side swiped on the 163 south

Just for future reference, if someone tried to changed into my lane and I kicked her mirror, would I fall off?

If you kick properly(don't "push", minimize follow through), then no, you won't fall off. ;)

Dang, that must've been scary! Glad you made it out ok though!

Now that the weather is warming up, the morons are crawling out of their holes, and are driving worse than normal. The freeways have been a little nerve wracking for me lately, and the expressways as well. Lots of rapid lane changers, that don't signal or anything, just BAM! in your lane. Never ride next to anyone, or even close to next to someone. Distance is your friend!
 
Lol....

I've kicked someone's mirror off once.....he deserved it too....*******.

He was stationary and I "lanced" it off the kicking movement was very minimal. So muscle memory is not really something to worry about....it's all a matter of aim....


LOL! Kazza's main squeeze Prebstar punches off the mirrors! :rof::rof:

Haha, we should pair up. Be the Cager-crime fighting duo. Utility belt and leathers that look like superhero costumes. Mine would be black with bat ears, Prebstars would be pink with bunny ears.

Cliff you could be our "Professor Xavier" or Alfred. The seasoned guide injecting kernels of wisdom now and again.
 
First, I am glad you are relatively ok, and welcome.
The other day I had someone try to move over in my lane like this too. I gave her a good honk, but she decided to move over anyway. Thankfully I had enough room to swerve over to avoid her and give her a dirty look (seeing as how I was literally right next to her window during this). She has the audacity to pull up next to me at the next light and start yelling at me for honking at her! Some people just have no road manners...:spank:

I hope you gave her a good dose of :Flip: and another :Flip: for good measure.

That makes me angry.

I hope she trips and falls and impales her skull on a spike.
LMAO ok probably about the tenth time I have said this to something you posted. Finally somebody else that expresses there disgust of stupid people the same way I do. Do you get weird looks when you say stuff like that out loud.

If you kick properly(don't "push", minimize follow through), then no, you won't fall off. ;)

OK it has to do with leaning. First do everything you can to be seen to include proper hand signals if time permits:Flip:
After all reasonable attempts to be seen are made, lean the bike ever so slightly toward the offending cage. When you are a little less than kicking distance from a panel begin your kick. This is not meant to be the hardest kick you can deliver, it does not take much force to push in a door panel. At about mid kick lean the bike back away from the cage and role slightly on the throttle. This will throw your foot back toward your peg so be ready for it. Good luck.
PS Did this to a pick up truck that was going to mush me into a concrete barrier. Door panel caved right in. Guy swerved hard out of my lane. Scared the... well nothing the laundry couldn't clean up. Don't ever want to do that again, but I think it saved my hide that day.

lastly glad the bike is relatively OK
 
can we make it a trio cause i sooooo want revenge on some idiot cagers

Done. After what you went through I think you would take the point as the madman out for vengeance. However, we would initially be on your side but then turn against you when you go too far.

"The city will BURN!!!" will be the last words anyone hears you say as you wheelie away laughing maniacally into the night.

The rest of us then feel a deep sense of guilt for having unleashed you on the unsuspecting citizens of Gotham. We vow to make things right and reel you in. For the remainder of the series we are sworn enemies.

And in an unexpected twist, using the logic that the enemy of my enemy is my friend....Cliff, Prebstar, and I join forces with the cagers. We then have a crisis of conscience and the team breaks up.

Cliff lives out the rest of his days as an inconsolable and raging alcoholic, Prebstar never sees the light of day after fathering 17 children, and I go on to great fame as a world-class racer.

But in the final act, very ironically, you are never heard from again as a cager swerves into you on the highway sending you off a cliff....the cager races off and nobody ever finds out what happened to you....

And the voiceover the whole time? It was done by the cager who sent you off the cliff......it was the SAME person who swerved into you the first time. They are so wracked with guilt they felt compelled to tell the tale.....the tale of the FZ6 rider....trd555.
 
that sounds about right cause i probably would go too far and that story line was amazing if i might say so
