Went for a very nice ride yesterday, could not ask for better conditions. Rode several hours thru some mountain twisties, the 'King doing what the 'King does best. These roads are in generally good condition, but they are a little on the narrow side. Weaving from one mountain ridge to another, I came upon a short straight in the road and noticed a car coming my way in his lane, when suddenly - some Dude on a bagger decides to pass this car on this very short straight and he pulls fully into my lane, now coming at me head on! I have 3 bright LED's beaming at him on bright - I flash him dim, then bright again - He's still coming! I get all the way over to the right line on the road - can't get any farther over without getting in the grass - and the three of us pass right there with this jerk in the middle. Dude is almost on the fender of the car when he lays down the wave. In my mirror I see the car's brake lights and grass flying up from his right side tires.
Anyone agree this would have been a good time for a get back whip? I would have enjoyed slapping him with a thorn bush limb.
Crazies ride amongst us, guys.
I wonder if it was the same guy in that video that we all probably saw with the jerk-off trying to pass a car on a curve in a wooded area and went off the road and crashed?
I would have given him the middle finger wave... Dumb a$$...
