taken away. Then there are the husbands and sons that learn you just put a shiv in their wifes/mothers tire or kicked her window in. Anybody for a can of worms? Hey one more thing with all this tough talk. How come nobody has changed the old lady to a six foot nine inch monster dude wearing razor wire for a necklace or is it just old ladies that drive with murderous intent? :blink:

Because "a six foot nine inch monster dude wearing razor wire for a necklace" is not going to use his car to get you, he's going to jump out of the car, grab you around the neck with one hand and hold you up in the air, then beat the living snot out of you with the other hand


I can believe the evil old woman bit, I met a few of them while escorting my disabled Dad around to senior events during the four years I took care of him prior to his death.

Edit:
Just one example of the kind of woman I'm talking about.

There was one old woman (late seventies I think), that when ready to check out after shopping at a grocery store, would look for the biggest, baddest, looking dude there (me if I was there), and take her grocery cart and ram it into the guy's ankle to distract him so she could cut in line in front of him. Of course, no big bad looking dude is going to get away with saying or doing anything to a seventy year old woman when others are around, and she knew it.

One time she actually stole a bicycle that my Dad had just won playing Bingo at a grocery store, she saw that he wasn't watching it, and she didn't know I was around. I saw her and got my Dad's attention and pointed to her as she was rolling the bike away. He chased her down on his electric scooter (he couldn't walk) and grabbed the bike and took it away from her. She lost that one because she messed with someone even older than her and disabled to boot (my Dad was 82 at the time)

And she drove the same way, she crashed into a bunch of cars at different times and got away with it.

That was one evil old woman :woohoo:

You'll recall my recent experience with an 80 year old woman from my rampage and aftermath post...

I'm strongly of the opinion that once is an accident (bordering on incompetence or negligence, admittedly). If it happens again, particularly in a small period of time...intentional. Try to claim it's not if you like but that doesn't make it any better in my book (quite the contrary).


You screwed up...then you went out of your way to do it again. The old woman was *trying* to kill him.
