Road Rage ,,what to do?

[CobramanPhil]

Well forget about messing with his truck, his property or beating him down. How would you like to end up in jail and the cager still out there swerving at other motorcyclists . That would be an injustice to us all. Just report the incident...perhaps he already has a couple of complaints on him already. Better yet..hunt down a local leo (preferably a motorcycle officer) and let him know that this guy tried to run you off the road repeatively. Get a couple other motorcyclists with the same or similar complaint and you have this lunatic in jail...simple as that.

Leave him a note expressing how dangerous his behavior was and remind him of the implications of "swerving" at someone. Assault, etc...

Let him know how lucky he is that you chose to keep it civil.

Then let him know that you have put a couple thousand other bikers in the valley on notice about him, his location, and his truck and he should think twice about his reckless behavior.

I'd rather have someone looking over their shoulder in fear every time they see bikers, than looking over and thinking about revenge.

 

[markster]

could you describe the truck and driver?

 

[hotdog]

repeat the words "serenity now" or "gooze-frah-bah".

IT would suck is if you beat down this guy or mess up his property and FIND out it wasn't even him.

"Gooze-Frah-bah" "Gooze-Frah-bah!"

the trucker was probably pissed because you have both your testicles!

Good Idea. I think this may just do the trick...

Unless he is a total dumb-a$$ redneck.

Kick the shit outta someone for cutting you off? Kill him? Ruin his property? You people are complaining about the lousy state of the general public and then lining up to join them? WTF?

 

[maxboxa]

Thanks all for the reply,

I think at this point I will just drop him a friendly note
Letting him know that people like him are not hard to find and how lucky he is I am not A violent person by nature. or something along those lines.

Thanks for all the advise a opinions,, That is why I asked before taking any actions.

And I am 100% it is the same guy, as I looked him in the face and also remeber his license plate as it was a personal plate.

this is probably the best way to handle it. no damage done and i'll bet he'll be looking over his shoulder for a few weeks.

Wow...we have a lot of angry riders here. Why not just think about the positives. He cut you off, but DIDN'T hit you. Everything else that happened after that was by your own choice. Was it really necessary to pull up beside him and say, "What the fuck?" Could you have just dropped back and muttered to yourself..."What an asshole or whatever?" Or maybe just pull past him and avoid his reckless driving ass. Be thankful that he didn't hit you. Be grateful that you made it home in one piece that day. Consider yourself lucky. Let it go.

Valid points.

Three words...

Chicken Milk Bomb

Do a websearch if you don't know what that is.

Nonviolent, non property destroying, takes four to six
weeks to 'go off', and works like creeping death.
Where you place it is totally up to you since you know
what he drives and where he lives.

Instant Chunder.

I searched all I got was drink recipes?

sounds good though and I might be interested for any future uses.

Seems like a good nonviolent way to get back at people to me.

First, you're going to need some chicken and milk (the older the better) - and nonne of that nonfat shit. You want the thick, whole milk. Then, you're going to need a jar - ( an empty mayonnaise jar works just fine). Now, here's what You do: Cram the chicken into the jar, fill it up with milk and cap it off. Tighten it up good - you don't want any unexpected spills. Now it's time for the 'stash'. the warmer the place, the better. Personally, I suggest a heat vent, where it will stay nice and warm (plus, every time the heater turns on, t5he stench will get blown all over the place). Choosing the hiding spot is very important, because the Chicken Milk Bomb takes three to four weeks to 'blow up'. Eventually, the lid will pop off or the glass will break - either way, when that shit blows, out comes the most rancid of smells, that will make even the strongest of stomachs churn. What's more, the smell that is emitted doesn't just go away; it lingers around as a constant reminder. So don't just go tossing them in your friend's house as a practical joke. However, should you be evicted from your house, it's a great way to srew your landlord.

Well put. In my experience the vehicle most likely to want to have a go at you in any kind of road rage / conflict / dispute over road space situations are trucks.

Not the rusty, contractors' I-need-to-haul-stuff-for-work kind of truck, but the shiny, black I-drive-this-because-I-can-intimidate-other-roadusers kind of truck.

Know your enemy, understand his behaviour, his strengths, his weaknesses and vanquish him without engaging in battle. (quote from some old warrior bastard somewhere or other, Scorp would probably know who).

i.e. ride around the fucker and enjoy your day

 

[Bad Dad]

hehehhe. OOPS. I was searching under chocolate milk bomb.

 

[V4]

I'd make the bastid driver read the entire Kitchen Sink Forum.....

that'll teach him a lesson to mess with a BARFer ever again....

I can only guess Sun Tzu would have said something like that. I don't know why I should know that...

In general I use the superior manouverability and acceleration of the bike to avoid cagers. As I maintain 360 Degree Awareness I am seldom surprised.

In life and on the road I tend to avoid confrontation and am usually successful. When it is clear that I will not be successful in avoiding confrontation I will generally try harder. The only way to guarantee that you will not suffer defeat on the field of battle is to not have a battle.















It is however a widely held belief that brake fluid will strip the paint off a vehicle such as a dickheads SUV in short order...

Another story about macho guys in a truck. I would stay away from truck drivers.

Does anyone know what happen to that guy that got arrested for running over a Harley Davidson guys in a parking lot (San Jose) who fled and got arrested?

Burn his truck down!!!!! I almost got taken out buy a rice cager today on the Sunol grade he had to got onto the right sholder to miss me he was doing well over 100 I would have been hammered if he hit me, followed him for about 11 miles, he finally got off the freeway onto Vasco, there was a truck with a flat tire that he stopped for in the middle of the road, I parked my bike in front of his car and made him roll the window down and gave him my two cents worth after I booted in his fender, his retort to me" I was in my own lane
