Default d-bags on harleys

This morning going into work another Harley is behind me. Going to turn left ( at a light without a left arrow with 1 truck in front of us). Light turns yellow truck is coming to a stop and the douche kabob guns it almost rear ending the truck. When stopped he was looking at my bike thought he wanted to talk but I was wearing a skull mask. Light turns green he then tailgates the truck threw the light passing me. Anyone ever have this happen I don't pass or get next to other riders when turning I think it's a great way to get in an accident.

Courtesy is no longer in the American language bud.

I said "waddup" but clearly you couldn't hear me thru the helmet.

I posted a similar reply the other day and got a "dam bro - lighten up" reply!

I don't ride 2 abreast, I don't split lanes - stay the fu** out of my lane!

Doesn't bother me. I probably would have waved him up on my right side at the light (especially if I was waiting to turn left, may as well let him proceed). 2 bikes are easier to see than 1, less chance of getting rear ended.

I'd a pulled up next to ya and said what up but I would have let you go first when the light changed.
Would that have scared you "stay out of my lane" guys?

Ignore, just what I normally do.

I dunno why some guys seem to get all worked up when another bike passes them. The law in Washington state is that no more than two bikes can share a lane. Nothing in the regs that says the riders have to know each other. When someone comes up behind me, and it's obvious they are going to pass me, I move to one side of the lane. When I make a deliberate move to the right, they inevetibly pass me on the left. If I get surprised by a bike that is passing me unexpectedly, it's because I wasn't paying attention. That's my fault, not the fault of the bike passing me. (yes, I know the situation in the op was a little different)

I don't have any problem with another bike passing me, it means he wants to go faster than I am, and he'll draw out the speed traps, if there are any.
