hrm, here's a story... its not a soccer mom but I think it is equivalently dumb. So I'm takin my buddy out for his first ride today and I'm following a car going ~40 in a 45 close, but not tooo close. The dude brake checks me and is busy staring at me in his rear view. I was far enough back that the brake check didn't even phase me, but I see him staring and waving his arms around and he hits his brakes again. Naturally I flip him off, bc that's the appropriate thing to do in that situation , he sends it right back, while still staring in his mirror. He pulls up to the stop sign and is hanging out of his car cursing at me to get off his ass and all this other bs threatening me the whole bit... I flipped up my visor (feeling a little tough) and said 'why don't you do us both a favor and shut up and get the fuck outta here'.... then the best part, I think he realized I'm a chick, put himself back in his car and drove away. it certainly wasn't bc i scared him away. I love helmets Now, after this I have to wonder, what kind of person thinks its appropriate to brake check a motorcycle... incredible.
