Another ignorant cager

BabyRider · 12-28-2006, 11:21 AM

Damn but I hear these too often! A friend of mine was wiped out by another ignorant cager who was......ON A PHONE.

This Biker was in Ohio on a poker run. He was less than 2 miles from check-in and the woman HIT his bike, not just cut him off. The Biker hit the median and went sailing. He ended up with 30 stitches in his gut and 10 in each arm. He was lidless, as is allowed in Ohio and he's lucky he wasn't killed.
My first question to him was, "Who got off their scoot and pulled this ignorant bitch out of her cage, bouncing her face off the median so she could understand the pain?"
This man was 3rd in a pack of 9, so none of that crap, "I didn't see him."

People I'm going to say it yet again, because it MATTERS.
WATCH OUT FOR BIKES!!!!!
They are on every road you travel and once more, that might be ME you send to an early grave.

Sad thing is that too many car and truck drivers forget that we do not own the road.

"On the phone."

Yup...figures! I'm sorry about the accident, B'R! Will your friend be ok?

I've seen the occasional truck driver get his ass handed to him for being stupid.

One of the reasons I refuse to talk on my phone while driving..even with a head set. I either ignore it, or pull over to talk. This is why I have special ring tones assigned to my husband and my brother...I always answer thier calls.

He was very lucky. Had this been a thread about a funeral, it would have had a very different tone. He is back in business and fine, Lulu, thank you for asking.

I make it a pratice to flip off anyone I see driving a cage and on their phone.

Not to appear stupid, but what is a cage?

It's actually illegal here. Unless you have a hands-free setup.

Sorry Rachel, and no question is stupid. A cage is a car and a cager is someone who drives.
I do this all the time, speak Biker and people look at me like I've sprouted a 2nd head. Sory 'bout that!!

It should be illegal everywhere.
The only problem with hands-free setups is they are JUST as distracting as regular phones. Combine that with the normally situationally stupid cagers and you're asking for someone's body bag.
