With that much explaining it sounds like you screwed up and then tried to confront the guy. I'm sure at least the cops got a good chuckle.

I woulda just let him go, and counted myself thankful I wasn't hurt by his stupidity. Car vs. bike - not for me.

people who need two lanes to make a simple right turn might just be my least favorite people to encounter on the road.

was he a douche? yep no doubt about it.

but were there no less than two opportunities for you to be rid of his old ***? sure were.

1. learn how to ride/drive and make the right turn into the right lane, then hit the throttle and be the f*ck out of the impatient, aggressive cager's way.

2. sitting at the second red light, white-line to the front of the traffic line and leave him annoyed a few cars back.

Can somebody post a condensed version? I could only get about 5 lines down before I couldn't figure out what was going on.

  • Motorcyclist is overly cautious at light for right turn.
  • Car behind hustles him by horn
  • Motorcyclist takes two lanes to turn right
  • Car guy thinks motorcyclist is turning into left lane and tries to get by on right.
  • Motrocyclist guns it to get in front of car guy in the right lane
  • Car guy gets pissed thinks he was cut off
  • Motorcyclist thinks he'll be a smart *** and goes real slow at next light
  • Car guy passes him on right
  • Stupidity on both parts ensues - ending with motorcyclist chasing car guy when he sees it's an "old man" and then being scared when the "old man" in the car confronts him
  • Motorcyclist comes on here and acts like he was a bad ***.

With all respect,I think you're on the way to trouble if you don't change your riding attitude.

It sounds to me like you're fortunate the old man could handle his Beemer as well as he did. In traffic such as you describe is not the place to have a pissin' contest.

OP--You were driving like an @sshat, endangering and antagonizing others. Then, when you saw it was only an 80-year-old man trying to get past, you thought it would be safe to finally speed up and follow him and try to be a bad@ss. You then got scared when the old man stopped and approached you. So you went home w/ your tail between your legs, and called the police.

Wow! Some story.
