I just let it go, too distracting to get mad about it. More often than not it seems to be an honest mistake on their part.

I try real hard to let it go because anything I do represents all bikers and our rap deserved or not is not to good, so I try to improve it.

I get around them and blow their doors off while passing them.

Get pissed then let it ride, but I can be provoked into action altho it takes a lot...
ORIGINAL: harley50

When someone in a car cuts you off in traffic how do you react? I.E. Do you flip them off ,scream and yell, or do you just let it go and ride on? Please let your actions be known. Thanks.

I try to just let it go. It's not worth gettingupset & having your BP to through the roof, it's just not worth it. I find the older I get, the better self control I have in instances like that.

I do what I do in the cage...shake my head and laugh. People get pissed when you shoot them bird but they really get pissed when you laugh at 'em. The bird tells them you're pissed but a shake of the head and laugh tells them you know they're stupid.

I assume they didn't see me and honk my 118db horn for about 5-10 seconds.

I let it go. I have to here at the beach. There are 14 million visitors here a year and not one of them knows where they are going. If Igot mad at every idiot on the road I'd be pissed off the entire time. I shake my head, let it go and enjoy my ride.

Ok, so there was the one boot in the door of a particularly rude and stupid bunch of golfers one day....
