Cracker today, brainless idiot on a motorbike that overtook me on the GRAVEL between the outside lane and crash barrier

We were doing over the speed limit in SWHMBO's Porsche and at a guess he was doing 90 + - death wish or what ??

Haha you reminded me of a failed attempt at that. I was a passenger here. on the highway come across a car driving under the speed limit in the fast lane side by side with another car. after a minute still side by side and not going any faster other car decides to start braking with no one ahead,so we change lanes they speed up we come back behind they brake, after the third time overtook from the slow lane (we were two car lengths away plenty of space when coming ahead). now they start flashing the lights non stop floored it till 200km/h (120 mph) and continue our chat... to my surprise i see the car flying up on the gravel to overtake, they come to our side and then see the tires violently turn in our direction instead of coming towards us the car spun in circles. luckily no crash we drive off and the other car comes chasing with horns blaring and lights flashing. we pull over to the hard shoulder car comes up, window drops and two women start screaming their heads off how we pushed them off the road then a toddler comes crawling into the front and they tell us how we have no hearts to drive like this when they have a child in the car! an off duty officer saw the whole thing and told the them to F-off before he called social services and take the child away, reported them and suspended the drivers license. 2012 Fuji White 110 Flattened

Well.. tonight I'd had enough...... We record our calls at work and now the switchboard has closed down, all out of hours calls come through to me......

After the initial bit, when the phone starts ringing, skip to 1.25 otherwise you'll be waiting a minute or so.

Think I am beginning to suffer from Zag-itis.
Been thinking about Zagging my 90 and found myself re-searching protection 'stuff' and even bought a can of ACF-50.

Am I infected? Is there a cure?

I'll give you the number of my therapist She can give you a new appreciation of dirt

What the hell is it with tv directors making presenters not talk directly to camera but instead looking at someone that the viewer never sees to one side of the camera

+100! I find myself waving my arms around my head shouting 'I'm over here'!
