Default A BMW motorcycle knicked the side of my TT yesterday in traffic ...

405 North bumper-to-bumper traffic because of an accident ... I see a BMW motorcycle coming up in between the lanes, he decides to go to the next lane and makes the lane change behind me. In the process one of his "briefcase" storage compartments knicks the right side of the rear well. It wasn't a big hit, but the ****er didn't even stop to say sorry. Traffic wasn't even moving either. I buffed out the black plastic residue from the rear side of the wheel well when I got to work. Next BMW motorcycle I see is GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!

Default hehe... ooops... I guess that was a bad time to open the door...

But seriously, don't f*ck with them until after they've gotten off the bike, you could kill someone that way.

The BMW's have the dual "briefcase" compartments on both sides of the bike. Honda's do not - not the ones I've seen.

And I always move to the other side of the lane when I see a bike approaching in traffic.

Default As a TT owner and a motorcyclist, I can understand your ...

anger at what happened. However, making a statement that the next BMW motorcycle you see is GOING DOWN is absolutely inexcusable. Even if you were to find the one that hit you and not a totally innocent rider out enjoying his bike,do you really want to kill him? I think we all experience "road rage" with all the stupidity out on the roads (I know I do), but you REALLY need to calm down with a statement like that. And please don't say you were kidding. It doesn't sound like it.
