Default Sad day when...

It's a sad day when people hate other people just because. I was riding back from getting a haircut tonight, stopped at a red light and noticed a car pull really close on my rear. I looked back in my rearview, and he moved until he was right on top of me. The car was a real POS, smoking, rusted, and bad mufflers. I truly believe he was pissed just because I was on a nice bike. I just let it go and got out of there when the light changed when I really wanted to get off and F##K him up! Makes you wonder where we're going as a society

Maybe he liked the color of your bike and wanted to rub some on his car to make it look better.

Sounds like you did the smart thing and let it slide.

Lots of a-holes looking for trouble just because they have nothing better to do with their time.

(and it could have been he admired your haircut)

I mean it's possible.

Pull away from the light, pull over at the first safe spot, (as in get it off the road, no need to inconvenience innocent drivers) Wave for him to follow. If he don't, go home, have a beer, relax and enjoy the new haircut knowing you didn't have to cause problems for a lot of people for the pleasure of smacking some pu$$y on the road. Lord knows, there will be another time, and another, and another...
