This all could have been avoided if you would have just given him the"nod". He was obviously intimidated and tried to run away as fast as possible. That dead joggers blood would have been on YOUR hands.

In my neck of the woods, if the light turns red while crossing a intersection, I'm getting a ticket for running a red light, if i am operating a vehicle. Not sure if that apply s for pedestrians, but they have the, how much time there it to cross, count-down showing. Ignoring it, is not very smart on their part and ignorant
Endangering people needlessly and on purpose, puts that biker in a league on it's own.

Didn't follow cause I was thinking about pulling a gomer pyle 'citizen's arrest', I ain't the po-po.I just saw it and was just traveling the same direction heading home. My point was this cat was hauling ashes, and I would have risked a speeding ticket keeping up with him. As for the couple, I'll bet they discussed the incident, next time they hear a Harley bet they check it out.

Yesterday, leaving a school after a baseball win on the road, I witnessed one of the most bizarre moves I've seen in years. I had just pulled out onto the main drive and was stopped at the intersection red light. I've started riding the Ultra to away games as almost everything I need but our ball buckets and gear will fit in the pack. My assistant coach drives a Nissan pickup so he packs all that stuff. Anyway, kinda rehashing the game we just won in my head as I prepare for a sweet 55 mile ride back home. I'm heading straight into a setting sun so I decide to swap out my glasses for darker, polorized shades I keep in the shield bag. Just then a Harley pulls up beside me at the light, sweet sled, apes, loud, looking good. Tough guy doesn't acknowledge me, but revves up the motor good and loud so I know he's arrived. I keep my nod to myself and notice two joggers approach crossing from left to right. A man and woman and they begin to jog across the intersection. Just as they're midway across the street, the light changes. Rambo blasts Bat Outta Hell off the line and just misses hits the woman as he lane splits the couple. Literally inches from striking this couple, he wobbles, straightens up and blasts off into what had to be a night to remember. I followed but would have risked a speeding ticket, a major league speeding ticket, had I stayed with him. This stretch of road is a 35 MPH zone with ball parks and golf courses, schools and such all along the way. Can't imagine how fast he left, but almost know he didn't see the couple. 70's biker movies, here we come. 
And we worry about cagers! I've seen more stupid people on bikes that I wish didn't own bikes.
Just just can't fix stupid
Yep, I noticed that too. Too much "bad ***" in this forum.
So, OP is "Original Poster"....ya?
