    While riding in South Dakota at Get on ADV FEST I had an "encounter" with a gentleman in a side by side. The trails where great in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Ran into a bunch of SXS's over the day and never had a problem. Then this guy came along... Road rage, or Trail rage, he had it. Mad at another biker for some reason he swerved at me?? Then yelled at me and had a big fit. What would you do?

      Jake handled it well. People make mistakes, and they're embarrassed later. In the store, it's good to just let small stuff slide. People love being self righteous no matter what.

    Much respect for how you handled this confrontation. You never know what someone is carrying or willing to lose just to hurt you in anger. I always act respectful to angry people in cars/trucks when I’m on my bike to defuse the situation. It’s not worth getting run over or shot, and most people will feel like they are the asshole when they calm down later.

  • @Nerb1
    @Nerb1 Рік тому

    Im old enough to have been in similar situations and deescalating the situation is infinitely more satisfying. I'd probably have gone one step further and approached him at the gas station, apologised that the situation happened and acknowledge that he he got scared when your mate went past... that right... acknowledge that HE got a fright. That works. People just want to know that others understand them. A quick explanation of how the others let you past and you expected the same of him and how venerable we are on bikes against their tanks. I think people learn. People do react like that when they get a fright. Education is key.
    I also think guns makes zero difference (except the consequence of escalation) in this type of situation. If more people learned how to deescalate, there would be less situations to do it for.
    Great video.

    I’m a month away from 66. Out on a nice leisurely country ride on my ‘23 Grom. Came up to a T intersection, turned left onto the main road with speed limit of 60kph. There was a car behind me also turning left. This turn is on a blind hill with solid line markings. This prick decides to pull out and pass me! Forced me off the road and an oncoming car the same thing! A sudden waft of cannabis emanating from the passer.
    I was so enraged I was numb! And this prick was as old as I am Lol!
    I was ready to pull that prick out and bust him up. I might be 66 but a fit survivor of four older brothers and 45 yrs of construction so have no concern about my ability so I punch the throttle…on my Grom…my 125cc Grom….

    I’ve been in a lot of fights. I’ve lost as many as I’ve won. I’m not tough, I had a bad temper and attitude. It’s not usually worth it to fight or threaten. Even if you win. And a good old honest fist fight can turn deadly out of nowhere. On accident. It’s much easier to stay calm, stay true to yourself and try and deescalate.

    I garuntee he was pissed because of the dust from your buddy passing him. An like you said had been dealing with that all weekend, where he's not used to it. Zero excuse to act like a complete ass like that though. I unfortunately run into these types almost everytime I hit my local off road park. And for some reason it's always guys in a brand new SXS. They spend so much on them an some guys try to treat them like a rolls Royce 😂 like dude why buy something for 50k that's meant for off road an then drive it like a grandma an get mad at everyone else for driving theirs like its meant to be. Btw you handled this PERFECTLY. Although after him trying to run you off the road I would of waited until he was out of his machine to confront him.

    I'm impressed with your patience here. I have trouble doing that well with someone yelling at me.

    Definitely a no win situation. Dude said he didn't see him coming. Best thing he could have done was to talk to him at the next stop. Not many adults in the world today.
