fun ride home
came up to a red light and got in the right turn lane. before my foot got off the peg the light turned green so I started to turn right. The guy across the intersection in the left hand turn lane was in a big hurry and tried to beat everyone. I hit the brakes to keep from being hit, well he did to and had all the intersection blocked. The guy never waved sorry or nothing just looked at me like I was wrong. So I take off with this guy behind me its a 45 mph zone so I'm doing 35 figure if he is in that big of a hurry he can wait. I go to turn left down a road and figure he would go straight, no he is turning left also and is trying beat me to the street. when I turn he is in the oncoming lane so I speed up, well then he tries to pass me on the right side between me and the curb. So I drift over and almost make him hit the curb and a mail box. Well he finally passes me, at this time I'm only doing 30mph. I know I may have done a couple stupid things like not let him pass me twice illegally but the best part, he lives down the road from me and he rides a street glide. he dont know were I live but I know were he does.

Most people know right, wrong, and dead wrong.
We (as a group) understand the phrase dead right.
Next time you encounter that crap, just let the person go.
We would rather you vent here, than get yourself hurt or worse.
Glad you made it home.

Even though I know where the OP is coming from, I have to agree with what you (Gnip) said.

Yeh it made me mad but when you allmost get taken out buy a fellow rider in a car that is what really does it. If he would have waved like sorry it would be cool, but to burn me a look for his wrong turn.

Fellow Harley Riders
I was seriously cut off and almost smashed by a guy in a pickup truck with a huge Harley bar and shield on the back window. He was sporting a big sh*t eating grin as he did it. I think he was drunk...I should have gotten the tag no and reported him as a DUI.

You would think a fellow rider would show a little respect. I have some bad road rage but whenever I am close to a fellow rider I do whatever I can to give them room.

just get the f*ck away from people like that.
don't play the fast and the furious while you're on the bike. there's no such thing as a fender bender or trading paint when you're on two wheels. but you know that already.
just get home safe and if it's still eating at you an hour later, walk down the block, knock on his door and try to explain to him just what he did.
maybe he'll be apologetic and offer a reason (had to **** REALLY bad)
maybe he wont, then bloody his nose and go home happy.
