Ivan said he was gonna call when it was done...

saw my lil red POS, the usual showroom suspects...

0h, and some high maintenance pregnant dog who can't park her CLS in the real stalls hog up the ENTIRE ROW of moto stalls, so she and her man could check out the black 999s

 

[eltristo]

Yeah, that was quite a treat.

I wonder what those dude who all rolled in right after were thinking? 

I think I'd have parked right by the driver's side door

After the incident that happened to me Sat. afternoon I think I would have kicked the driver's door.

I don't often go for these type of posts as they usually devolve into juvenile ranting but .......... I was coming down the Pali Sat. afternoon and because traffic was a little heavier than usual there was no sport to be had. So, instead of going straight through the light, I slid over to the left turn lanes going to Kaneohe where I could at least catch a short H3 run.  Mind you I was being a good boy and was just easing to a stop when a late model black Lexus ES300 zoomed past me and cut in front of me, no, more accurately described as, dove in front of me. Without any turn signals going, just brake lights. Whoa! WTF!  I didn't have to pull a stoppie but while it did require a pretty good yank on the front brake I still had just enough time to position myself behind his left outer mirror. No hand wave from inside the car or even a hand wave out a window as if to say "Hey, sorry about that but thanks for letting me in" -- Nope. Nothing. I could see that it was an older Chinese man at the wheel. -- Finally caught his glance in the side mirror where upon I gave him the middle finger salute. (I had contemplated something a little more direct but was tempering myself) -- Did he frown or show any remorse? Nope. Did he give the finger back? Nope. .... He did something worse...... He started laughing...... OK, that tore it.  The light changed right about then.

We all took the left turn towards the golf course with me delaying my upshifts just a little.  The guy starts changing lanes pushing the car on his left over. Again no turn signals. I'm sure the guy on the left side was going WTF and they bobbled back and forth until the guy on the left just plain braked to allow the Lexus in.  I suppose better judgment got the best of me & I moved off to the KMCB onramp. If there ever was one of those moments where you feel like stalking the guy that was it

I'd have punched that make the beast with two backser's mirror out.

At the bare minimum!  I have put a few boot sized dents in door panels before, and this situation sounds like it called for just that.

I "accidently" broke out a drivers side window on a jacka$$ who did the same thing to me.  It was back in the 90's when gloves still had metal studs in the palms.  I meant to smack his window pretty hard, but ended up breaking it.  Im just glad I had a dark visor on because I wasnt sure whose eyes were bigger at that point!

kinda makes you want to mount a ball peen hammer on the bike someplace.


I never use mine anymore, anyway

Can you fab up a bracket for that?

[teddy037.2]

Can you fab up a bracket for that?

i'm sure I could. but a welder w/a pipe bender could probably do one quicker

[teddy037.2]

saw the S2R dark again... why I haven't left a note on that bike yet is beyond me

[DRKWNG]

I used to leave notes on just about ever Duc, and sometimes Daytona, I saw.  Rarely heard anything back from the folks though, either on the phone or on here.
