Squirted

… on purpose … I dropped back after the 1st and wiped me visor … back up to speed … the twonk did it again … he thought it was highly amusing … he even gave me a 2 fingered salute as he turned left out his window …

I was only pootling along at the speed limit …

Was a bit bovvered, what is it with people ?

Why didn’t you overtake?

Single carriage twisty road at national speed limit, on coming traffic etc etc

Just teasing . I was squirted yesterday too and it smeared my visor (but better that than getting comma screen wash in your eyes from having your visor open ). I always overtake cars on this stretch. I was waiting to see if the boys in blue were hiding behind their usual hedge…

THINK I WOULD OF GIVEN HIM A BIT OF THE FOOT TREATMENT!!!

Cagers are all brave sticking there fingers up at you when they are turning into another road and never when your next to them.

Your have to have a water pistol with you incase you see him again, and hope he has the window open

Take a note from the thread the other day and carry a disk lock in your pocket

You dont need to do anything other than remember that you’re a better person than the driver will ever be

ask babyj about his eggs…

That sounds like a good idea to me!

… it’s not as if I antagonise people when I ride, and I wouldn’t lower myself unless I was really pee’d off

It begs the question though, are female riders more vunerable than men ?

I don’t want to appear as an easy target, but what do I do to avoid being targeted ?

If male drivers think that we are easy targets, I pity them as that’s just malicious

A friend of mine was recently victimised by this kind of behaviour, however the driver didn’t know that her better half had gone for a blat and was waiting just up the road for her to catch up … he was sorry when he caught up with him though and made him turn off up a one way street … priceless

i heard of a guy that had a water pistol taped to his tank and would “fire” at cagers if they pissed him off.

obviously they would laugh as no harm right?

well they didnt laugh when they got home and saw that the waterpistol actualy had brake fluid!

now i dont recomend we should do this as it would bring more hasm between bikers and cagers…

Reminds me of years back I knew a guy who cycled everywhere, and he had an aerosol air horn attatched to the handlebars of his bike - a bit louder than a bell shall we say.

One morning was was cycling along and a couple of blokes in a car cut him up and shouted loads of abuse, for no apparent reason.

A little further along the road was a set of traffic lights and lo and behold who should he catch up with ?

Anyway they still had the window of their car open so he unhooked the air horn and stuck it in their window and gave a mighty blast.

Apparently their faces were a picture !

lol thats wicked about the horn and the water pistal lol

Naught Naught, but at least put something a little more exotic than brake fluid…glass of battery acid anyone?

Im loving the air horn, gives me ideas

… could have done with an air horn when some middle aged guy in a Golf driving like a chav cut me up this morning

When I gestured he should look first before changing lanes so violently, he started flaying his arms around, he look a little stressed with me ???

Incidently, I got squirted again this morning by a BT van, I don’t think that it was intentional, these things happen …

Always carry a box of eggs cellotaped to your tank Can you imagine that lol…

I’ve got a ‘friend’ and he uses his leg like a lance when pissed off by motorists, lines his boot up with the wing mirror and a quick blast of the throttle and away comes the mirror. I wouldn’t reccomend it, two wrongs and all that.
