I have had the same experiences in fact I kicked a drivers door as she was merging into my lane and almost into me. Of course she was on her cell phone and roled down her window and started yelling at me she was going to call the cops. I told her to do it because I could not call and ride at the same time. They showed up and I gave my side she gave hers and she went to jail fo driving with a suspended license. Tom 1 Cellphone drivers 0.

So.. one day i pull up to get gass and there is another harley rider getting gas at the same time. I could not resist, I had to ask. "Hi there, I see you got a horn much like something that would go on a semi... how cool is that?" He looks at me, blast the f'in thing and says, "Thats for the cell phone Bitc#hes... they damn sh#t their pants when I hit that thing."

Ace, keep your cool... its not worth breaking your hand. You can always look forward to getting home to that fine woman of yours.

It happens to me at least once a day... like you I get P O'd... flip'em off...

Then I get prepaired for the next idiot...

Because more likely than not they're just down the road waiting for you to come along...[]...[8D]

If you keep thinking about the last one... the next one could.... well you know...

Ride safe brother...

It's all part of the ride.

Sadly, that is true. We just buried our receptionist's father about 10 days ago. He was 44 years old, killed by a left-turning killer and leaves behind two children and disabled wife. I used to go ballistic, but have learned that anger clouds my mind and while I am fuming at the cell phone soccer Mom, the real killer might be waiting at the next intersection.

Keep your cool and ride safe. You can't fix stupid.

I've had this happenmany times over the years with minimal mishap sofar, and so I don't drive hot in town. My impression is that some drivers, often beeotches in SUVs, just don't care what happens to you...they come first and they're going to excercize the right-o-way of the jungle and you can just go to hell. This phenomena is exaggerated when you acknowledge their presence, i.e. if you look at them, slow down, etc. than they take it so to exercise their right-o-way of the jungle. And of course, they could never be the blame for any result. So, I try to practice ultimate defensive riding and escape,while not openly acknowledging the cagers presence. Anyway, something like that, because they really don't want their shiny SUV dented up....just a thought.

Back when I was still a youth minister, I had someone almost hit me while I was rolling my scooter one Saturday afternoon....I honked the horn and locked up the brakes and barely didn't get killed. So this guy that pulled out in front of me and almost kills me starts yelling and screaming and cursing and "I'm gonna kick your ***, how dare you honk at me....you're a *** on your scooter.....blah blah blah......" All this with his kids and wife in the car. I just ignored him and went on my way.....well, on Sunday morning I was being guest pastor at a church across townto show them things we did with our youth group to get attendance up and things like that.....lo and behold! Who is the first person that is introduced to me? Mr "How dare you honk, I'm gonna kick your ***"!! Just so happened that he's a deacon of that particularchurch....I just start laughing as he didn't know who in the world I was....so I shook his hand and asked him if he's kicked any ***'s asses on scooters lately.....he and his wifeboth turned bright red and everyone around was just kind of looking at them wondering what in the world I was talking about.....

So my written serson that sunday about empowering our youthgot tossed and I instead gave a nice talk about self control..... =-) I think I got my point acrosss....You never know who it is that on that bike! Might just be your preacher!!

Rev. George.....Chattanooga, Tn

p.s. I don't minister anymore, but that's another story not related to motorcycles. =-)
