RE: Cages and cigs.
Lot of years ago I was riding down a country road basking in that "Life is good" feeling when I noticed in my mirrors a pick-up truck coming up behind me fast. The truck started to pass me & I looked over to see a kid about 18 or so aiming a cig. to flip at me . Both of the idiots in the truck were laughing when the cretin on the passenger side flipped the cig. I caught up to them at the next stoplight.
Two years later I was cutting my lawn when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned & the guy handed me a summons. Both of the dummies were suing me claiming a mulitute of injuries from ******** damage to a torn eye socket, etc. Another two years go by and I get in front of the Judge who claimed that I went too far even though I had a witness that seen the punk flip the cig.
The kids (both were in their early twenties) ended up splitting $50,000. My home owners insurance paid everything except $5000.00 in legal fee's. It was worth every fuxxkin pennny!

RE: Cages and cigs.
Ppl dont pay attention to cars either...it's not just limited to not noticing bikes
Couple yrs back, I was driving an unmarked Cop car. Pulled up next to a college age girl at a red light. She was in the middle of a big mac, when she decided she was full, and tossed 1/2 a burger out the window....and on to the hood of my car.
She was majorly PO'd over a $160+ ticket for littering. She took it to court, on the premise that food is "Biodegradeable", and therefore is not "litter". The Judge didn't agree.

RE: Cages and cigs.
Pet peeve of mine too and it's not just the cage smoker it's "the smoker" in general. I have a coffee can I keep in my back yard for smokers so I don't have to pick up thier TRASH. I see it at the beach all the time they just flick the butts all over the place WTF. There are some responsible smokers but the majority of the one's I have come across think it is completely acceptable to flick thier trash all over the place and look at me as if I am a ***** when I ask them to PICK UP THIER F'N TRASH!!!!!

I know it seems petty but it is one of my oet peeves that just really ticks me off. As if I want to pick up thier cigarette butt or better yet maybe they think I want to wear it.

I have been riding in traffic and picked up a wiff of tobacco smoke. That makes me start checking the vehicles in front of me for the one ready to flick their butt out the window.

The only thing that is not litter is water and chicken feathers.

RE: Cages and cigs.
I was a smoker for the better part of 25 years (3 smoke free now). When I was smoking and driving a cage I would ditch the butt down and back to the rear wheel of my ride. I have always let someone know if my space has been violated by a butt. It cost me $750 once a jacka$$ tosed a butt and hit me on the arm, I gave him a nuge with my cage. Too bad a cop just happened to be watching. Reckless operation of a motor vehicle tickets are no joke in Ohio, at least they were not 20 years ago.
