Wild. I assume you saw this in craigslist. If true they are truly pinheads. It also has law suit written all over it for the author beats the crap out of the biker. He threatened him and said he would inflict bodily harm. I 'm not privy to Canadian law, but....

On a bike you don't do stupid things to piss off cagers. Maturity level is evident here.

My son changes lanes frequently on his R1 without any signal other than a somewhat half-assed, low slung hand signal which I doubt anyone sees or understands. Talked to him many times about it to no avail. Interestingly, when I ride in front, I signal with turn sigs, which gives him aclear indication of my intentions. Seems to think if I signal well that's good enough. Can't wait to hear how the helmet exchange went. :clapping: :clapping:

sounds like the driver may also be a motorcyclist. i hope he does the right thing after his anger subsides and just tries to talk some sense to the rider.

 

[dekkerd]

Had to twitter that. He could just take the helmet back to where he found it. Don't stop or slow down, just chuck it out the window.

Dispense your/a kanine's yard mines in the helmet til full, then leave it on the doorstep.

 

[weekend rider]

Do the proper thing thing, phone him and tell him you are returning his helmet, no questions asked.

What is the worst that can happen if he does not shoot you. Make a friend and change a riders attitude and become a more understanding rider and maybe ride together one day or need his help on the road........

No harm No foul

I like this suggestion the best.

OR, as an alternative, turn it in to the RCMP (or local P.D.) and explain what happened. Let THEM deliver it to its rightful owner. :blink:

In my state of residence, what the rider did (and the cager's response) is called Road Rage and is an offense that can be rewarded by a ticket, stupidity not withstanding.

WRONG!

People who have the wrong attitude don't get it adjusted through random acts of kindness. It's like when someone's talking at a movie theater, and you politely ask them to pipe down. They'll tell you to go f*ck yourself. If they had the proper attitude, they wouldn't be creating a disturbance in the first place.

Unless you're going to really teach them a lesson, the best thing to do is blow it off.

I'd be inclined to take the helment back to the rider with an explaination of his poor riding habits etc.

It's true you may not be able to change his attitude but that should not prevent you from doing the right thing.

As much as I think this statement is correct (cynical attitude about people in general), I would go the route of the police, but just ask the police to explain proper behavior to him. I would hope that getting his helmet back just might, maybe, make him pause for a little bit.

Gunny!

Clever answer! Maybe with a constructive note that this is what bad karma to others will get you?

 

[DailyCommuter]

I'd bring it to the mounties. wouldn't it be priceless it be priceless if they were looking for him for him

A very wise solution Mike. :thumbsup:

I think I'd wait a day or two to let the emotions pass, and then either hang the helmet in my garage as a souvenir or chuck it in the trash.
