I have followed people a few times (only if they have been an *******) and it can be funny. They start speeding up, then the cell phone comes out and they are either calling the cops or friends for help.
One of the few memories I have of my father (parents divorced when I was 5 *sniff) was riding with him in his old pickup truck when someone started riding his ***. It was a bit after dark and he had a few beers, so he slows down, lets the guy pass and then chases the poor dude for miles and miles 'til the guy runs home and locks himself in his house with my drunken father standing out in the guys front yard yelling for him to come out and get his *** beat.

The best part of what happened to me back in 2003 was the jerk getting pulled over by local PD and Im riding past with a **** eating grin,but wondered what story the idiot was givng the cop. I rode thinking that he said something maybe the cop was gonna shake me down . But after a mile or so,looking back seeing no red rollers in my mirror,was a relief! hehe. Id love to have another experience like thaat one!
I've not had too many tailgators since I put on the BAL-2 Bright *** Lights. Something about a light bright enough to cause severe eyeball pain seems to keep them back a reasonable distance.
If the motorcyclist takes any sort of retaliatory action like damaging the car or getting off the bike and intimating the driver, the driver then has the right to use lethal force in states that have "stand your ground laws". Escalating the level of confrontation is never a good idea.
This stuff has a tendency to want to make me barf. As posted earlier, I move over and avoid confrontation but when pushed by some azzwipe, I have and will continue to "stand my ground" even before that needed to be defined into some law by a bunch of fancy-pants lawyers. I'm happy to say that's the difference between a biker and a motorcyclist. And it also gives me pleasure to say that if somebody really wants to **** with me they better be ready to go all the way because my old school lack of fear can still burn pretty hot. And God bless America.

Just a joke, but if you get pushed by some "azzwipe" you wont stand your ground, you will be on the ground.
Just go like hell. Remember the days when HD riders NEVER went the speed limit? Now most are slower than RVs being driven by an 80 year old man with a toy poodle on his lap.
