Had a "American harley rider"esqe experience today.....
Had a very weird experience today, but I am not surprised nonetheless.
Was riding back home from college, and from behind me I heard the most unholy exhaust ever. It was a chrome Classic 350, looked pretty new, but it had that Punjabi silencer or whatever it's called and those tail flaps with a hole punch for the exhaust. (The stereotypes keep writing themselves). The dude riding it looked like he was in his mid-20s, but dressed age-appropriately for customizing the bike like that was considered trendy.
Anyways, he overtook me and then slowed down immediately, going slower than the rest of the traffic. I didn't care for it and sped past him. After a while, he repeated the same thing, sped past me and slowed down in front of me, but since I sped past him, I was already going a bit faster than the traffic around me. Then the 3rd time, he rode up in front of me and signaled me to pull over. Unaware of my fate, I followed.
This dude had the audacity to start shouting at me for overtaking him when he did it in the first place. Shouting at me in a language I can't even understand btw! He got off his bike and was coming at me, shouting, and was coming wayy to close for comfort.
Just apologized and rode away, hoping I can draw some distance between me and him before he gets on his bike and dug dugs close to me again.
