People are just morons now adays I guess. Just gotta drive defensively and assume that every one has no idea what they're doing. On another note, who is honestly stupid enough to try and hit a huge trucks mirror when they pass it on a motocycle, especially with a 30mph difference?

The cemetaries are full of dead tough guys who thought it wouldn't happen to them. Your family needs you, put the pride aside and keep it safe.

Someone in an old white mini van decided i wasn't driving fast enough tonight , granted i wasn't exactly in a hurry, and probably wasn't doing the speed limit, and this van blew past me then slowed down to about HALF the speed limit , no one coming the other way , 2 lane road , legal to pass , so i hit the o/d off button (speed was around 35-40) and waited for the converter to lock, once it did , i started to pass , and the idiot speeds up again. I don't know if he thought he could outrun me or not , but he knows now that he doesn't have a chance... A mildly bombed cummins can sure gain speed in a hurry when you need it to...

I was then nice enough to slow down when he had no way around me and give him some smoke.

As we pulled into the parking lot i had dialled 911 i told them this guy was walking towards my truck threatening me with his hand behind his back i also told them i was armed with a 9mm and if he came anycloser i would shoot , lucky for him police responded quickly. Turnes out this guy wasnt even armed. After that day i dont carry my gun anymore I could have killed this guy over something stupid.Even today as i an typing this my hand are shaking thinking of what could have been the outcome of that day.

I saw a guy on a crotch rocket kick AT a moving cars door.
He was about six inches short of hitting his target... If that was my truck, and he had kicked it. I am pretty sure I would have lost my temper and taken him down

I see a lot of road rage and I do not get it- maybe because I'm on the road with the purpose to go from point A to point B and nothing else- I want to arrive at point B healthy (alive) and rested- some folks seem to use the road as a place to live out their pent up aggressions, in the anonymity of a sheetmetal cage or a helmet...
