I know I'm one of the "old guys" here, but I didn't think I was losing my cognitive skills. Now I have to go back and read the whole thing over again...unless someone comes up with a good explanation as to why I'm so danged confused.

One thing you wrote I'd like to correct, I did not realize the guy was being ultra aggressive until I was at the second light. Had I known I would have let him pass, one of my mistakes was not picking up on this and just letting the guy go by. It happened rather quickly, I know better now.

**** happens, and I wrote down (poorly) my version. I know now to keep everything to myself. I learn quickly, as I learned from the whole experience with the aggressive driver. I learn something everyday. Like I learned about what not to post and when to man up and apologize.

I won't make this mistake again here. Plus this crap is useless anyway, I realize this now.

"It's right on red idiot!" I think to myself...you can make the turn, I don't' care if cars are coming! So I beep at him real quick, but he doesn't seem to notice...friggin jerk.

Then he decides to go, but he took the turn a bit wide so I decide to try and jump in front of him...shoot his bike accelerates faster than my Taurus and I never even get within a car length before he's back in my lane before the next light. I beep at him again, this time I get his attention!

While sitting at the next red light he turns to say something, but I'm out of view over his shoulder...if he could only see how hungry I am!

I beep at him to let him know I mean business...the light turns green and you know what? He doesn't' take right off...he sits there for nearly 3 seconds while the car in front of him gets almost 50 feet ahead of us!

That's all I can take, I mean come on- this is almost like the guy saying he's going to rape my mother! So I gun it, and blow right through him, there's traffic going with us on our left, if I can get on his right I can probably bump him into the other cars and make sure he doesn't' pull that "wait 3 seconds before going BS!".

What the hell? I swear I was going to hit him? How did I miss him? I mean my mirror should have at least clipped his handlebar as I flew by...there shouldn't have been enough room for him, come on there's only two lanes then a granite curb??? Why didn't' he get squeezed into the other cars? Whatever...

Oh so now he's mad at me? I'm hungry jerk, forget about it, it's over...I didn't kill you- not for lack of trying! At least the restaurant is a few hundred yards ahead and I can get that all important roast beef sandwich.

Oh great he turned in to the parking lot...how dare you question what I was doing? DO you know you hesitated? Do you know I'm hungry? Stupid scum bag motorcycle rider, everyone should run one over so that there is no more evil in the world.

Mmmm where's my sandwich?

He should rant about it online...maybe he'll get what's coming to him.
