Default RE: Wake up call...

Truck story- I got cut off afew months ago by a car turning left, she pulled out in front of me and basically ran me off the road and into a front yard, don't think she was on a phone but she did have kids in the back seat. I was in my 1976 F-250, 6 inches lift, 40 inch mud tires, freshly painted bright yellow with a crome brushguard on the front. If she didn't see that, I don't expect her to see me on the bike. It's amazing how many timesI get cut off in that truck, I just didn't expect it to happen as often as it does.

I reserve the right to kick the door in on any cager that tries to run me over if it's intentional or not.

Last summer I had a guy in an SUV tailgating me on the freeway. He finally passed me so I gave him a one finger wave as he went by. I guess he was really having a bad day because the next thingI know he cut in front of me and hit his brakes. I decided right then not to flip anyone off again when I am in a disadvantaged position like on my bike. That was a fight I was not going to win at 70mph. Just need to watch out for everyone.
