First Butt pucker moment

Austin1302 · 04-02-2008, 09:27 PM

Well, today I had my first oh shit, butt hole puckered to 0 today. I had actually just picked up my gs from getting the fork seals done, along with new chain and most importantly at that moment new brakes.
I was cruising down a street that had stores on the right hand side, I was going about 35, and I see a guy in a blue some sort of car. We make eye contact, then he proceeds to pull out in front of me!! I have a car beside me so swerving was out of the question. I down shifted and used a nice bit of both brakes, while the guy in the car decides to stop and freeze up instead of continuing his turn left. I stopped most likely 2-3 feet away from his driver door. He just waves at me and then makes his left turn...

I just shook my head and rode on.

While unpuckering and glad to still be alive, I did find some satisfaction in the fact that I did exactley what I needed to do. So I guess it could be a good scary vote of confidence. I know this is a pointless story, but just a reminder to everybody to always wear your gear, you never know when something will happen. So

to keeping the rubber side down..

Did you get all of the seat out of your butthole?

well props to you last time that happened to me I pointed to my eyes while in his window and told him to use his f#$%$ing eyes. He then proceeded to flip me off so I had to choke back the urge to follow him and stick that middle finger where it belongs. sometimes cagers aint worth pissing on.

Not advocating my own behavior here....but I've yanked guys out of their windows for that shit.

please, really, don't do that it's not good.

At least you re still here to talk about it.

Funnily enough, the wave is what would have really gotten me. He almost caused a great deal of injury...and then he waves like nothing happened?

I always applaud. Really pisses them off.

Yeah the seat is almost out, give it till tomorrow and Ill be good. The wave is what fuckin got me though. I think I was just shocked at the level of douche baggery. I think thats the reason I just shook my head was because I didnt believe it. Plus I was still happy to be here..

Sock to the face followed by a wheelie makes the smile come back to your face

i find it good to always ride with a lump of coal between the cheeks, that way the but pucker moment is worth it.

Diamond in the rough, huh?

That little wave was probably his way of saying "sorry." Shaking your head at them is the right thing to do - he was wrong and he knew it.

You got stopped OK, but think about what else you could have done too. You could have jumped on the brakes and swung in behind the car next to you.

Or you may have been able to get over to the left side of the lane as far as you could (right up next to that car on your left) and shoot the gap. I don't advise you actually go out and try that until you get a lot more experienced, but keep that up your sleeve in case you get in a real pinch.

Thinking about this kind of stuff will make you a much stronger rider.

Damn close call glad you are okay. That when you lift your helmet up and spit either in his face or on his window while he is stopped in front of you

Congrats on your excellent reaction and awareness. We all have had things like that happen. The worst for me was nearly getting pegged by a woman charging a yellow well after it changed to red. She ended up in the lane next to me at the next stop light, so I got off the bike and tapped on her window, since she wasn't going to acknowledge anything or look over. Boy did she get upset. I haven't seen a guilty person get so angry at the person she almost killed, ever. Sheesh. At least you got a wave acknowledging your right to continue to exist. There really are people out ther who think we should be eradicated.

I'm not a big fan of guns, but if I had one I would have maybe poped a few caps in his ass for being so freaking stupid! I'm telling you there needs to be an IQ test for getting a drivers lisence. It's amazing! If we were back in Africa these SOB's would be lion food!
I'm telling you, love them or hate them violent biker gangs like the Hells Angels really are needed sometimes. If nothing but to force these morons to maybe pay attention a little more when they are in their cars!

I might try flipping up their windshield wiper as i push their mirror flat if they pull up beside me at a light just after they almost caused a wreck. They will look really stupid, at least for a little bit. That could get me in trouble real quick though. I hate the adrenalin shakes when stuff like that happens though. Makes me wanna kill somebody, but I'd rather find a way to laugh about it. If I can remember to go "naa naa na naaaa!" like they tried and missed, so I win, then maybe I can train my brain not to get so mad.
