    Gestures aren't so bad.

    A couple of summers back I was slowing my motorcycle to make a left turn from a 2-lane highway onto a rural road and noticed that the only other car in sight, a small late model import piloted by a chick / cell-phone combination, was approaching rapidly from the rear. Said pilot was apparently completely oblivious to my flashing turn signal, hand signal indicating my intent to turn left & brake light as she was not bothering to slow down at all. Having seen this movie before, I prepared to swerve off the road to the right to avoid the imminent crash. Just before that became necessary the offending cage pilot, without signalling her intent and without slowing at all, passed me on the left. Had I attempted the left turn I'd planned to make I wouldn't be here to post this message today.

    Rather than merely make a rude gesture in her general direction as she passed I caught up to her, pulled alongside, kicked her drivers' side door as hard as I could a few times, pointed to my still flashing turn signal and then and only then made a rude gesture.

    Stupid? Sure. But I'll do it again next time as well. If you ride the life I save might be yours.

      Ha ha right on, I used to do stuff like that when I rode too. The real pisser though is that these airheads don't realize they did anything wrong.

        I guess it is a good thing I left out my non guitar gear then.

          Same here. Doing a "wanker" hand sign at someone is bad, but riding after them, drawing your finger across your throat as you kick their wing mirror off is perfectly acceptable in my book. There's usually a fucking good reason to do it, ie. they would have killed me with their stupidity, not just dented another car. You don't often get chance to pull over after a collision between a car and a bike to swap details, so losing your rag with some dumb cunt in a cage who isn't paying attention is absolutely the way forward.

          Unless it's my Jag.

            Being a former limo driver, I had to deal with assholes who could not drive daily. Suprisingly I did not have road rage and just reported dickhead to the state patrol. I don't care what the other driver looks like, these days anyone can carry a gun.

              Yeah, I tend to refrain from getting too angry for fear of getting shot/followed home. It's a great world we live in, huh?

                  Do you have any amps or just guitars?
