I would have just pulled over and caused him to pass. And no, I wouldn't have flipped him off. I don't need any road rage in my life.

Once I get angry it takes me a while to cool off, and I'm out riding to relax. It ain't worth it to me.

+1. My feelings exactly. Well said.

Probably trying to memorize your license plate so he could report you for going over the speed limit.

Well said. I couldn't agree more. Why ruin my day due to an ahole.

If we're both in cars, I usually hit my brakes to let em know, if its a bike I let em pass.

Was he wearing a helmet? Are you sure it was a guy? Maybe it was a really hot chick on a Harley feeling lonely and looking for that "special friend" to hook up with for the weekend....maybe she looked like Heather Locklear and because of the helmet you thought it was a guy....so you just pulled over and she went by thinking......"geez what is it with this guy?...all I wanted to do is have some nice conversation and get laid".

Oh well.....nevermind...
