You were right, he was wrong. People like that are just idiots. I would never pull up like that beside someone I don't know.

I too only trust one guy that I know in a lane share situation. The guy you met was just a dick.

Now at a stop light I don't mind if another rider pulls all the way up alongside me to chat as long as he doesn't pull out alongside me after the light goes green.

 

I don't like riding side by side with riders I know, let alone some assclown who just happens to be on the same road.

 

You were exactly correct.
Guard your space.

 

Harley brother? Sounds like Billy no mates.

 

Had similar happen to me today. Wife and I were fully geared on sunshine, riding in sunday e-way traffic. Stop and go. Kept it steady, slow rolling. Fellow on a newer Dyna decided he wanted to share... Was all over the place. Had on Timberlain slippers, backward ball cap, shades, jeans and tee shirt. Nice shiny bike.. Almost creamed the lady in front of us' bumper a couple times. I fell back to see what *** hat would do. Well, needless to say, he cut across, and got off I believe. Never to be seen again! Made me laugh. He thought him and his bike were better looking than the 2 of us and sunshine... We showed him! (our full gear is vests, Sweatshirts, boots, skid lids, riding glasses, gloves. All good stuff too!) Too funny!

So if your out there flamed Dyna rider.. Heed this advice. Take a day, learn to ride and control your bike... In a parking lot before you attempt to make it in traffic! FOr your safety Not too smart to share lanes with mini vans and cabs on the white line. Its a very expensive proposition to get yourself out of in court if not for the inevitable! Trucker

 

I had a kid do that to me a few years ago. I yelled at him to get the hell out of my way. I only ride side by side with someone I am vary familiar with.

 

You were not in the wrong. I'd just drop back though. I ride close & tight with my brothers, but anyone else is not welcome in my space...

 

Cowboy Rob must be out riding, so I'll say it...
"Shoulda stabbed him."

Don't get that "brother" stuff. We used to scrap like wild dogs.
