Agreed. And if he feels he was slighted by a MC rider then I can only imagine he will take it out on a MC rider. Only problem is it will be another MC rider and not the OP. Why do we feel the need to get back at these people? In the long run the cagers always win. I'm not saying we need to sit back and take the crap but doing what the OP did will possibly cause the cager to ramp it up a notch next time.

I've had that happen more than once where a 4-wheeler crowds into my space to get around me at a pump, or parking lot, or other parking area. My first reaction is anger, then quickly followed by a deep sigh of relief he didn't hit me and cause harm to my bike or ME! I have never played Clint Eastwood and take charge. I always finish my business, andthen speed away, hopefully the abuser doesn't follow. I am no match against an idiot in a 3000lb vehicle. And if I grabbed a cop and explained the incident then demanded he take action against the lane offender, he probably would just laugh at me. We bikers are really screwed against the agressive 4 wheeler, and best AVOID them, and once they are identified, STAY AWAY from them. That's how I have stayed alive to ride again. Remember, Clint Eastwood is an actor, not real life.

I think If I had the pressence of mind, I'd have given him a nice long blast on my air horn as he was passing. He'd have crapped his pants, and I'd have had a laugh instead of being PO'd. Or if I didn't get my ignition on in time, I might walk up and politly tell him that I would appreciate the same respect he we like if he were in his truck and an 18 wheeler tried that *****. Most of the time, I think they have no clue, and aren't being mallicious, just HUTAS (Head up their *** syndrome) (AKA Asshat)
