Maybe chili is his weapon of choice when someone cuts him off.

Wonder what he uses for tailgaters, maybe chicken noodle soup?

So you open a thread with violence towards a biker and contemplating more violence towards others, and you get your panties in a bunch when it's redirected back at you? You're a complete moron. I'd tell you to get a clue, but it's painfully obvious to all that you're simply too stupid to ever figure it out.

honestly i've never had a problem with tailgaters, i don't sit in the fast lane even if i'm going fast, i use it to pass only (here in texas we have "left lane for passing only" and "don't slow texas down" signs) and when someone is sitting in the fast lane going slow, i give them 5 seconds to move over, if not i'll go around them.

however, last night going home about 11, there was this stupid rav 4 who entered the highway, i saw him move over 4 lanes to the lane just beside me (the center lane) and when there was about a foot diagonally between me and his back bumper he swerved into my lane. i braked, but kept close, went around him in the fast lane got in front of him doing the same thing he did to me,(making sure there was more room though) he backed off and slowed to 60 in the fast lane. as i kept going my usual speed (70 on the hwy) 4 ricers sped around him cutting him off and making him swerve to slow down. i don't know if he meant to do what he did, or if he was drunk or high or what, but i can't stand these guys who think they own the road.

btw as a sign of contrition, over the weekend my b**ching about what happened revealed to me that more than just my cousin are motorcyclists and they don't like people criticizing bikers, it was a great family conversation about how cars are just as bad as motorcyclists. it went back and forth about cars being aware of people with bikes because they have less protection, BUT! motorcyclists who act a fool in traffic (as said by my very urban very vocal aunt whos 5 foot nothing) endanger their own lives. we all finally agreed that bad drivers come in all shapes, sizes and vehicles, and agreed that we are generally safe and courteous drivers who have all "acted a fool in traffic" by accident at one time or another (everyone turned to my cousin)

my family are generally good drivers. and my uncles gonna bring over his harley and teach me to ride. who knows, i may be a biker before long.

i got that, thanks.

yeah, i had a friend read the thread and he explained why i was ganged up on. so i get it.

and after not contributing in any way positively to the thread, you feel you need to add to the fire?

I think the overall question is, why do you care if someone on a bike can get ahead of you in traffic? Its not slowing you up - that is the other cars on the road. Your anger is similar to throwing things at people walking on the sidewalk because they are passing you. You'd be happier in life if you didn't let such things get to you.

When I figured out it was him I apologized and then said I probably still would have done the same thing cause he cut me off.

I was in traffic today on the 410 and there was an accident. took 20 minutes to get through it and in that time 2 motorcycles passed us on the shoulder. Me and my friend talked about how we could get away with running tbhem off the road without getting caught .

So I hate motorcyclists...
your cousin should have got off his bike at your aunts house and pounded you into the ground......

and the last person you hurt should curb stomp you

we resolved it like civil people. this may seem like back peddaling but i apologized to my cousin. we don't fight like rednecks. although i would get him in a head lock when he tried to steal my candy as a child.

and that is what the debate came too at the end, however its not fair that bikers think they can do whatever they want, when ever they want, and then i have to be the one watching out for their sorry a** when they smash into my car and injure themselves. and everyone is feeling sorry for them, and disregarding the stupidity of their actions, because they're the ones in the hospital.

honestly that is what fueled my rage at the beginning,

not the "its not fair they're cutting!" line.
