Seriously? Cyclists have a right to the road, too, but notice how each cyclist was as far off on the shoulder as they could be to give motorists room. Looked to me like they were being considerate! Nothing they did deserved that douchebag blowing soot all over them while they're busting their asses climbing an obviously steep ascent. Yeah, you said the driver might've been upset (unjustifiably I might add) and that's why he did it. I don't give a shit. It's not right.
And for what it's worth, I'm a diesel driver and a cyclist. IMO, this guy was absolutely, without a doubt an asshole and I hope he one day gets what he deserves.
I myself dont think the road is appropriate for cycling.IMO all roads need safe places for pedestrians to travel,and IMO a typical shoulder doesnt qualify as a safe place.And IMO a cyclist is still a pedestrian,they was deffinatly all the way over,but it wasnt a huge shoulder and I dont know what kind of traffic they created by their presence that day,could have been a long delay created by people slowing down to pass them in a safe manner,and being a steep grade,if that was the case,its all the more harder on trucks with a load....its human nature to get pissed about stuff that frustrates you.The driver was being a total jerk,but he was still just being human.No harm done by the cyclist,or the driver IMO He simply got a good laugh at the cyclist expense,his ager brought it out of him,its very hard to stop anger from affecting our judgment,but its a huge lesson in life to do so.May have been a younger driver in the truck.
Pics or it didn't happen. :mrgreen:

Wow, we are pretty tame over here. :ror:
guy on pirate is wrong
Ricer=any vehicle from the land of rice.The nicest vintage bone stock 240 you can find was born a ricer and will alwats be a ricer.
basically every crotch rocket you see is a ricer,stock or not.
Notice I said IMO.......
Not a ricer,hell its got an extra fuel tank,possibly for fueling the equipment it hauls.
Me either....but it probably refers to the "chicken and rice" restaurants...I've never heard the term chicken friend though :ror:
I liked it better the first way....:ror:LOL! Oops! I edited it.![]()

Here's a picture, what would you do if you came up to something like this with a goose neck behind you that weighs 10 tons in a 1 ton truck?
Have you ever pulled something up (or even down) a steep narrow pass?
I would follow them and pass when I can, but I suspect the cyclists would pull over to let me by for the most part (like they did in the video). But even if they didn't, I would recognize their RIGHT to the roadway and I wouldn't be an immature dick and spray soot on them. I assume you would act differently? Are you justifying the guy's behavior?Here's a picture, what would you do if you came up to something like this with a goose neck behind you that weighs 10 tons in a 1 ton truck?
(this isn't my picture, but i believe its red mountain pass, which can have up to like a 9% grade)
= melt down...Hammer down, son.
Yep.
