bloody hell that sucks, and nobody got the number, hope you get well soon :slight_smile:

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

that is proper cack… there seems to be alot of this kinda thing going on at the moment…

I feel for you, I’m only up the road though so if you need any help give me a shout, or if you want someone to ride with when you get out just let me know I’d be happy to tag along…

Probably nothing, he had probably got pissed off by another bike further down the road and you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Seen it happen a couple of times down my way.

yep - I nearly got taken out by a ford focus last night - bloke didnt think I was allowed to occupy the same space as a car and kept trying to nudge up next to me in heavy traffic. When the lights went red, I got off the bike and went up to his window to ask if he wanted to ride pillion and would he like my number. Blank stare lol.

That’s terrible to hear. Get well.

There are some bloody crazy people out there, your so lucky, those range rovers are bloody big things!!! Hope you heal up soon, sounds like your leg is very sore. Also there is a good chance that this car drives that route often so maybe worth keeping an eye out :slight_smile:

That is shocking, sorry to hear that. People just shouldn’t be able to get away with such aggressive behavior. I have had a few occasions where cars have swerved at me without no provocation at all! I think some car driver just have such small penises that they feel they have to drive like they are bigest **** on the road to make up for it:P some drivers defo have a thing against bikes just because we are restained like they are in their big cages.

I hope you get well soon.

I read something similar yesterday. This van driver and a lady on a moped had some kind of disagreement (I think it was to do with his erratic driving). Pulling away from lights, she got infront of him. He nudged her bike a few times from behind and she came off. He then drove over her bike and her head. Thanks god for helmets. The guy didn’t even get done for attempted murder, which it damn well should be. It could have been her legs and she’d be in a wheelchair. He got 2 years for dangerous driving.

Absolutely outrageous. I recon everyone should be made to ride a bike for 6mnths before they can get a car licence. Mabe then theyd realise just how vulnerable we are out there.

Hope you heal good

What is wrong with these people? Such scant regard for others. Dumbfounded.

Hope you get better soon.

There are some rite nobbers on the roads. Ive never seen anyone purposely go for a biker but obviousley from reading this it happens.

There isnt a single day when im out on my bike where i havent had a near miss with some nobber that hasnt been paying any attention. Its normaly someone on a mobile phone but i could rite a massive list of all the times ive nearly been taken off.

I have been head on with a car before aswel, he was on the wrong side of the road. Wrote his car off but £25 later my bike was sorted. The ambo guy was shocked that i had no injuries at all, nore was i in shock i was just worried about my bike. That was about 7 years ago now.

There are complete idiots out there, hope you heal soon, i’m sure this would’ve been an isolated incident so get back on your bike as soon as you can :smiley:

I feel for you, it’s happened to me and my misses, but it comes as no surprise…can’t believe I can say that!!

But honestly, it amazes me that there are so people out there essentially prepared to commit murder. That’s what it is at the end of the day, whether the law sees it that way or not, they could’ve/will/have killed someone!!

It’s taken me a few years to not provoke these people, it’s not easy. But you didn’t at look what happens!

Get well soon, and get back on the bike :wink:

Shocked to hear of this. Glad you have no serious injuries. I know it is going to be hard to trace the vehicle with no number, but I hope this has been reported to the police.
