WHOA man. i know its valentines day. but im taken!!! keep dem perdy lips to your self! 

Back on topic......

I have a similar story where I was riding at midnight on the FDR in manhattan, empty 3 tight lanes and there was one mini van i could see on the whole road. Its a 45mph (and rightfully so) and since its open im doing about 65. Im on the left most lane, a mini van is on the right most lane and i pass him while i was in the middle lane on a gentle right hander and slow down as i approach this hill thats blind. I have a fear that theres a wall of traffic over the hill and im going to tee into someone, so i always slow down.

The guy comes DRILLING into the corner and tries to run me off the road. His rear rear right bumper was probably about 2-3 feet away from my front wheel and im just like WHOA!!! guy slows down and i go around on the driver side and the guy starts cussing at me in russian with a furious looking face. i had no idea what i did and he tried to bump me again and i just gunned it and left.

There was also that time i thought a guy was trying to pull a gun on me (thats buried somewhere on this forum).

These people who start shit, you dont know if they are nuts, or if they are trying to act big or if they are having a murderous day and looking to start shit. First thing you should ALWAYS think before getting into a scruffle is, how far is this guy going to go to kill me? (hint, you dont know).

The rider did the right thing. He stood his ground to assess the situation, the guy came up and acted big and gave a sissy shove. With gear on, no one will punch you in the face, if hte rider tried to punch back he would of delt with a 400lb bike dragging him down and another 200lb fella kick him in the nuts. good on the rider in my opinion.

I'm taken too, she's a physician, but hey, if a better offer comes along...

No, seriously, good point.

Self-defense 101 is that you never know if the other guy is better, or just plain crazier than you.

Not that I've been smart about that too many times in my life...

 When I have been in situations with crazies I practice a method I learned in Infantry training, it's called "escape and evasion"!

You've got to be crazier than the crazies. I learned that after 5 years in Philadelphia.
