Re: Deescalate...
I believe you should never underestimate the potential violence of both car and motorcycle operators who demostrate odd behavior. I have expierenced situations where just passing a car brought on "an attitude"; we all have. Usually I can tell the difference between having some fun on the road and the vibes that go with some drivers/riders. My opinion is to stay far ahead and watch your rear (we have a power and speed advantage), do a 90 degree, let it be and always look out. On the other hand you can also enjoy mixing it up a bit, we are bikers. Personal protection is also an option if legal and can be of some assurance in rare moments but of no use in normal riding. And by the way way where is the darn spell checker button on this thing?
