If this happened during a funeral procession or something really important I can understand some of the reactions.
Motorcycles do not own the roadways. We share them with many other vehicles, most of which can kill us before we can say "oh chit".
Respect goes both ways.
If the event were that large, there should have been a police escort both ways.
If you're group was large enough, why not take back roads to your destination. You would have less chance to get split up and also less chance of any altercation between cage drivers and m/c riders.
I just don't see why you have a right to get pissed. Yes the cage driver over reacted but these two wrongs do not make a right.

I was OK with it for the first few miles, but we followed them like that for almost 80 miles! I was pretty bent by then. So yeah, just because your on an organized ride doesn't mean that you own the road.

Some people are just idiots... what would it cost him to wait a couple of minutes... now 80 miles is another story, but in this case, it's probably the same type of person who thinks they don't have to wait for anyone; they probably drive down the shoulder or exit lane during traffic to avoid waiting their turn to merge into the freeway, and probably don't pull over for fire trucks and ambulances because they're too important... we used to get these people all the time while in the fire dept... but they're also the first to complain when the fire dept takes "too long" to get to them when they're the ones who need help.
Everyone's in a hurry nowadays... take the time to enjoy life, lower the stress level, and slow down a bit. Common courtesy is no longer very common.

But to go out of your way, to cut off riders, and then force your way into the group is just a A-hole way of handling the frustration. What was the A-hole driving? Do you remember?
