Got spit on today.

[BlewBayou]

Well I'm riding my bike to work this evening plugging along safely at 55 with a line of cars behind me (Screw em) and I see an old van coming at me. The window is rolled down and the guy spits a loogie out and it plasters my windscreen. I was furious! Coming to my senses I quickly regained my composure and just started laughing out loud. That is the first time I've been spit on.
They've tail-gated me, ran me off the road, thrown trash at me, thrown a plastic bottle at me, purposely stomped on their brakes in front of me, merged on me, sprayed their windshield fluid to soak me. But this was a first.

I'll take a damp rag out with me in the morning and clean it up.(Shaking head)
Ahhh.....the joys of motorcycling.

Why.

[pingpong]

so i don't get it, was this 2 lanes or 4? were you in the fast lane going slow? or just doing the limit??

[wannab]

thats why we have the handgun carry permit in tennessee. they toss bottles at you, you toss lead back

[LoRez]

I've heard that in certain circles this is acceptable behavior.

Very punk!

Glad to hear you kept your cool, and your sense of humor.

Ewww.....wear rubber gloves when you do the clean up and dump them and the rags in the Haz Waste container. You never know, that loogie could have been from a Yankee.

I haven't experienced any of that sort of attitude on powered bikes.

On bicycles I've had cans, bottles and ?blueberries? thrown at me, been screamed at, horns blown, run off the road and shot at.
I thought one guy was going to jump out of his bus window on me.
Never any bodily fluids, but heavy metals moving at mach speed have been determined to be detrimental to one's health.

That's livin'. Maybe not for long.

Oh, don't be THAT GUY........

get over......


CLB - I've had much of that stuff bicycling as well....... none of it motorcycling, but I don't believe in hosing up traffic either.

I think I see a new Redneck Olympics event in the making...

Are you sure he wasn't just drooling heavily?

Triumph envy is understandable.

Although, I'd like to see that guy try that with a Hardley rider wearing club colours. If he did, he wouldn't be spitting (or eating) for a while.
