Clucking funt

[Sossige]

Or a similar sounding colloquialism

That's what I had hurled at me from chavette when filtering through traffic today. I'm sure she was just jealous at being stuck in the queue of traffic in her stebox. It made me laugh for ages, she was obviously too dense to realise her window was down.

Also, no thanks whatsoever to the Old Codger who decided that the road was indeed *all* his and that he objected to me filtering through. I think that fact that you drive a Kia is punishment enough. Many thanks however, to Mr Waitrose Lorry Driver who held back to give me enough room to get past Mr Old Codger.

Oh yes, Dudd and I had a good ride this afternoon

Filtered to the front of the lights today in between two lanes. Did not cut in front just sat in the middle. Then the bloke next to me beeps his horn a few times (didn't look round as they were all foreign and didn't want any confrontation when there's 4 of them and one of me). Then he pulls forward so his back wheels are on the line way ahead of me. Lights go amber and I'm off and round the corner before he has pulled off. What was his problem? I didn't hold him up.

How on earth did you know they were all foreign?

Were they wearing their "I am foreign; please treat me as though I am dangerous" T shirts?

Thought someone would say something. Look, they were all black. Don't like putting it like that as some people get offended (don't know why). Where I was you don't know who has a gun and who doesn't.

You managed to get ahead of him. That's what annoyed him.

Just because they all sit there in boxes like a herd, that means you have to too, don't ya know?

I was taking my bike to work last year in the good weather, on the way home i heard someone call me a fkin pick, or words to that effect when i was filtering past a line of stationary traffic.

I stopped the bike, and took my helmet off and walked back to the car. The driver put his window up as I was walking back to his car and wouldn't get out to discuss what he'd said too me.

That's all really.

In situations like that, could you just knock there mirror off? or is that criminal damage? and I guess it is fairly easy for them to get your plate.

[rsv gone!]

I wear earplugs so don't care what they shout.

I think we should start a new thread titled: -

'How to perform a rolling burnout past the open window of retarded drivers who verbally abuse or (try to) physically intimidate filtering bikers'

I'm yet to complete my DAS and get a bike but I think it would be a great help for when I finally get out on the open road.

Not always. A while back KIWI_UK and I were on our way somewhere and the traffic along the A12 was solid. We were filtering and he clipped a guys bumper (the guy had crept forward to aviod us getting past) As he clipped his bumper (with his boot) the bloke hit the horn (not that one)KIWI got off his bike and walked back to the car.....and apologised to the bloke. Just as well really, cause when the bloke got out of his motor to check the damage, well, he was the biggest feckin person I've ever seen. Could have got interesting!

My only regret is that I didn't blow her a kiss. I'm sure she'd have exploded with rage if I did that

Certain people always try to make it difficult for us on bikes. I just have pleasure in knowing that they have only a minute chance of ever making it succeed.
One thing to always remember.. closing ones left hand and moving it up and down in a reciprocating motion can never be mis-interpreted or missed more importantly on a motorcycle. Generally this is reserved for the 'special' individuals generally in cars or vans. Gives me great satisfaction as I ride off.
