I hate CAGES!!!

Today was the third time in the last few weeks some dumb a$$ pulled out in front of me. It is a good thing I don't carry a weapon. Today, after the bitch gave ME the finger when I yelled at her to open her eyes, I pulled around, found her, said my peace, to which she said: "Maybe I should have hit you!" Yep, unarmed is a smart decision!

I know I should have just ridden away and not gone to find her, but I am so sick and tired of people (and I am sorry, but all three recently were women in SUVs) and the "I didn't see you" excuse. I'm big, fat, in a yellow t-shirt today, and my bike is orange. Ray Freaking Charles could see me!!!

Ok, rant over!!!

Unarmed is always a good decision.I've almost been hit quite a few times with the same stupid remarks.It's not easy dealing with ignorant morons.Where I live, three guys got killed within a few weeks apart.What's the answer? Ride defensively, get a loud airhorn and hope for the best.Believe me, if I could get away with it, I'd have no problem using a hand gun.I'm sure others will be chiming in soon.

Yep, sure is hard not to get mad, but with people like that, they're just not gonna care about anything you say anyway. Ride like noboby ever sees you and be careful! It is hard to just ride on but thats probably the best thing to do.

Allow a lot of extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you. You'll get cut off anyway, but you'll have plenty of space to react.

Armed and in control is the best decision.

Honestly, a stupid bitch like that is just going to get pissy and argue back. I have a friend with an appropriate patch on his jacket that says: "It's a beautiful day, now just watch some bitch **** it up"

Unfortunately, you ran into that bitch. Glad you weren't hit.
