"odd" doesn't even begin to describe this situation.
Maybe he just wants you to get off his lawn!LOL, some of the comments have been pretty amusing (I'm looking at you ZX600) but I have a sense of humour so it's all good. :lmao: I know this isn't a very serious situation but I just find this guy's behaviour really odd, it's like he has some issue with people who ride or with me in particular. From what I could hear in the tone of his voice it was not friendly and from looking in my mirrors when I pull away this guy seems to be cranky about something. I've checked all my lights and the back of my bike and I don't see anything. I think the old boy is just senile. LOL!
3'some
Every week someone drives through the front window of a Tim Hortons of Dunkin donuts when they hit the gas instead of the brake.
Last week I was riding to work and I was stopped at a red light waiting for it to change and a silver car pulled up behind me and I heard a quick honk like they accidentally tapped the horn. I looked around and the car behind me was the only car around. I didn't think much of it. The light changed and I rode away and looked in my rearview mirror just to see who it was and it was an older gentleman, probably in his 60's with who I am assuming is his wife. They turn at the next street and that's the end of it.
Today I am stopped at the same light and a dark Honda pulls up beside me in the left turning lane, a silver car pulls up behind me and the right hand lane next to me is empty. I hear a honk and look at the Honda to the left and the driver is looking straight ahead so I don't think it's the Honda. Then I hear someone shouting something and I'm pretty sure I heard the word "motorcycle" so I look over again at the Honda and the driver is looking around too and looks at the car behind me. I turn around and look back but can't see what the driver is doing. The light changes and I ride away and I look in my rearview mirror and it's the same old guy and his wife from last week.
This guy must be old and senile and/or has had a bad experience with a motorcyclist. I thought back to both times and wondered if I maybe cut him off or didn't signal a lane change but I don't recall doing anything that would piss someone off. Both times I was stopped at the light waiting for it to change so I wasn't moving so I don't know what this guy's problem is? I wanted to get off my bike and calmly ask him if there was a problem but I didn't think it was worth it but I was also worried that this guy might actually be crazy and would hit my bike and take off if the light changed. I'm assuming I'll see this guy again since I think he's driving his wife to work in the morning. Both times this has happened it's been around 7:20am. I've only been riding for two seasons so I'm a new rider on a 250 Ninja and I don't ride aggressively. I have no idea what this guy's problem is and it's making me paranoid because I have a bright neon green jacket so I'm easily identifiable and the guy can see me well in advance if he's coming up behind me.
He's probably saying "a 250 is not real MOTORCYCLE" either go vespa or 600, get off the road!
Because heez a skeeled rider in the tweesties.How does he have a following...
