Default How disrespectful... Who else has had stuff like this happen to them?

Ive been riding for about 3 months now and I until last night I had considered myslelf to be lucky that I hadnt had any hostile encounters yet. That feeling changed last night when I least expected it.

I was out for my usual late night ride (about 1 in the morning) which I hadnt planned on doing that night but did so because I couldnt sleep and figured a nice little ride would relax me and use up some energy.

The ride was going nice, there were very few people on the road and not a cop in site, just smooth sailing. I made a turn into a familiar neighborhood to get off the main road and stretch a little. Now, imagine this and think about what your first reaction would be.

To paint a picture for you guys better I will describe the setting first. The road itself is a two-way road with no divider and no designated lanes, there are houses on both sides of the street, speed "humps" every ~200 ft or so, and the light isnt that great, The neighborhood itself isnt the greatest either, its no ghetto but its not as nice as my side of town.

Now the situation, I turned down the street and noticed right away that there was a car on the opposite side of the street doing the speed limit and staying on their side, I could also tell by the headlights that it was a 98 and older suburban. I was coming up to the first speed bump and so was he, I slowed to about 25ish and rose off the seat (because i didnt want to rack my nuts), once over the hump i proceeded to sit back down, at that instant the suburban was right next me, when I heard a pop behind me, like plastic breaking.

Note my attention up until then was focused on the bike not the other car, so my first reaction was "****, what broke?" thinking that something had broken when I had sat back down. My attention now was focused on the bike so much that I had forgotten about the suburban. At this point I was freaked out so I pulled over and hopped off, right then I noticed something, that there was somekind of clear substance on my rear fairing. The only problem was that visually I could tell what it was, because of the lighting so with my gloves on I touched it and smelled it, and it reeked of egg.

I FLIPPED, I hopped on my bike flipped a bitch and tore out of there in search of the suv. i went several miles when I had finally given up, I figured that the odds of me finding them are against me and I needed to clean the mess up. So I headed to a nearby gas station and cleaned the egg remnants off, upon doing so I noticed that the shell fragments made chips in my flawless paint when it hit, and it was around here that I lost it. I just wish i couldve caught those kids or at least gotten there plate #, oh well Im sure theyll get theirs.

I guess the question for you guys is who else has had stuff like this happen to them? and did you do anything about it?

Thanks for reading guys!

Thats pretty f*cked up man, kids are so stupid these days . Are you sure it was from the SUV though and not someone hiding on the side of the road or something? I mean c'mon, chances of someone carrying eggs in a car especially at 1 in the morning is pretty low...

But any how good thing you cleaned it up right away . I've seen cars that has been egg'ed and it just RUINED the paint job.

I would find that quite the opposite. Group of kids riding around at 1am with a couple dozen eggs? VERY LIKELY.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate run in. Usually you find quite the opposite, but I guess some people's jealously prevails.

Never happened to me on my bike, but it happened to me in my car. But they'll get theirs someday. I truly believe what goes around comes around.

Every now and then kids in my friends neighborhood knock the mirror off her VW Bug with a bat. She still hasn't figured out who it is.

Yea.. that's fucked up. Around here, if we heard a pop, I'd get off my bike, lay down, and say a last prayer. Be happy that it was just an egg and maybe you're better off not seeing them again. Who know what could of happened if you caught up to them?

I kind of agree with Scarey. Just ignore them, the thing they are looking for is to get a response from you. Pretend it doesn't bother you. Keep your anger on the inside... redirect it towards a workout so you can look like Rainman EK

Around the 4th of July 2000 outside a club a guy was shooting bottle rockets at cars as people were cruising. Three guys went to confront him when he would not stop doing it when asked, then the guy pulled a gun and shot one of em in the leg, one in tha azz and the other in the back.

The guys shot in leg and azz were in COLLEGE, the guy shot in the back was in the MARINES, guy who shot them was a HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT.

Guy shot in back died, u can't reason with everyone and if u approach anyone u better be prepared for the unexpected.

When I was 16 or so I used to come from work every night around 11pm and the main road took me right by the projects. For those of you from Pensacola, Im talking about Cervantes st. I can't count how many times the natives would jump out from the side of the road and try to spook me. That street used to be pretty dark at night and the black kids were near invisible with dark clothes on. They would always **** with me. It got to the point I just avoided that stretch of road.

Same thing. Two bitches in a sentra egged my LS 'bout two years ago. The yolk went into the engine compartment and boiled on my valvecover. Fu*king thing stained the inside of my engine.

Couldn't chase after them 'cause the TWO eggs were all over my windshield. Gawd if I had the bike back then and there were no traffic...

In this case, pennies and screws are your friend.

I had borrowed my boys 04 gixxer6 for a week or so and one day I crusied over to my friends house who also has an 03 ZX 636(cheater bike ) and I parked it out front of his house. He lives in good neighborhood right outside summerlin (vegas).

We had been inside for about an hour or so before we headed out to our road where we ride all the time. As i walk out his front door i notice some white shells of some short right next to the bike. as i get closer it looks more like an egg shell and so it was. some liitle bastards in the neighborhhod had thrown 1 egg at the bike. it hit the left side frame and the crash cage.

Anyways i was too lazy to wash the bike, and it didnt smell bad so i just rode it and gave it back to him (mainly so he can see the damage ). he was mad at me for not washing it and pissed because it got egged.

Bunch of high schoolers were celebrating their graduation by throwing eggs at cars around the neighborhood.

Someone nice enough came to my door and told me about it but it was already mid afternoon so the damage was done.

As others have said; karma. Maybe it's better that you didn't find them. You got to post about it instead of being charged with second degree manslaughter
