MOTM - Oct '12, Feb '14
scared me

so today i'm sitting at a light and i see this idiot come flying up behind me at about 50mph (speed limit is 35 there)... i'm about to gtfo when he switches lanes to the one next to me and runs the red light i'm sitting at... which not only is right in front of the sheriffs station (unfortunately noone was there), its right next to a trash dump which a huge trash truck had a green light and had to stop to avoid this moron!
it pissed me off so much that i raced up ahead to catch up and revved the crap out of my bike at redline right next to him for a second or two (open yoshi pipe) before calling him names and criticizing his driving skills. i felt good afterward. very macho.

@Whiskey might enjoy hearing about our poor cagers

I agree 100% on both counts. That guy was an absolute douche for what he did and yes Ryan, you need to wring the hell out of your twofiddy

p.s. It generally doesn't help having fits of rage like that, agreed what he did was absolutely ******, but think of the harm you could have done to yourself if something had gone wrong during your tantrum? Be careful out there

That would've definitely scared the crap outta me. Can't imagine the result if the trash truck hadn't avoided him.


and of course he doesn't think it's capable, he rides an R6 now. That's always the trend, lol. Love the 250 until you 'upgrade' then dog it all day.
