Ok, here comes the rant. Cover your eyes kids I'm telling you now there's going to be some colourful language. So was riding the roadie today around a small 30km circuit that i do frequently when i heard squeeling tyres and limiter bashing up ahead. Focusing more on keeping my head down while climbing the mother of all hills I saw out the corner of my eye three cars come around the corner ahead of me, two jacked up utes and a small car full of girls behind them. The first car passed only yelling a couple of insults, the second car however intentionally swerved onto the wrong side of the road, forcing me onto the gravel and consequently into the drain on the side of the road to avoid being hit. By the time i turned to check for plates the cars were long gone, so I had only a vague description of the cars including stickers on the side of the trays of one of the utes and a suspicion of the fuckheads (who by consequence live on the same street as me) who would of done it. After this I rode straight home instead of the route i intended to ride, and sure enough coming up the hill right before my house who happens to drive past but the same two utes which i instantly recognized from the stickers, confirming that it was exactly who i thought it was. After this i cautiously drove past their house, knowing they had pulled a knife on a mate in the past when he confronted them, to try get some number plates, without success. When i got back home I rang the police and filed a report including names, descriptions of the cars and an address. This was when i was informed by the officer on the phone that even if i did have number plates of all the cars there would be nothing they could do because the drivers would just deny it.
So after all that I'm sitting here wondering what i can do? My first thought is a bar mounted camera or such, does anyone else ride with one of these on the roadie? Or does anyone else have any ideas?
