i don't think it's narrow minded. I agree with everything you put there including he couldn't ride well enough to back up his actions therefore I think he's a flaming retard who shouldn't be playing games with his life or the lives of others.

it's all fun and games 'till someone becomes a hood ornament. or in this case grill meat.

could have been the biker being a dumb ass too but no one knows....

True!

Bottom line we willnever know cause there is no way the RV driver is going to come forth with any more info.

If you're the RV driver why would you say dude was buzzing you with rude gestures, braked hard and you ran him over? Why wouldn't you just say guy was in front of you and his bike malfunctioned if thats what happened? I'm pretty sure in investigation might reveal a malfunction.

Okay, here's where I lower even the lowest opinion of me... I've done exactly what this guy is accused of doing in the past. Mostly when idiots are tailgating me on the freeway. Now in my defense, I drop it in second and am prepared to gas it if necessary but a stupid maneuver none the less.

The only time a brake check truly works is with stock car racing restarts. Any other time it is better to kick em on the way by or fling up the old proverbial pocket full of bb's as you pull away...

And, at the end of the day, public perception is that motorcyclists are the dangerous ones. THIS is why... it's that lasting impression that stays with them.

Why on EARTH would you do that?

You feel you're going to teach them a lesson? Great - you're dead. Hope your family's pain is worth the lesson to some stranger that won't even "get it."

Well lesson or not, they tend to back way off and dont ever come near me again.

If the RV is moving over and the driver does not see the bike, then bike should just share the lane with the RV or speed up. Now..the biker is killed because of stupidity.

Weaving from side to side in your lane has a tendency of getting the same result

He could have very well been doing a brake check...who knows. Why else would a motorcyclist give obsene gesture to a cager unless the cager did something stupid that caused the biker a nice "oh shit" moment and some road rage? I know I wouldn't brake check a motorhome just like I wouldn't do it to a semi. That's just nuts.

I rarely brake check when I'm riding. I will, however, weave from side to side. It usually gets their attention and they don't want to be around some crazy biker so they back off.

I've seen a few people do it while riding. Wade used to light up the rear tire when he did it.

Brake checking a motorhome was a stupid move IMO. But it doesn't keep me from feeling bad for everyone who's lives it involved.

I let my middle finger do the talking. It gets the point across without have to put my life on the line. A pocket full of marbles works well too and in the extreme event, a nice flemy mouth full of lung butter spit on their windshield does wonders.
