Cager bad behavior
After picking my bike up from the shop, I stopped to get gas for the hour + drive home, my ride to the shop, following me.
Once filled up, we pull on the side street next to the gas station because of the stoplight back onto the main hwy.
Pick up truck in front of me, me, my ride to the shop behind me. All waiting for the green light to turn left onto the main hwy.
I don't think because of all the leather & my helmet he could see I wasn't a dude, not sure if he cared or not.
But right before the light changed to green, this jerk turns on his windsheild washers, which shoot up over his truck, all over me, all over my bike, all over my ride's car behind me & takes off like he has been shot out of a cannon.
A split nano-second before he takes off I yell, "Hey Mister! What is your problem?!" WTF???!!!
Now you know a sporty has a heck of alot of git up and go from a dead stop, ... and for a second or two when I was hot, and covered in wiper fluid on the bike I had detailed before I took it into the HD dealer, I goosed it to get up next to this guy & ask him up close & personal what his problem was. All the time thinking ... this is why some bikers used to carry chains. ( I know... ugly thought)
I thought better of it & backed off ... but he had no intention of letting it happen those two seconds... which let me know, he knew exactly what he was doing when he turned on those washers. He broke the speed limit by at least 15 mph (right by a cop who DIDN'T stop him!!) to get away from me. btw.. kinda glad right at this point I had backed off of him... the cop might not have stopped the @ss in the truck... but a biker...yeah, that is a ticket waiting to happen.
What is the most ugly, intentional thing done to you by a cager?

I think you are assuming a lot when you say this was intentional.

RE: Cager bad behavior
Had a guy almost run over my foot today at a light. I was stopped, in the middle lane, he was pulling out of a gas station and made aright to the right lane. He crossed into my lane while turning and came inches from my foot. I looked straight into his open window and yelled, HEY WAKE THE F--- UP!!!
He looked down at my leg and said....UHHH Soooorrry.
I seriously think people who have never rode a bike are absolutely clueless as to the responsibility and dangersof driving. They are talking on cell phones or blasting music while putting on makeup or eating lunch. Watching the road and their surroundings seem to be last on the priority list.

RE: Cager bad behavior
I usually have a lot of mercedes and bmw drivers pull out in front of me. Go figure. I usually give it some gas, get around them, and stop the bike a little sideways to block their lane and let them know how I feel. I know I shouldn't do it and could get shot but heyI havea bad temper. Mercedes and BMW drivers get scared very easily after they act like tough guys.

RE: Cager bad behavior
I just started riding again in May of 2006 and I can't count on both hands and feet how many times cagers have f'd with me. I've had fire crackers throw at the wife and I on the 4th of July started to chase the punks down was going to do some serious harm to them but the Ol wouldn't let me. I'm usually a pretty passive guy but put my life in danger and I might take theirs. About the windshield washer, when I was a kid I would aim my sprayers to spray the car next to me, I thought it was funny to spray a passenger from another car until I got chased by a car load of big guys I don't do that no more.
