i have never been able to get my head around why many riders (mostly american) have a go at car drivers for some reason or other. even my 600 is faster than most cars out there, so when somebody does something stupid in front of me, there may be some hand gesturing or mirror bashing but otherwise i give it a handful and the offending driver is way back in the distance. life's too short to argue about why he/she didnt indicate etc etc
Totally agree fella :thumbup - unless I'm in London whereby all bets are off :lol

There's not enough hours in the day to have a go at everyone who cuts me up, tailgates me or pulls out on me on my daily commute in NW London.
I just have to take it for granted that everyone's about to do something stupid and take evasive action beforehand to minimize the risk.
Certainly keeps your wits about you for sure.
Central London is another story, i s'pose it's the same scenario, but just speeded up 3 times quicker, it's not for the faint hearted on a bike.
