Rice burner trying to race me on d freeway

hhmmm ok i was on my way home while i was on the freeway some kid on on a rice burner tried to tailgate me and keep on rubbing their engine and following me even if i chenged lane couple of times    hmmm just got my bike(600rr) last week in i just been riding it as a daily commut but  this is not the first time this happened since last week   i dont know why people keep fu@##@% with me on the freeway doesnt mean i ride a sportbike i wanna race i asked my buddies for suggestions wut to do he said kick the shi%#$ out of their door or if a cant exit the freeway and hop back on after the car passes but i cant do that everytime some1 tries to do that shi@$&#*$  i exit and hop back on   anybody have some experience like i have and any suggestion??  

rubbing their engine...  ??  

I gradually slow down....  If they want to go faster, let them go by.  If they slow down and keep doing the same crap, then I leave them like they are stopped.  Slow back to the speed I was cruising at, and continue on my way.  If it is a 3 or more lane highway, you can put other vehicles between you and the dork in the car....  That should put an end to it.

Wow , quite a way with words there. By "rice burner" you mean an import car that has been "done-up Asian style" ? I don't know how you could let a car bother you,just hit the gas and leave his slow a$$ in the dust! I love to menace cars.Yes it's crazy but such is life! I live for today and I'd rather die crazy than live as a coward!  

I DEFINATELY wouldn't kick his door IF all he is doing is rubbing his engine, or even if he starts revving it  If they want to race just slow down, and if possible (ie no/few other cars on the road) slow WAAAY down.  Then when they slow way down, accelerate and lose 'em.  

That kind of reminds me about what they told me to do in the MSF course if you see a stray dog, slow down so the dog (or rice burner) changes their "line of attack", and then "gun" it and leave them in the dust. LOL!!!

Another good way to lose them, if you're in town, at a stop light just filter up to the front of traffic light.  They can't do that, will get stuck behind cars, probably get annoyed/pissed, it will be funny, and hopefully they won't be able to weave their way up through traffic.  

Dude; your on a front line sport bike for crist sake. Drop the hammer and leave his dumb ass in your dust.

And why is it always the kids with a big Indy car wing and a silencer the size of a water heater?  

I enjoy when they do this crap to me because you can (just like everyone said) blow em out on your bike but anyway if you dont wanna do that, carry quarters in your pocket. Ever see what a quarter can do to a paintjob or windshield at 80+ mph???? Its quite impressive.  

Well you can lane split...if he tries to do the same thing he'll get more than he bargained for  

Well remember now that lane splitting isn't legal everywhere.  You could still probably get away with it though, be mindful about it.  The quarters idea is a funny one.  Just don't pay much attention to them stupid tuner kids.  Remember that only if they put about 200,000 bucks into their car they will never match your acceleration.  Just blow their doors off, and make'em look stupid.  

Just the other day I was entering the freeway.  I checked the flow of traffic and had 5 mph over the limit would give me easy access.  Once I got on a Neon SRT-4 accelerated right up on my rear.  But like everyone else mentioned,  I just dropped a gear and blew him away.  Half mile later he realized it was a waste of gas and time to try to catch me.  I dropped back to my usual 10 mph over the limit and never saw him again.  

i wonder what part of the country you're in. for as much as the exotics and tuners are here, for some reason they dont mess with sportbikes here. the other night i was on the highway and saw a ferrari (new model, dont know the series) coming up from behind. i changed lanes to allow him to pass, and he did so real slow. so i "rubbed" my engine and he just shook his head. i think the cars here have a little more respect and understanding of what bikes can do. dont find to many people wanting to play. except for bus drivers, they love to take off at the stop light.  

you could always ignore them......

kicking the door will get you run over, slowing down could solve the problem.  if you;ve got a ways to go there is a problem with accelerating.  yeah you can out accelerate them to 150 but they can hit 150 eventually.  

Nice.
Even better than quarters (but a little more expensive) is golf balls. A lot of times if you drop them just right, they will bounce off the asphalt and get trapped under the car that is tailgating you, bouncing all around underneath and beating the crap out of the floorboard. I hear that it sounds very troublesome.
Another alternative (I wouldn't do this on the freeway, but it's happened before on a two-lane) is to slow to a complete stop in the middle of the road. Put the kickstand down, then walk back there and 'introduce yourself'. Chances are that he will drive around you once he sees you get off the bike. But if you walk up to his window and he is stupid enough to roll it down, you can pull him out of it.
But if I were you, I would just drop a gear and light him up.  

Haha casey...I like to solve problems with violence too especially when they have it coming to them

I really like that idea , never thought of it before.

I'm generally very calm. But I ALWAYS, without fail, take aversion to people who try to kill me while I'm on my motorcycle. It sets me off. To me, tailgating me while on the bike is no different than brandishing a weapon at me. There is an immediate problem, that requires an immediate solution. So, if my life is threatened, and I have to jerk someone out of their F250 extended cab and teach them the error of their ways, with their wife and kids screaming in the background for me to stop, stop, please stop, please just leave us alone..... well, how does it go? 'Don't start nothin' and there won't BE nothin' ?
It's good to know that in this age of demasculinization (I made that word up, do you like it?) that there are at least a few men who still appreciate the long-lost art of giving (and receiving) a good, ol' fashioned East Texas country a$$-whooping.
Carry on, Spyke!
