Moto on Moto Angst

"You should know better, your a motorcyclist" :wow -That was the Suzuki rider told me at the light on Hamilton after exiting 880 north in Campbell.

She said that I cut her off. Really? I said I did not know that I did that, I looked right at her signaled and moved into a reasonably sized space in front of her to exit 880. I said I was sorry at the light, but I don't know how that could be cut her off. Maybe the problem happened in another lane, but I don't think so. Earlier I was in the fast lane and I was in the lead and I thought she was in the exit lane the whole time since she got on the freeway a mile back from Hamilton. I was checking on her where she was.

Before she told me this, she passed me right as I was about to split at the exit - A bold, possibly ragey move. Then she did not leave me much space to split up to the front.

Anyway, life goes on.

Maybe your zero was running low on coal powered electricity causing an unexpected slowdown and she had some place to be?

I did not know that I did that.
I don't know how I could be cutter her off.
I thought she was in the exit lane.

And how many times on BARF do we read threads about paying attention? Sounds like she was on her game and you weren't - "You should know better, your a motorcyclist" - if a woman takes the time to communicate this to you it's a gift and you should listen. We need more lady riders with moxie out there. Looks like you found one.

I like stories of encounters with motorbike gurls. Moar pleez.

Spend less time huffing your own farts and maybe you'll see other riders better.

When in doubt, wheelie out.

I was actually going a lot faster and she was in the slow/on-ramp lane

I could of made a error that I am unaware of, but a road rage move in retaliation is not cool either. Non-intentional vs intentional.

Maybe your idea of "reasonably sized space" and hers differ. All you know for sure is that SHE felt you were too close.

I witnessed a cyclist panic and lock the front brake of her bicycle and go down hard when she thought a car was going to pull out in front of her. The car was not even close; her inexperience led to an over reaction.

I'm glad everything ended ok.
