I did a little research on this early this morning. Some say it is for real and about the same amount say it isn't real. The ones that say it is real mentioned several cars boxing you in ( single riders) and taking you down or just flat out coming up from behind and hitting you.
I ride by myself much more than I ride with anyone else and try to watch everyone around me like they are going to do something stupid and most of the time when they do something even really stupid I am not surprised in the least. Believe it or not there are a lot of people out there that can't drive at all and it should be a criminal offense to even issue them a license and a set of keys to a car. I always let my wife know when I am taking the scooter out even for a little ride and tell her I love her.
Personally I think we are all in a lot more danger with just the general public on cell phones trying to eat ,(talk/text with their mouth cramped full), and drive at the same time than we are with these TNT punks if this really is real. Make sure everyday things are good between yourself and your maker are in good shape if that is a concern you even think of every once in a while.
I was coming home from work just yesterday and had already got into the turning lane, blinker on to turn, everything in order like I supposed to do it. Then out of the blue here comes a jeep cherokee in the turning lane headed towards me head on! He gets out of the turning lane as fast as he got in it cuts around me back into the turning lane. As he went by me he flipped me off and turned into a parking lot and motioned me to come visit him, still flashing that finger, to which I did with much enthusiasm. I pull into the lot and he jumps out of the cherokee and comes stomping over to me like he is somekind of badass or he had a medical issue that simple hemorrhoid creme will solve, maybe his mama didn't wipe his butt good enough, or teach him how too. Anyway, he seemed to calm down a bit when he realizes he has just gotten his wish and the fact that his badassed-ness didn't bother me at all. ( The finger kinda pushes my buttons, those don't touch for any reason buttons!!) He says You didn't have to give me that dirty look and throw your hands up !!! I saw you !! I reply calmly, if you saw me in the turning lane then why did you turn into it and almost hit me head on. Again He says I saw you but calmer by this time. I told him I thought you had already hit me head on, and then you start waving that finger around, and give me an invite to the parking lot to discuss your bad driving habits. There wasn't much he had to say after that, and he saw he had really pissed off an old crazy man that , immediately responsed to that finger being waved at me. I wasn't even on the scooter either. I was driving an F-250 four wheel drive diesel truck my wife calls the bus. His last words to me was "Have a good day! even though I said it first,:angry:. If they ( these idiots:loony
don't see this truck in broad daylight, we should never ever assume they can see a nine foot chopper either even though I try to give them the benifiet of the doubt sometimes.
Becareful everytime you get on the roads no matter what you are driving !
