Why do guys with Crotch rockets flip me off?

Today i had 3 guys, 2 with suzukis's and one with a yamaha, flip me off for no damn reason! Two of them were at 2 different stop lights and one was on a road while he passed me the other way. I was driving perfectly fine i didnt cut them off or anything if i did i would know why they did this. Im just wondering if guys with bikes just dont like guys with modded cars? I have no idea

I'm a guy with a modded car and I own a GSXR, this has never happened to me. Maybe you pissed someone off

Most people with crotch rockets are morons.

Its rare I see the responsible riders, and I always make for them when I do.

When I see dicks heads weaving through traffic at 140mph...and not even wearing proper riding gear (like not even a jacket...their shirt is blowing up showing skin.) I can't help but hope they fucking wreck.

You want to drive like that, take it a track.

it has nothing to do with whether or not you drive a modded car. i have a modded car and a bike. they were probably flipping you off because they knew you.

I've also been flipped off by Harley guys for no reason. Maybe because I passed them on the right because they were driving fucking 45 miles an hour in the fast lane and wouldnt move over??

it could be possible that you were following them to closely?

That is actually a very scary feeling, knowing that you're on a crotch rocket and having a car right behind you.
I actually know of people who carry things in their pocket for situations like that. (i.e. a small rock or something) When cars are too close, they actually take the rock out and just throw it behind them, and when you're going 70+ mph, you know it's going to leave a mark on your car.

I don't agree w/ what they do, but sometimes you gotta protect yourself.

i HATE crotch riders that tailgate me, and then ride close to one of the lines so i can barely see them in my rearview, its like they arent even there but they are like 2ft from my bumper, jerkoffs!

They didnt flip you off, stupid. They point to where they are going to turn. I've been watching people that ride bikes point when they are going to turn. Lol.

My friend and I thought they were pointing at other riders.

Id love to give them a taste of my bumper if they did that.

This is probably what happened. I ride a bike and see this, but not enough. Done correctly it very clearly indicates your intention to change lanes. You would be surprised at how many mornons igonre you when you are on a bike.

Tailgaters suck, period. Throwing things at cars is freakin stupid though. Tail gaters may be road ragers and they can f you up very easily.

Agreed. I don't necessarily want them to get hurt but if they do I won't feel sorry for them at all. Driving a bike is dangerous enough without being a jackass.

I only flip someone off when they come close to sideswiping me on the road.

Sounds more likely they were indicating their next move rather than flipping you off..
