"As long as you didnt "assault" anyone..."
Yeah... only an irrational hothead would do that, Chase. |

Irrational jerk? I assume this is barb at me? The jerk was the individual on the phone. This coming from the guy who pulled the wheelie and almost went to jail? What w/ have been funny is you drop the bike AND end up in jail. Then the clown on the phone wins. Even after your lovely display, do you think you changed that guy any? He w/ do the same exact thing next time because you haven't had a lasting effect on him. Eating jello for a week or two has a way of changing people. Bottom line is, you felt the incident required action on your part. Your actions were pointless and frankly stupid. Either whip his ass or let it go. Anything else is a waste of time.

War,
Here in the state of Florida we have the right to carry, and use, concealed weapons if attacked (even if the attack might have been provoked). The actions you described could get you killed.
That said, I enjoyed Chase's story as much as everyone else. The image was classic humorous revenge. I just think it was not in our best interest to piss off another voter. That's all.
Back to the "Harley Snub" discussion: I often wave first, regardless of the make of the bike. If no return wave, no sweat. If the "finger" no sweat. If the wave is returned, that's nice.
I stop to help stranded motorcyclists on the road too, regardless of make. Maybe, if I am in a jam, someone will return the favor. Maybe not. But that wouldn't stop me from doing so in the future.
I have been riding over 45 years now and things have really changed since the 60s when I began. However, I strongly resist allowing that to change me or my attitude. |

"then she flipped out...
"TURN THAT THING OFF, I AM ON THE PHONE!"
Uh huh..."
You should have kicked her ass, Chase. Some people never learn until they get their ass kicked... unless they're psychopaths. |

Dave - Man has Florida gone down the toilet. I grew up there - Largo. What kind of state would allow someone to provoke an argument and then shoot the other guy for getting mad? Anyway, thats a risk you take in any state. I am still alive and I have served justice on dozens of occasions, though age has made me more tolerant. Bottom line, you gotta do what you gotta do. |

In certain cities it is illegal, but mostly not. |

Maybe it should be.
I have read about studies that show cell phone users are as bad as drunks in driving simulator tests.
As far as I am concerned, distracted drivers present a serious threat.
I definitely watch other drivers and try to stay away from the ones on cell phones. |

Hell, I'd be happy with a law requiring an earpiece. |
