Yeah, it didn’t take much to provoke that reaction. I guess it’s best to disappear in the distance at about any conflict on the road.

I've never seen a motorcycle win an argument against a car yet.

That is a terrible case, but we should always ride like we have targets painted on our backs. Inattention and sheer stupidity are just as deadly.

This stinks to see, and I’m glad it didn’t end in very serious injuries or death, but it’s obviously a great reminder that motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians will always get the short end of the stick, so take your rage at your own risk. The motorcyclist didn’t need to get off the bike. I’m not putting sole blame on the motorcyclist for the car driver’s rage, but…

…you don’t poke a bear.

And in this day of high stress living and privilege, every vehicle driver is a potential bear.

In the video he said the perp turned himself in.

Been really thinking about riding with a recorder/GoPro of some sort. It's just getting more unstable out there..  :undecided:

It’s easy to succumb to the righteous feeling of educating the errant driver on where they’re wrong. Probably best to disengage and live to fight another day.

Madness is everywhere. Avoidance is the best policy.

One more example of why you don't want to antagonize people these days.  If this guy had a gun, I really believe the rider would have been much more seriously hurt or worse...
When one is on a MC you just have to swallow your anger and move on. 
Thank God this guy is OK with relatively minor injuries...

Good example why everyone should wear ATGATT.

It’s all risk management and what you’re comfortable with. “Dress for the slide and not the ride”! Some people think “the slide” will never happen to them. Maybe not.

Gravity always wins, eventually…😉
