A little advice..... I've been riding off and on for 38 years. I've learned that there is absolutely one thing that is true when you ride a Bike.
If you're going to ride, enjoy it, and stay alive....... you have to let dumb asses be dumb asses and just move on. Don't let a dumb *** ruin your ride or your life.

Excellent translation. Ride safe.
- 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 ***.

Happens all the time. Stay as far away from cagers as possible. Road rage will get you killed. I'm glad I somewhat have my temper in check.....

If you follow someone into a parking lot in Texas following that kind of incident chances are that you will be staring into the barrel of a sidearm when you confront the person that you followed. Not saying that is good or bad, just sayin'.

Thanks for pointing that out, pric#. You a-holes that love pointing out spelling/grammar errors are insecure and scum. Like I always say, "If playing spelling police is all you've got to make you feel better, then keep it up."

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.
Wow! Some story.
Kinda what I was thinking

I've ridden about 80,000 miles total. I don't really get upset at crap I go through on the road anymore.
I used to get right worked up about getting cut off or people getting too close to me. Sometimes I would yell. And it would take me some time to calm down.
I think because of the much greater risk we face on a motorcycle compared to a cage, we tend to get spooked and take it personally when another driver does something stupid or aggressive.
As I gained more experience, I became better at anticipating and therefore avoiding most bad things. The frequency of finding myself in situations where my blood pressure goes through the roof is lower than it was during my first few years of riding.
You can't stop stupid, though. Things still happen that make me shake my head. Sometimes I need to put on a clean pair of drawers. But I get over it an back to the business of enjoying my ride almost right away.
Getting angry or getting even or dwelling on something for too long will take your focus off keeping yourself safe. Or out of jail. Let your adrenaline die down. Put some distance between you and the other guy. And go back to having fun.
