I  had a similar experiance about 6 months ago. Started with a lane change (in my truck) around a very slow moving vehicle. He takes offense for some reason and starts following me (with his three teenage kids in the car). I was going home but of course didn't continue toward my home. After a few obvious manuevers that indicated with 100% certainty that he was following me, I let him pull up beside me a bit at a stop sign. I showed him my badge and said, "You are following the wrong guy." He couldn't drive the other way fast enough. I still don't know what I did or what he thought I did.

Wow!

Had a couple road rage incidents on a ride to the Oregon coast from Portland the weekend before last.

Local dude in his truck towing a boat flipped us the bird because we passed him (legally, with no double yellows, etc.).  I suppose he expected us to follow him as he drove 40 mph down the (55 mph) highway.

Later, three of us came upon a 2nd local dude on a twisty road.  A bit more of a challenge to pass him due to the twisties.  The first 2 of us pass him and I see him flip the bird out his window at my buddies.  I hang back and wait for my opportunity, and when I start to pass him, he swerves at me, going into my lane, trying to scare me (or kill me?) I suppose.

I don't get it.  Some people are just Richard Heads.

Be careful out there.  On a bike, discretion is the better part of valor.

I haven't the faintest what you're getting at. I can't tap the loud pedal with my foot? Am I missing something?

Maybe Francis thinks they are slow 

In any case I had a person also chase me in a cage. He tried to run me off the road.

He then passed me and stoped ahead and started to run towards my vehicle. He jumped in front of my Car. I had to swerve
and go in the on coming lane while there was another car coming in that direction or I would have killed him.

He hit the cement and rolled a few times ran back to his car and continued to chase me. I lost him at a 4 way intersection on skyline.
That all happened about 15 years ago =)

Hit/blip/tap the gas - cars
Blip the throttle - motos

So, if you throttled your Ford ...

So....does that mean you can't blip the throttle on a diesel? One does not necessarily hit the "gas".
