Today i almost got killed. Had a dude try to cut me off on the free way 405 north bound at the warner on ramp arround 8:35 am 11-2-06...He tryed to ram me...No Joke doing 75 with morning trafic... If I did not move and come in to another cars way (glad he saw me and moved over) I would not be here. This is my mission: I demand an appology and explination of why this dude tryed to kill me today..I swear if i thought I had done something to him for any reason i would have not poasted this thread. His licence plate number is CA 5GDG447. He drives a 99ish mustang matalic gray.I have a picture of the back of his car... There are many programs on the net that can find people by licence plate number.. Im a computer tech, I know. I will find him....:nono: I am also fialling a report with the highway patrol this afternoon, because he did not kill me there is not much they can do. But thats ok, Ill find him my self, As an avid rider there is no reason that some one should deliberetly run us off the road. I can even shake my head at thoes cell phone drivers and think to my self, what a dumb a$$..But to do it intentinal is unforgivable....:icon_burn

When you report it to the highway patrol....make it clear that this dude intentionally tried to hit you. Hopefully they'll take it seriously and not just brush it off thinking no crime / no foul.
You did the right thing just getting the plate.....a bike isn't going to win vs the weight of a car if you decided to chase 'em.
Good luck - hope they (you) get him.

Wow... remind me to never owe cronicdrummer money!! Seriously, don't do anything that will get you into trouble. He'll win. I had someone cut me off, almost hit me, and then flipped me off!! Luckily, my age has tempered my temper and I was thankful that the MSF course taught me to give a bigger buffer for idiots like these. Good luck with whatever you decide to do to him.:stirpot:

I think you should find him, and knock on his door and punch him right in the nose. Then walk away. Make sure no one see's you. Your word against his. Someone needs to teach this dumba## a lesson. Might as well be u. :nono:

I was driving toward my house one night after visiting my parents. The road was a six lane side street, three going east and three going west. A guy in a yellow 4X4 Dodge Ram with a lift kit was in the far left lane. I was in the middle lane. At the last minute he decided he needed to make a right hand turn into the gas station. I barely got stopped before I smooched the rear quarter panel of his truck. I followed him into the gas station, circled around the front of his truck when he stopped at the pump, kicked his door shut when he started to get out and suggested a few new positions he could try with some domesticated farm animals. Being 6'-6" and considering I could stand flat footed and look him in the eye in his big a$$ 4-wheel drive Dodge, the POS wet-back apologized. I'm normally a easy-going, non-violent person, and had I been in my car I probably would have just honked the horn and flipped him off. But considering the fact I was on the X and would have ended up under his truck had I been a split-second faster, I felt I had a justifiable rage.

Wow, What a bunch of bad vibes on the west coast. I guess I should be glad to be living in such a small place. We have the bad encounters here as well. But most of the time it's just dodge'n the Deer, Bear, Turkey, Dogs. I would hold a bit of a crudge if someone ran me off the road though. :icon_pist :D

At this point the best thing you can do is let the police handle it. I understand your anger, but you have now gone "public" threatening retaliation.
In the future don't post your intentions, this comes across as premeditation and you won't have a "leg to stand on" (criminally or civilly).
Another thought might be to visit his vehicle "anonymously" extract your revenge and send him a letter after the fact (with no identifiers of course).
In today’s legal climate it just does not pay to go after someone after the fact. Now in the act you can claim rage, passion etc. and maybe come out of the legal system unscathed!

Mark you make a great point. Once a thought is out there, it's hard to make someone understand what it really means. Cops have to do what they are trained to do and sometimes it is to the detriment of victims!

Don't ask me how I know and don't ask me my opinion of cops, either....

Good luck, Cronicdrummer, and remember that what you put out there will come back somehow. This clown will have a death in the family or some other tragedy that is not related but will impact him somehow.

I used to live in Northern California and noticed the drivers out there can be...well..a nusance. For all the beauty of the state, there are those that muck it up. Hopefully the Mustang MF will keep off Highway 1.

Cronicdrummer,
I know how u feel, on two seperate occassions in myrtle beach I had very bad experiences, 1st A drunken (doctor) golfer on his way to his room decided he was in the wrong lane at a stop light and eventhough he could not see the 100 + bikes behind him, decided to back up and change lanes. Of course my hubby and I had to be the 1st ones behind him. Well hubby's legs are a little longer and he got out of the way, needless to say my front fender was bent into the tire, but I kept it up. The guy just drove off, what does hubby do, chase him down, while leaving me sitting at the stop light not able to move, luckily some of the nice biker dudes behind me pulled out my fender and I was able to track them down. Yeah, at a gas station, my 6'2 220 hero, ha, at the mans window banging and using lots of colorful words and threatening things I've never heard him say. Well, after calming him down the police arrived and did their thing and took control of the golfers person and his vehicle, left his buddies standing alone at the station, and left me with the report and my dented, scratched fender. oh, hubby got a stern talking to by the cops too, cashier said she thought he was gonna kill the guy. Anyway, the doctor golfer fixed my bike plus some, and lost his license.
The second time not so lucky, two years later a crazy guy driving a small blue car decided he would pass the car in front of him by spliting the lane it was in and the one I was in beside him. Needless to say he was about a mm from my floorboard, this was my new X, He stopped ahead of us at a stop light and I let a few colorful words fly. Hubby was quiet for a change, that is until we all took off and the ass slammed on brakes infront of him. Well now, he took off again and hubby gave chase, me yelling a hubby to quit before the guy killed him. After two or three times with the guy attempting to side swipe him hubby decided to pull over and call the cops. We gave him the NC tag, but never heard another word. I guess he got his one day, things have a way of working out. Whew tired of typing now. Luckily, those are the only two bad experiences I've ever had and hopefully will ever have. So just let it go and enjoy your new ride, and definately keep the buffer zone as wide as you can. Ride safe, Oh yeah I work in law enforcement, and your mustang guy will get his one day, lots of motorcycle cops out there tooo!!
Ride Safe

I had a similiar experience on the freeway where the on ramp becomes a lane for three lanes of traffic. I was in the right hand lane which became the middle lane at this point and this guy comes up the on ramp and thiks he has to get over immediately and comes into my lane, I honk and he keeps coming as I am beside his drivers door now, so I kick him in the drivers door and the guy jumps and almost lost in the ditch as he was so startled by me being there.

And remember im not a vigilanty. Not out to hurt this dude just. Want to get an answer for my book."Why do cage drivers drive like morons?" I took it to the chp and will let them deal with it. But, I would love to sit down with him and just get an understanding of why some people just hate riders. Was it because I can go through trafic, or that i have better gass milage, or is it because I ride an X not an hd. Yes id like to kick his a$$. But whats the point, he doesn't bolt on to my bike, nor is he chrome, and he would probably get me bad gass milage. Point is I love to ride and will not let some sob stop me from enjoying my self. By the way its 85 here in OC California...
