Why? for his own safety! He's a bloke on a bike against a muppet in a 1+tonne car and it's unlikely that he would've one that fight isn't it?

I agree WB could've got badly hurt which is what I said in my previous post.


Plus a slight bit of sideways thinking here for you. Doesn't do much for the image of bikers does it? Other car users may well have seen WB filter up the side (no problem with this myself) and then not pull away fast enough to get ahead of the car and then start kicking it?

Don't get me wrong I'm not condoning what the car driver did but neither am I condoning what WB did either.

i couldn't i was in between to traffic islands, it literally all happened in seconds, he was about a foot away from me before he tunred into me and even then that happened virtually straight after i pulled away

basically what he did was undertake me and pull in before he had got past but he did it on purpose

so, what really happened was, you cut this bloke up, he came after you, pulled in front of you and got out, you ran round to the passenger door, got his mrs out, rogered her against the bonnet while the 3rd party kept the driver busy.

she's filing for divorce cos you've shown her a good time, he's reporting you to the police for knicking his wife, and to rub salt into his wounds you kicked his car?

wrong gav. you're plain wrong

You have the worst luck frilly. To be fair i would have just left him to it, then hunted him down later with a big crow bar

I need to stop reading rhread like this as they make my blood boil!


I hope you're not badly damaged & the other driver gets whatever he deserves!

all done, went up and handed in statement, just go to sit and wait now

when I started riding a bike, I was told by an old duffer (62 year old super bike rider with 45 years riding experience) that its not who is right and who is wrong when on a bike, its who is right and who is left.

very easy to get angry at car drivers but when you are on a bike its better to take a deep breath and get away from them.

oh yeah wideboy, how slow were you pulling away that the old duffer was able to undertake you and pull in front of you, next time grab a wee bit bigger handful.
