Well ..... two wrongs do not make it right.. Sure.... it does fell good punching the other guy. But in the end you pay more than the first guy who did you wrong. But a smart biker, leave your anger at home and enjoy the ride. Don't make riding a bike as a liability.

I know, I am a minority here.

Hitting a senior is NOT good news. I guess he'll be spending time in anger management!

I would take that if they put the driver back into driving school. Something has to put a permanent reminder to these drivers to look good both ways before they pull out, maybe a crooked nose would help.

As I was told one time when I was much younger, "Ain`t no Glory in Whippin' an Old Guy". Course since I`m 60, I don`t consider 67 that old. Just last year I chased a guy down that had flipped me off and told him I was gonna take that middle finger and break if off. The guy apologized. Attitudes don`t change that much as you get older, you just learn not to act on them all the time. Years ago I would have just broke it off without warning him first.

when a young guy beats an old man there isnt much to brag about, but if an old guy beats a young man there's alot to be embarrassed about (for the young one that is). I'm hot tempered also, and can't say exactly what I'd do until it happens, I just hope my chin strap gets stuck!

You make it sound so horrible. The guy ran a stop sign with his 6000lb cage and tried to take out Mr. Jones and his wife. Perhaps this will be the wake up call for the 67yr old man. "PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD OR YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT HOME!"

Sorry but some people just need a smack, regardless of age. Act like an ***, get treated like an ***.

What kind of a coward punches a 67 year old man?

Hope his goes to jail for a long time.

Minority? More like a sheep. All this "let it ride" chit is rediculous. These inattentive cagers are not afraid of the law and certainly don't give a chit about the well being of you or your family. If more people took these "life threatening" encroachments seriously (i.e. follow the bastard home and bring the issue to his face) I think we would have far fewer cage vs. bike incidents. JMFUO

You have to understand also that some of those Grey Hairs are on some pretty heavy medications and they are doing their best. Something to keep in mind when you are out there riding.
