Re: What (besides politics) irritates you?
Brake checked a guy on a crotch rocket and caused him to ditch his bike in the ditch. Before you go saying I'm the asshole (I'm an asshole, but in this case, he started it), this began with him racing in front of me on a four lane road, then cutting me off, then trying to brake check ME. I'm not sure if I did something to anger him or what, but I'm not aware of anything. So I trail behind him for a while until he gets stuck behind slow moving traffic and can't move. I pass him in the left lane, then get in the right lane three or four vehicles ahead of him. Next thing I know, as I get ahead of those vehicles, he's right up on my ass. Left lane is clear. So I'm thinking if he's going to pull this intimidator/dale earnhart sr shit, I'm going to fix him. I gave him a warning, first lightly applying my brakes. He's still behind me. Could have shot around at any time. About a mile later, in response to him revving and swerving his bike behind me, and in anticipation of a slow moving car ahead, I braked...hard. I don't think he saw the car entering the road, and I watched him out of my right side peripheral vision end up ditching his bike in the ditch. I didn't stick around to find out and I turned off a few blocks ahead on the way to my destination. You know what? 90% of these pricks on crotch rockets drive them like assholes anyway. I'm not going to watch out for you if you can't watch out for yourself.
