That's really a crazy tale. I know a lot of stuff happens out there and there's never a good solution to most. I don't think I would have played the game you did though. Maybe entice him to pull over some how...seeing he followed you off the highway...and now it would be your call on what you wanted to do. I hate to call 911 for something like that, you know he will say it never happened.
Also, 28 years old is not a kid.

There's a lot of bravado talk scattered among the replies which is to be expected on forums. Most would never think about doing in real life what they post here. The few who would are in for a surprise eventually.

The fact that he gunned it..then slowed down, then gunned it, then slowed down, then gunned it, then slowed down...it wasn't due to his shirt. He was challenging you right then and there...he already targeted you.
Your choice of dealing with him, or not..should have been made soon as you saw that challenge.

I would not fault anything you did. However, I would hopefully not get into a punching, kicking, or any kind of physical contact with body or bike at speed on a motorcycle. Loss of bike control comes quickly and easily.
I think the post by Crazy sums it up best. Mentally unbalanced people can not be dealt with successfully unless you are a psychiatrist or comfortable with killing someone. And even then success is not guaranteed.

Well being i just saw the Borne Legacy i would have pulled up next to him and unloaded a few rounds his way... But that's just me.... You know if you post crybaby stuff like this every time some a$$-clown try's to kill you out there you will get to 1000 post count in a very short time...

"...Since at 25 I bought a House, a new bike off the showroom floor with two to kids that are well fed and in good health."
You're fortunate, most dealers only include a modest discount for parts, accessories and clothing with your purchase.
Previous posters have said it best, chalk it up and move on.

you could of reached over and stood on his brake pedal..fliped the off switch,grabbed the brake lever,you had 3-400lbs on his bike, could of easily kicked him into the next lane. or just let the idiot go, sounds like a kid on his first, or borrowed/stolen bike. i would of ran him off the road, but i never claimed to be nice.

Well he did try to kill you twice. At a minimum I'd a memorized mr knuckleheads plate number, see if one of my buds would run it for me. 90 days later who knows.
