Default Idiot rice rocket

Coming home from our gtg, I was driving home after filling up when I crotch rocket made a uturn. He probably saw my car and decides to follow. Anyways, this idiot is on my right side and then he slows down and now he is on my left side. He wants to race me, but it just rained, onresidential street, and LEO infested. I was not born yesterday so I let him do his thing while I'm driving the speed limit and ignoring this idiot. He kept on looking at me as he weaves to my left and then right. He finally got tired and took off like a banshee doing a wheelie. Suddenly a white SUV made uturn and let's just say it was not a good night for him! Anybody else out there getting harrased by crotch rockets?

Unfortunately, I too have seen many incidents like the one you describe. Just how cool are these reckless riders when their blood is getting hosed of the street after they wipe out?

I was happy to see the unmark LEO pull over this guy. The last thing i want to see is this idiot wiping out and get run over by oncoming traffic. He was so close to my car I could have stretched my arm and shook his hand!

YUP!

But I don't give them the attention unless we are clear and open on the freeway!

Then I'll hammer it and give them a run for the money, It's awesome to see their face when they can't pull me and I pull them

Thanks,Matt

Guy got what he deserved. Next time maybe he'll think twice about street racing.

This is what happens when you are an idiot on a crotch rocket.

After 7thson's post I took the link down.
