Default coming back on road

coming back from the beach. stop and go traffic. Im looking out across the corn field totally flaking out and I tap this guy's bumper in front of me and my RKC leaves a small dent and scratch. (no damage to the bike.)

He stops, gets out, po'd, and looks at me all the way to the back of his car.

He looks at me, looks back at his bumber again, looks back at me a 2nd time and says,...

"uh,.....well,.....ok, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it." Close one.

Default RE: hit a car today....

Sounds like a pretty shotty thing to do man. You hit him, then try to act like it wasn't your fault? ...or that you're such a badazz that he should just back down and forget that YOU DENTED HIS RIDE? I hate to say it but I'm as much of a car guy as I am a biker and if someone on a bike hit my car, you can be darn sure there's gonna at least be an apology from the punk or someone's gonna be picking up their bike off it's side.

NOTE: SINCE "SOMEONE ELSE" DECIDED TO EDIT THEIR POST (AND TITLE) TO TRY AND SANITIZE IT FROM ALL THE NEGATIVE RESPONSES HE WAS RECEIVING, I FEEL IT WOULD BE APPROPRATE TO REPOST HIS "ORIGINAL" TEXT. I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE AN A**HOLE FOR ANYONE... ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR POST TO BACK OUT OF LOOKING LIKE ONE.

He stops, gets out, po'd, and looks at me all the way to the back of his car.

I sit firm, stare right back at him, arms crossed, sleeves rolled up, black glasses, weeks worth of facial growth, and don't say a word. No apologies,... nothing.

He looks at me, looks back at his dented and scratched bumper, looks back at me (Im still sitting there like a statue not saying a word and just staring at him.) looks back at his bumber again, looks back at me a 2nd time and says,...

Yeah ... thanks for giving us Harley riders a bad name. Way to go ...

I want to know what you'd do if an even more 'badass' guy dents your bike and sits there without saying a word ...

Hell, if he said that, you should've really had some fun. Screamed "Exit, stage left ev-en!" like Snaglepuss or do the Scoobie Doo laugh as you motored off.

You are lucky. When he went back to the car it was to get his 357 and his cell. Better kiss your *** cause he decided it wasn't worth getting blood on his cage.
