painterman67 Posted June 14, 2009 #1 Posted June 14, 2009 Went for a ride with the wife and a friend today. Just as we got into Martinsville we made a lane cahange to pass a tractror trailer and a car and as we passed the car shge decided to pull over on me. I was last in line as ususal.This lady pushed me all the way over to the comncrete medium to where I emidiatley started throwing sparks of of the concrete where my center stand rubbed it. Then she came on over completely in the lane and had me between her car and the medium. After a good hard kick to her driver side door she realized I was there. As she was pulling on up I was pissed so I kicked the back drivers side door also. We got up next to her at the light and tried to get her to [ull over so I could check for damages and she refused and drove off. I call the police and the officer who came to the scene told me not to worry about what i did as maybe now she will look before she changes lanes. Therre was no damage to my bike, just a little scrape mark on the center stand where it made contact. Now as for her car there is 2 size ten dents on the drivers side. Watch out there.They sure aint looking for you. David
Guest Ken8143 Posted June 14, 2009 #2 Posted June 14, 2009 She was really putting the squeeze on you...
RandyR Posted June 14, 2009 #3 Posted June 14, 2009 You're lucky to be telling this story. Glad there was a little room for you to squeeze thru.
mini-muffin Posted June 15, 2009 #4 Posted June 15, 2009 Glad you were ok and glad it wasn't Laura that she did that to. As I know you are. Might have been a different type of dent in her car then. Cops right maybe she'll look next time before moving over. Some folks are just plain idiots though. Margaret
saddlebum Posted June 15, 2009 #5 Posted June 15, 2009 Glad your Ok must be the weather . I had a car in the third lane but behind me want the ramp on the right . I nstead of lowing down and cutting across behind me to get over for which he had lots of room he had to speed up pass me and cut across right in front of me squeezing between me and the car in front of me as well as force me over to give him room. Wish I had the truck instead of the bike at that moment.
papa smurf Posted June 15, 2009 #6 Posted June 15, 2009 THANK YOU X 10 !!! I gotta say thank ya for kicking the crap outta that cager there (even though I'm sorry it went down like that).

davecb Posted June 15, 2009 #7 Posted June 15, 2009 A Stebel horn WILL take care of em...It will almost give them a heart attack...
BIG TOM Posted June 15, 2009 #8 Posted June 15, 2009 A Stebel horn WILL take care of em...It will almost give them a heart attack... HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT...WAKES THEM RIGHT UP....
painterman67 Posted June 15, 2009 Author #9 Posted June 15, 2009 A Stebel horn WILL take care of em...It will almost give them a heart attack... Never seen the kneed for a set but I think after today one will be put on maybe even 2. David
Yammer Dan Posted June 15, 2009 #10 Posted June 15, 2009 Glad you are OK. I bought some horns not long ago. They look good sitting there on the shelf!!
Guest seuadr Posted June 15, 2009 #12 Posted June 15, 2009 last year i had a run in with a cager that was oblivious, texting on his phone and drifting around, fortuantly, i saw the idiot and managed to avoid any accident.. bought a pair of the electromagnetic stebl horns after that and haven't looked back. they are LOUD.
Dano Posted June 15, 2009 #13 Posted June 15, 2009 You need to borrow my size 14's sometime....... they DEFINATELY leave an impression! Dan
bongobobny Posted June 15, 2009 #14 Posted June 15, 2009 A Stebel horn WILL take care of em...It will almost give them a heart attack... Two of 'em are even better...
Guest seuadr Posted June 15, 2009 #15 Posted June 15, 2009 Two of 'em are even better... get the dual tone electromagnetic horns.. there is no delay between button and fire and they are loud as hell, IN STEREO!
Cerviperus Posted June 15, 2009 #16 Posted June 15, 2009 I'm kind of surprised (pleasantly so) that the cop was that easy going. I assume he at least made a report of it? I'd hate for the woman in the car to later report it as a hit and run against you... wouldn't that be just the luck?
Eck Posted June 15, 2009 #17 Posted June 15, 2009 Glad to hear you and your wife are OK. I must say its nice to know that I am not the only target out there....... everyone ride safe.......... because you are all targets........
CUCARACHA004 Posted September 18, 2013 #18 Posted September 18, 2013 glad that you are fine after you and cage fight. I also once had a cage run me over to the edge of the road. I was on the inside, a guy had wanted my lane, he pulled over right in front of my bike. his cage was almost pass me, when he had pulled-over in my lane. I had to put-on my brakes to keep him from hitting my bike. after he had gotten in front of my bike, I speeded-up, got in front of him, and slow-down to the point that he wanted no part of me. after I gave him the finger, he had turn off on a side road. he doesn't need to drive on the roads.
BuddyRich Posted September 18, 2013 #19 Posted September 18, 2013 Put two on. or three. You know its loud enough when it scares the crap outta you and you are the one using it...

Watch out there.They sure aint looking for you.David I had a lady in a van on her cell phone do me that way I didn't let her push me to the medium I kicked her driver door in and it scared her so bad she stopped... I think she thought she hit me....I promise she had more then a ding in her door...

Watch out there.They sure aint looking for you. David Really really glad you're okay. That could've been a bad one. I've gotta ask this question though; I know there are a number of bad drivers out there, but is it a possibility that you just happened to be in her blind spot and she just didn't see you? I know that doesn't make for as good a story as the other, but maybe, just maybe that happened. And then, when you went all ape sh*! on her doors, yelling and kicking and such, that she got scared enough to not want to stop and get hurt by you. I know my wife who is 5'2" and 125lbs and mild natured is gonna get scared when faced with a situation like that, and who knows how she would react? On second thought.....she was probably just a dumb ass driver who had it our for you and made you a target and by God she was gonna come into your lane or else. LOL.
etcswjoe Posted September 18, 2013 #22 Posted September 18, 2013 Glad you are OK, I had a lady make eye contact with me and keep coming over one morning the horn finally got her attention.
Venturous Randy Posted September 18, 2013 #23 Posted September 18, 2013 Wow, this post is over four years old. RandyA
Flyinfool Posted September 18, 2013 #24 Posted September 18, 2013 Wow, this post is over four years old. RandyA But the cagers have not yet stopped attacking us.
KICKSHOT Posted September 19, 2013 #25 Posted September 19, 2013 Well since we have opened it again. I used to have that happen to me more than I wanted. I put on stebil horns but you have to hit those while you are being ran off the road and some times the evasive maneuvers take precedent over horn pushing. I put loud pipes on my bike one day just to try them out and I have never been pushed out of a lane or off the road since. So the loud pipes have stayed even if there are times I would have liked my factory pipes back. kickshot
