While out on a road ride today, some dumb teenager who was in a car with his friend, decided to chuck a glass bottle at me then sped off. Missed me, but it did hit the camelback, was just a bit pissed off, ok was really fuming. Already was mad after realizing I need to build a new rear wheel for the mtb after tearing the whole hub apart to find that the entire engagement system in the hub is shot. Wanted to sprint after them, but decided it probably was probably a good idea not to pursue them, they will get theirs someday down the road via karma.

I hate that crap. One time this driver harassed/beeped/cursed at my and some road buddies. a couple miles down the road he was pulled over by a cop and we all laughed at him and snickered.

you have to wonder what the hell people go through or what their parents did to them to make them so angry, mean and spiteful.

i got hit in the back by an empty beer can.... guy was real clever because i kept the can, and remembered his vanity plates.... i cant recall what it is now but I rode to the police station, gave them the can and his plates and they pulled him over, not only was he charged with dwi, but he also got some sorta road rage bit, and assault of a minor. he was not to happy.... i found out that his reason for throwing the can was because i cut him off.

I carry a collapsable asp in my road bag for just such assholes.

A few years ago I was on a road ride with two friends when an 80"s era Camaro pulls up and a shady looking kid leans out the window with a paintball gun and looks right at us. We make eye contact and he hesitates for a second before getting back into his seat and the driver pins it outta there. We were moving along at full clip (25+) on a flat frontage road inches from a chainlink fence. If that kid had opened fire on us we would have balled up big time. It would not have been good. I'm glad he thought twice but I was still super pissed. There is nothing more frustrating than watching a motorist who just did you wrong pull away....

Back in HS me and couple buddies rode our 20"ers to another town because we had heard they had a cool "freestyle" scene. It was a bust...anyway on the way back my friend Bill was on the opposite side of the road as myself and the other guy. Bill's running his mouth talking trash as per usual "F' this F' that etc."

During one of these tirades he lets out an "F You" right as some "pure bred Italians" (This when I lived Upstate NY) in a Camaro pass between us. They start yelling at him and the three of are yelling back at them that he wasn't talking to them. The yahoos peel off and come back and make high speed pass back through. They turned around and did it again except this time they threw a full Pepsi can still attached to one of those old school six pack holders. Went right between my legs and burst all over me and my bike when it hit the frame stander on my Hutch. Woulda hurt like heck if had actually hit me. Wankers.

I'm seeing a pattern of Camaros here. You know what the IROC in IROC Camaro stands for right?.....Italian Retard Out Cruising

I've had stuff thrown at me before, from cars

One time I was holding a rock and right as the guy threw the bottle I threw the rock and it hit him in the face. I was laughing so hard (after I dodged the bottle that is).

Never had stuff thrown at me when I was on my bike, though.

 

[mantispf2000]

Had a similar "throwing" experience. For those in the know, Kingsbury Grade is one of the climbs coming out of Lake Tahoe, near the casinos. I'm riding up/home from work, and I have Alaina's seat on my bike (this is a few months after her Heaven trip). I'm less than a 1/2 mile from the top, when the driver of a smaller UHaul throws a can, which hits my legs. Granted, I'm in shock, both because of the effort of the ride, and the fact that this jerkwad actually throws something at a bike with a child's seat. I get to the top, call 911 on my cell, and hope that the driver will be stopped at the bottom when I get there. No such luck, though the officer was there. Dang if I didn't kicked myself the rest of the way homefor not getting the plate number to get the individual's information from UHaul......

Unless it was a face shot you should have been fine.

Body shots sting for a brief moment but in my experience don't cause much lasting pain (once the adrenaline sets in anyways) and after the first or second shot you'll pretty much not notice.


I know because I play PB =/

First time playing I didn't think to bunker and I ended up with about 6 welts that round alone, it sucked, but when you're standing there getting hit you actually have to check to see if it was a hit. You feel something but you don't know what it is right away. Usually the paint on your fingers from feeling it gives it away though.

Riding down the road one day a convertible drives by and out comes somebody taco. That's right, I said taco. Hard shell taco.

****ing thing disintegrates on contact with me, permanently stains my shorts and actually cuts my hand, to the point of bleeding.

Really! Who throws a taco?

I was kind of pissed but at the same time in shock that someone threw a taco at me, and we've always laughed about since then.

 

[Westy]

I can't count the number of time some asshole has yelled or done something stupid while passing. Of course while passing they are at wide open throttle and soon find themselves going way too fast and almost run off the road.

This reminds me of the time I was cut off in my car leaving a taco bell. I honk the guy gives me the finger. The light at the next intersection turns yellow and I gun it to make while the guy that cut me off hits his brakes so he didnt run the red. I lobbed my leftover bean burrito out the window just as I was passing and watched that sucker Explode on his back window. It was a thing of beauty. The explosion effect of a 40 mph burrito decelarating to 0 in a split second is awesome. there was bean shrapnal 30 ft in the air.

 

[eaterofdog]

Get the tag people. Write it in the ****ing dirt if you have to. Then call the cops. Throwing something out of a moving car at a biker is felony time.

 

[KavuRider]

I just got this image of Dr Evil in my mind when you said that

Taco is pretty strange.

Most people around here don't throw things...just yell and try to run you off the road. Its amazing how little it takes to send someone over the edge...

My story....
Riding down the road some young douche bags in a jeep pass me throw their Big Gulp at me & miss. I catch up to them at the next light they didn't see me coming. I took a big mouthful of water from my camel back & spit it all on the douche riding shotgun. They turn left I turn right, never saw them again. Victory was MINE!!!!

This is what dead D cell batteries are useful for.

Best part was that it was home-made, there wasn't a Taco Bell anywhere around.
Funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Oh yeah, there's no doubt that it was homemade. I liked those shorts too...

I would like to add for the record that the only thing James was concerned with when this happened was trying to stay on his bike through his laughing fit.

Your user name is quite appropriate.

Are you going to mess with some 220lb guy waving this in the air, screaming "Death to truck drivers, Allah Jihad!!!"

No, you wouldn't.

I don't know which would be more fun, throwing a snake or an angry mongoose in the window of some asshole driver.

I think maybe carrying a pair of fighting cocks might do the trick as well.

"I've got three cocks on me, and two of them will kill you quick. The other takes a few months for its death power to kick in. Moral of the story, you're gonna die by my cock."

Yeah, but if the enemy is packing a hoard of feral cats you'll get pvssy whipped before they die by yer cock.

Every morning I wake up to the words of R. Lee:
"God has a hard-on for my cock because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before my cock! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to my cock! Do you ladies understand?"

Its pretty awesome being one of my cocks.

Not a riding story but kinda cool. I was walking home from work and a car load of girls nailed me with a bag of taco bell garbage. In anger I picked it up and was going to toss it out at the park a couple of blocks away. Well the cops have been shooting radar at the park because it is in a school zone. Low and behold the girls get nailed for speeding. I walked up to them and handed them their garbage. I was pretty happy as I walked away from them.

Why on earth did you not tell the cop about the girls littering whilst simultaneously assaulting you mere moments prior???!!! That would have really made their day.
