Default Douce on a ped

Where do these guys get the nerve? Yesterday I was out on a cruise on my scoot traveling down a single lane road in town. I noticed a guy on a moped approaching from behind. I was following three cages and noticed the first one was slowing to turn left. It had to come to a complete stop to wait for oncoming traffic. The other two cars came to a complete stop and so did I but the douchebag on the moped decided he didn't have to and passed me along with the other cars on the right side (shoulder of the road). As he was passing me he flipped me off so as you all can imagine this sparked my interest and kinda pissed me off. He then passed the other cars and decided he was gonna then turn left in front of everybody into a gas staion right after passing. This pissed me off a little more. My interest was peaked so to speak and I was extremely pissed so I decided I was going to ask him why he flipped me off so I pulled in next to him. I proceeded to tell him that what he did is why a lot of two wheel riders go down and he said he flipped me off because I should have done the same and he did nothing wrong. Whatcha think fellas? Should I have pulled him off his moped and taught him a lesson or continued on my way?

IMHO, you should have ignored the dipstick and gone on your way. When a moron invites you to join him, there's no law requiring you accept.

I will kinda admit it, some of me thought it was funny that someone on the lowest of the low part of the "food chain" (moped) decided it best to flip me off
