    I hear that. Just moved into a new Prostar two weeks ago. Every time I honk the city horn, instead of conveying my indignation it just makes me feel ashamed.

    In the truck I just ignore them, on my bike it's a different story... Had one in sept. on 5 south in LA look right at me beside her and then change lanes into me on my bike! She was apologetic and understood why I kicked in her driver door when she hit me.

    I had a couple today, one a truck and one a 4-wheelie, that just seemed to speed up as I tried to pass and slow down when I got behind.

    My solution was to pull off at the next truck stop for 5.
    After that, they were nowhere in sight.

    It is natural to want to fight it, but sometimes it is better to just change the game.
    And losing 10 minutes of my time by pulling off to let the jerks mess with someone else is no big deal to me.
    In the end it will probably save me hours of paperwork, not to mention points or an accident.

    Carry rocks in a side pocket on your bike. Just make sure they are a type that is found locally.
