What grinds your gears?

First commute on the bike today, and I have to add "Lads who drive up your arse and beep at you because you won't overtake a tractor on a blind corner" to the list. More evidence that the L tabard if anything actually makes people have less time for you.
EDIT: Just emptied the helmet cam, here's the relevant bits. Beeped first so I'd pass a tractor on a white line, with a blind bend coming, and an approaching car (no thanks, I'd like to go home alive today). Then blasted past after a roundabout. Genius hey.

The Gardai love video clips like this, especially if they can read the license plate. Then they will pay him a little visit.

...when the handlebar gear cables on my Vespa stretch, that's pretty much a guarantee of my gears grinding............
Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

On the way home from the spin on Sunday myself and Zubair moved up the outside of some stationary traffic and some dope shouts at us "****ing bikes...." Traffic moved on and we were right in front of him. The spa took the left land on a roundabout to try take the roundabout faster than us, pass the 2 exits his lane was for and then try cut in front of us on our exit..... Complete dope! That kinda **** does my head in.
Despite his best efforts he didn't get around us on the roundabout, we made sure of that 0 -

Ok, nobody's mentioned it yet, I'll take one for the team Cyclists! specially when they ride in groups, and two abreast, slowing everything down. Its not that I cant overtake the fúckers, its the fact that they cause a tail back of cars and coaches,which can prove difficult to overtake. I'm talking the Sally Gap type of area. Oh and their scowly faces, not one of them looks like they're enjoying themselves. 0
