I have no idea what the face licking gesture is about, I don't see how that's supposed to be threatening in any way. I'll ask my friend at work who should know what these sort of things mean.

Well would you want that guy to lick your face? No! That is why it is a threat

then as he is trying to stop the flow of blood a few quick punches to the face with Kevlar armoured gloves would have cracked the cheek bone, finally a few well aimed kicks to the ribs would have cracked a few. I am sure he might not have wanted to argue with a biker again, oh and before you left should have tourched his car!

I think not...

I was hunted down by a Pontiac driver in Bristol on the ring road the other week, he was driving like a ccok and squeezing through gaps where he shouldn't be nearly causing crashed and after all that (with his kids in the car) I pulled up next to him at the lights just after he stopped so for all that R'sing around and dangerous driving he got to the lights seconds earlier than he would have if he drove normally or at least toned it down to BMW driver status (semi ccok).

I shook my head, he put the window down and started screaming across his missus at me (left hand drive and he was a big fooker).

"Oh dear me thinks" he wheel spins off and I filter past him at the next set of lights and carry on as I normally would around the ring road only to see him appear in my mirrors quickly and about a foot from my rear wheel a couple of roundabouts later (most of them have traffic lights). Anyway I disapeared to show him there was no point and that I could out run him but don't want to get pulled speeding or running red lights or anything. And this carried on for miles...

NOT WORTH IT. My lesson learnt???

Don't be opionionated unles you can back it up!!

Whatever happens do not get sucked in that is what they want they, they hurt us so back off......I have seen red before and gone after people and have had arguments lets say, but they nearly had me off.

End of the day I can take care of my self, but you do not know what weapons are in that car ect, as was proved with the stolen sports car in Denham a few weeks ago. It was stolen the guy had an axe in there!!

I think the best thing is if you have a near miss, pull over and stop and calm down, do not get into an argument. I had an MPV cut me up a while back, so I over took it, it ended up following me flashing lights horn on, there were quite a few people in there. I droped down a few gears and opened the bike up, they were dust.

Never put yourself on offer its just so not worth it.

A mate of mine has reached into a car, pulled the keys out and launched them into the flowerbeds in the middle of a busy roundabout.
