this doesnt make any sense. how is the rider following the van? if he cut the van off then he's in front of it.

I'd bet that the driver almost ran the guy over and didn't realize it, so she claimed that the road rage was unprovoked.

He probably cut them off or they didn't like his ability to weave in front of them, horn honks were exchanged, tempers flared, and they followed EACHOTHER to a point where the confrontation happened.

what kind of idiot on a bike would not avoid road rage? unless you got a nice heavy chain or brick you carry around you, and a super fast sport bike, your as good as a fly on the visor.

so stay away from Harley Davidson riders...

only if you're in Canada...

I'm just thinking about the teenager who got smacked for flipping off the motorcyclist. I bet he's getting a lot of razzing from his buddies:
"Ha ha, you got bitch-slapped while riding shotgun in your Mom's mini-van!"
