I disagree. Revving at someone when they act a **** isnt giving bikers a bad name. Bikers give us a bad name when they filter between lanes of the motorway at silly speeds, go through redlights to beyond the white line like pushbikes and drive dangerously, not show their frustration in what id say was an appropriate reaction

I'll disagree about the white line thing.
If you filter through to the lights you need to sit where the cat drives can see you, they don't naturally look sideways for you. At best get your mirrors ahead of theirs. Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk 4 Beta |

I usually pull at the side, with my front wheel on the line and do a quick blip of the throttle, not a horrendus rev as displayed in the video, a simple "vrum" not even a second long, on a twin it is a short bark sound and not antisocial.

I would have followed him on the second video and made him eat carbon fibre knuckles!

My reaction was over the top in the second one but not 5 minutes ago another young driver almost side swiped me on the roundabout before. Then this happens.
I wasn't going to rev it at first but when I saw his mate smiling, that was it. Even though his mate had nothing to do with it it's hard to be calm when that's what your met with after a close call. The ting about that queue of traffic is you would only be there for maybe 10 minutes max if you sat in line but it seems to be a prime spot for people skipping the queue well before it's safe to do so which is why I am always cautious when filtering there. I should have seen him nudge out slightly just before he pulled out but I was partly thinking about the muppet 5 minutes ago. After re-watching videos of things you have done you realise what you could have done better and that my reaction to some of these was over the top. Last edited by Dunn-y; 02-08-13 at 09:36 AM. |

If you say you would punch someone every time you saw them make a mistake in front of you then you must be:
a: Britains most wanted. b: Blind. c: A hermit who never goes out on their bike. d: A liar. Like you say I don't know you so you decide which. |

No i do not smack them all. Only ones that are stupid and do not say sorry for what they have done . And are obvious at fault
