Rump Rocket Morons..
Ok, I've had all of the 'Stang guys stunts. Crazy passing, revving at traffic lights, burn outs at traffic lights, giving me the "come on" sign. 
Also had similar behavior from Trans Am and Camaro dudes.
I ignore them all. 'Cuz thats waht pi55es them of the most.
Of late I've been getting this stupid-*** behavior from dudes on street bikes. Crazy-stupid stuff. If coming at me they have done wheelies.
If coming up from behind, I've had them wait till the last second and do a "nosie" - looks like they're gonna eat asphalt.
Last week I had an idiot come around me doing at least 85 mph on a crowded interstate doing a Superman - chest on tank, feet hanging off of the rear tail lights.
This afternoon another "brilliant" biker came around to pass got right beside me then popped up his nose and revved the engine to about 20,000 rpm - loud as hell.
What's up with these morons? Any of you Rump Rocket Riders know of guys that do this?
Anything I can do other than ignore them?

I wanted to start a thread called "What is the slowest car that ever challenged you". Mine was a Olds Alero. Probably a 15.8 second car down hill (I've rented them). When I first got my car this poor kid floored it 3 times at three lights in a row. I wanted so bad to show him what quick was, but for once I laid off and laughed. I've never had a sport bike challange me in the Vette, but I've had them challenge me in a Mustang.

i enjoy watching them make fools of themselves. It's great to know you could make them eat your dust but don't have to. Besides why risk a your life, $50k car, or a certificate of driving skill from the local LEO just to pizz on an inferior vehicle operated by a moron.

I had a new Dodge dualie trying to race me in my c5! He was crazy. Went flying by me doing what I figured to be 100-110. Where's a cop when you need one? I don't get these guys.
A few months ago, we had 12 crotch rockets slow down to 35mph
across 3 lanes of a highway at 6:30pm and block traffic!

I thought I had seen it all from the crotch rockets until I saw a beater Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra doing zig-zag figure 8's on one of the busiest freeways in Dallas during 5pm rush hour traffic. Twice during their idiotic stunt they almost collided with each other.
They had exited the freeway, same exit as mine. I pulled up along side them all the while thinking those morons were lucky they didn't kill themselves or even worse, someone else. One of the guys barely looked 16 and started yelling at me. I think he got more pi$$ed when I didn't give him the time of day.

I had someone here in S. Calif a few weeks ago that was doing a wheelie at 90mph going by me. I backed off as I was expecting him to come back down badly and splatter himself...but he managed a less than graceful landing, scared himself a little, then took off.

Three crotch-rocket pilots died with-in a month here in Tulsa and it slowed their friends down for about a week or two..
They're too young to really understand. To be honest, when I was 18-22 y/o I didn't either.. I did the same stupid sh#@ ...
I have to agree with the others.. Enjoy the show and help pick up the pieces when you come up on an accident.. sounds like it won't be long..

That's a good one! I have come up with an idea for a reality show.Let's call it "Tragedy or Stupidity?" The shows' producers will do background checks and gather witnesses. They will present a realistic and brutally truthful take on the "tragedy". The point would be that I see many "tragedies" that should be labled "stupidities". Like those morons doing figure 8's in rush hour traffic in post #15. Let's say that one of those idiots f's up and eats a wall. The late night news will report a tragic accident with deaths. The morning newspaper report a "terrible tragedy" with the death of so-and-so. Well, all of the eye witnesses can tell you that it wasn't a tragedy it was a "stupidity". They were killed by their own hand in a brazen act of stupidity. Unfortunately, many times they take innocents with them...
Too macabre for the audience? Or too real for portrayal?
