BEER30 Posted July 3, 2009 #1 Posted July 3, 2009 A few days ago , I had to go into J-ville , NC (military town where Combat driving is a daily thing) and had a Suburban cut me off big time . There was 3 lanes , I was in the immediate inside lane on which he was in the center . I was up to his rear door . He knew I was there as he speeded up to the cage in front of him rear bumper to attempt to squeeze me out . No blinker , No time to react but to lock up the brakes and lay on the Stebel . He barely missed me as he swept over into my lane . Well .....then all of a sudden another horn start blaring out loud . Kind had a double tap in the ole' britches if you know what I mean ! It was a mid-size P/U that was in the center lane behind me and was behind that suburban . He speeded up along side of the suburban and started making hand signals that clearly signafied that he just almost caused an accident . In the tinted rear window of the suburban , all I seen was what appeared as an arm rasing and shaking . Then the guy in the p/u stared giving him the one finger salute ! At this time , I was laid back about 6 car lengths behind doing 45mph with the flow of the traffic . Every cage that was witnessing what was going on gave plenty of room for what may happen next . Then the p/u was along side then swerved into the suburban missing him , expressing what he had done to me . Then the p/u speeded up and swerved in front of the surburban . Man , this was getting exciting ! But I soon had to pull over at the next intersection to go to my destination . At that time , I didn't know really know what to do . To follow the p/u to where he was going to Thank him for looking out after us bikers or what ? I really didn't want this situation to exculate to anybody getting hurt , but admire the guy to stand up to another to look out for us . So since I didn't get to Thank the guy , I did make huge WAIVE in his rear veiw mirror in appreciation . BEER30
BoomerCPO Posted July 3, 2009 #2 Posted July 3, 2009 I'd bet $$$ the driver of the PU also is a bike rider. As for the driver of the Suburban the best we can hope for is that one day he will try that crap with a 1% and read in the paper about his demise. Boomer.........who knows that stupid cannot be fixed and there's not enough bleach in the gene pool.
bendtdj Posted July 3, 2009 #3 Posted July 3, 2009 Glad it didn't turn out bad for you. I would bet the suburban had a boot butter-bar 90 day wonder behind the wheel. Second Lieutenants, the second most dangerous thing in the military. The most dangerous is a Second Lieutenant with a MAP! Dave
