Road Rage

A shorty but a goody. That's what you'll find with today's post. I think road rage is a little deceiving because it was mostly me being annoyed at the lack of repect shown to riders.
As the story goes I was on my way home from work when I came upon a man on a dyna followed by what can only be described as a punk in a corolla. As we all entered the highway, mind you I'm in my dodge ram, I could tell the biker was riding conservatively, much like I would. However this corolla charged right up on his tire. We're talking 2 feet behind him. Needless to say I didn't care for seeing this. When we got onto the hway I decided to pull up next to the car and give him the slow down sign, pointing down and miming slow down. This didn't work. In fact he rolled down his window and yelled what...

I said slow down you're following too close. He smiled and nodded and said haahaahaa I know. It was officially on. I made me way out in front of the car and he had slowed top talk to me. There was plenty of room between me and the bike so I hit the brakes and slowed the car down. The bike stayed in front of me and the car passed us both.

As I passed the bike I threw two fingers down to him and he dropped two down to me with a little nod. Nuff said.

My friend told me that riding would change how I drive. So true. That could have been me as a newbie. Quite the journey.
