Biker Ettiquite - Pulling up beside strangers?

[olebiker]

I love it when I see outlaw riders stopped at lights in front of me, I try to time it perfectly, as Im comming down behind them in between the cars, I slow until the lights are about to change, then absolutley gun it past them just as they are taking off, then I spend the next few minutes trying to get away from them as I have just scared the dodo out of them, and made them look bad to other road users.

I have never been caught up with yet, Ive done it to big groups of them as well. Probelm for them is HD's are not quick off the mark, and no where as easy to get through traffic as my bike. Im sure my day will come


Apart from outlaw riders, Ill stop and chat to anyone at lights, Ill lane share with them and have no probs with them sharing with me.

Don't do that over here. I know you are very quick but you can't outrun a bullet. Some of these guys have no sense of humor.

True, I did have one guy (coffin cheater) manage to get near me, Im not to sure what he had done to his bike, but I had truely underestimated his machines abilities, just when I thought I had done enough to get out of his reach, I caught a glimpse of him in my left mirror, he was right on my back wheel, now that scared the dodo out of me

BTW I learnt how to do this, from this haveing been done to me, you see I unfortunately live in an area that has two outlaw headquaters, so I see alot of them on the roads near home. That coupled with my risk taking behaviours, sees me with some entertainment occasionally on the ride home from work. When you sit in a office staring at a computer 10 hours a day you need a bit of excitement

You do this in the same lane? If so, it's a good thing you don't live here. Do that crap with me and I will catch up to you. The end results will not be in your favor.

Do that "crumb" with me and I will catch up to you. The end results will not be in your favor.

And that's why he calls himself "Meanie", folks.

A few minutes on the bike on a twisty will give me as much excitement as I require course I am ole.

I want to see the Meanie vs. Shane-o showdown!

Funny story: Earlier this year I had a guy on a cruiser with very loud pipes pull up next to me at a light while I was on my 250. He shouted over, "Hey! Is your bike running??" "Uh. Yeah."

One of the first days I rode my new bike, I pulled up behind three guys on LOUD Harleys, who didn't acknowledge me. Well, I was just getting used to listening to my engine while controlling the clutch, and I couldn't even hear my own engine. I almost stalled it just because of that.

I hadn't realized what I said may have been a reflection to his comment about stopping to chat. I should have deleted that part of his post. The part which annoys me is his actions of "gun it" past a rider at a light. Doing that only enrages many riders, obviously, me as one of them.

this post gave me a good chuckle.

of course i can't recommend that anyone do that, the visual i got was pretty funny.

and yeah, from what i've heard about the 1%ers here in the US...it wouldn't be a good idea.

like others have said...you might be surprised by a bullet. (or a bike with nitrous )

that said,


still a pretty funny story
