How to stop riding like an idiot

    I commute to work on my cbr1000rr and everyone else feels slow. I get frustrated extremely quickly by ****ty drivers that go 20 or 30 under the limit which basically means that 50% of my 60km commute I end in the opposite lane overtaking cars. Same thing on the motorway. I then start raging and going way over the speed limit to escape from everyone until there are no cages around me. Some days I can relax and ride at a normal pace when I am not going to work but in most cases I get pissed off by turtle reactions and speed. I don't know if you've seen it but I would compare myself to BaronVonGrumble on YouTube from when he used to commute. I know I am wrong and I will probably hurt myself when my luck runs out but my anger clouds my mind and I end up doing stupid ****. I can't afford to go to a psychologist to control my anger because they're way too expensive for me. I am only an intern worker.

    Sell your motorcycle and buy a bicycle. It will make the roads much safer for everyone including yourself. Just remember "It is better to arrive late than be dead on time.

    No I am not going to sell it, what a ****ty advice. If I could ****ing sell it and get to my work in 1 hour then I would. How the **** am I going to commute 60km on a bicycle? Or get stuck in massive queues for 3 hours. I don't care about my life, I really don't. I don't even care about myself anymore, I used to be obsessed with myself and now I just don't care. Yeah sell your bike, nice iq there buddy m.

    That state of mind is not compatible with long term motorcycle usage.

    Can't get mental help without paying outrageous costs.

    Could probably afford a good few sessions if you sold the bike ;)

    You don't care about your life, what about other road users you're putting in danger? What about your family that might have to look after you? You're not the only one to consider here.

    The above reply to a simple suggestion demonstrates why you should never be allowed to have any mechanical device in your possession and I would urge you most sincerely to attend an anger management course ASAP.
    On second thoughts I think this is a windup from a troll.

    I have also started carrying a spiked baseball bat in my backpack for extremely frustrating moments. I haven't used it but I used it as an intimidation factor.

    Get a Harley, you'll never have to worry about speeding ever again.

    Don't care, I should be put in a mental hospital or executed.

    This isn't the forum for those issues.

    Have you considered buying a GS?

    Honestly as another road user your attitude stinks. Your making light of the fact that your a danger to yourself and others.

    There are two ways to stop driving like an idiot.

    1, accept that you don’t dictate the speed of overall traffic and give yourself time to drive safely to arrive on time and relaxed, and safe.

    2, stop using your bike for the commute and use ot for leisure only.
