while on the Spyder yesterday..Called a Fagot and nice Girlie bike

[spyderrock]

So yesterday I was heading to the tree nursery to get some Doktor Doom to kill my ant problem. I am behind a guy in a 4 door Toyota corolla beside him is a lifted up Ford one ton, the idiot in the car is texting on his iPhone yes im close I can see it clearly we were just leaving the stop light i back off a bit and he nearly takes out the truck beside him then pulls back into the right lane and slams his breaks on to try and control the car. The truck sees this and pulls away I pull up beside him and say hey buddy get off the phone...then he yells to me HEY FAGOT F YOU NICE GIRLIE BIKEas i start laughing I yell back to him HEY BUDDY NICE TOYOTA COROLLA YOU GOT THERE. Then he tells me to pull over so he can kick my ass, I look in the car and there is a baby seat in the back. I also see the company he works for as it is stitched on the shoulder of his shirt. The nerve of some people like im going to fight this idiot and send him home to his wife and kids so he can explain that he got beat up by a Fagot. I have been called a lot of things in my life but never that wow, 25 years working in the oil industry I have been called it all but never that oh well I hope he had a better day I did, i got rid of my ant problem.

the world is made up of some simple minds...

Wish I had a dollar for each time I was made #1 by some idiot who was in the wrong to start with.

What's the secret to not losing your temper? You handled that quite well and didn't let it bother you and had a nice day. Nice job.

It was focused on the ants.

[Tierhog]

I had the training wheel comment. As if any bike in the history of the free world ever put them on the front. I have found out something interesting though. You slap a performance exhaust like a HMF or hindle...something with some bite....those comments fade really fast.

[Tierhog]

Spyder that guy simply transferred his anger/embarrassment on you. What a moron. If your still pissed, call the company and say the guy was driving like an idiot and challenging people to fight with a company shirt on. Ask them what kind of business they are running etc. Or let it go...you vented to us anyhow... We love ya!

[Sny]

Nice loud pipe, hold the throttle and bounce off the rev limited for a bit then let it rip blowing bits of kenda tire all over the pavement

How could anyone possibly continue such a conversation?

"Yeah well... he's still a wimp... " He'll be crying about it for weeks.

Nice job on the anger management. The world is full of people who talk before they think.

I try to not argue with idiots; It can be tough to stoop that low, and they usually beat me because they've got more experience at being one...
Being called-out by a guy in a Corolla... Think how miserable his life must be!

Thanks everyone this forum makes my day and riding the Spyder well not much can ruin at day one one except of course getting hit by a truck . I think it is amazing in this day and age what people will say and do. As far as not losing my temper I have only done that 3 times in my entire life, I have a lot of patience for people like that poor guy. I like to use my humor to make the days go by and telling this guy to have a good day well that was icing on the cake. I have a smart A** come back for pretty much any thing anyone can say to me, have a great day Spyder people

Glad you came out all right.

Had an incident Friday. Going down the highway in the fast lane in a formation of two--she two seconds behind me. We are following traffic at the same speed. Car in front about 1/2 block away. Pickup decides to pull in between me and akspyderlady--almost takes her front end off--she had to brake to avoid a collision. When I did not speed up to close the gap, the driver of the pickup got out from behind me, got by my side and gave me the number 1 sign. Then dodged over to the slow lane, got around the next car and began to weave his truck between anything that would make one more car ahead for him. South Central Construction was the company car he was driving.

Were I in a vindictive mood, I would have reported him to the troopers and called the company he worked for. My luck, he probably was the owner anyway.

Bottom Line: I was just glad to see the down the road and away from me and akspyderlady.

Good thing you didn't use your Trunk Monkey

[dliszews]

The gene pool needs a better filter.

[ARtraveler]

I gotta get me one of those.

ya no crap right I would have pulled over and shoved his phone up his rear LOL .

[JCSMOKE]

I for one would appreciate if the folks here could allow that Particular F word to be sensored somewhat. Being someone on the other side of that slur I am well aware of the bleeding and bruising that often comes with it.

i have a gopro cam on my helmed it scares people to say anything

The fact that you held your temper is great! Something I'm working on!

Great stuff there! Was this in VT? Wouldn't surprise me!!!

Hi Vt no this happened here in Alberta Canada where we were just voted as the worst drivers in the country . It actually is pretty crazy here every kid has a good paying job and they all drive fancy lifted up trucks. You really have to pay attention when driving in the city or else you can be in trouble real quick. And about how I don't lose my temper well that is actually a pretty long story maybe not one for these pages. Lots of people are pretty brave in the confines of their car I think he was one of those guys. If I had stopped to have a "chat" with this guy it would not prove any thing, im way past that point in my life settling issues with violence. Would I have come out lucky sure unless he had a few tricks up his sleeve to. I was always trained to look and listen and im good at both, he really was just a scared little guy being brave behind glass. And yes maybe just maybe I will visit his work place.
And to Lamont where do I get a monkey sized for the RT

[bruisersbaby]

My mom always told me, "Consider the source and rise above it". Just because they have to act ignorant does not mean we have to stoop to their level. It also proves that we who ryde Spyders are much more intelligent than certain cagers and do not need to use cursing, being made #1, and other various and sundry expressions.

[spydaman60]

enough said! i'm glad that you got rid of the ants!

[bone crusher]

that's a funny story...I've never heard that type of stuff but I'd find it really amusing if I did. Glad you took care of the ant issue....

[Bob Denman]

Suburban Auto Group: I'm not sure exactly where they are, but I'm pretty sure that they're in the Pacific Northwest...

[Dikicep9]

Monday's are always manic. I needed that "trunk monkey"! I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Thanks!
