Seems today there are just too many wackos on the roads. Nobody wants to show any courtesy or give somebody a break.

What's with the paragraph replies? Who gives a ****. Let the man tell his story and press on. Somebody always finds something to bitch about.

+1, I didn't know this was English class. I read and understood the story, paragraphs or not.

People who roadrage like that on bikers need to be shot. Especially with no provocation.

I had a guy get pissed of that the headlights in my Yukon ( on low beam) were too bright. He slows way down so I have to pass him, then he slams into the side of my truck!
Sheriff comes, and he's yelling at the officer about the lights.
Long story short....he got the ticket and the repair bill.
Watch out...it's getting crazy out there!

Being from Texas and still living in Texas might get you into a shoot out. Don't know about you but I assume everyone has a pistol including me. Winner testifies, loser dies. Winner never starts it when stating what happens, loser just lays there quiet. Thanks for mentioning getting shot. You reminded me I need to go to the gun shop and pick up new grips. I forgot they were in.

That’s a good point, about the gun thing. Funny, I have had a permit for many years but have gotten so pissed at people when I’m on the bike that I stopped carrying. I guess when I’m in my truck I kind of feel like, “bring it on and I’ll plant you on the next overpass”. Pulling over and letting danger pass ya is a good id. Ride safe brothers.

I would have stopped when I saw the cops talking to him, and added my bit of the story. That guy is dangerous and needs to be off the road.

Grammar Police aside - Jeez - Glad you made it out of there in one piece! That dude sounds like a serious loser. I too have a hard time riding away from someone like that, and occasionally don't. You never know. Hope the ******* gets what he deserves and the black truck driver too. He get's good stuff though.
