Chap on a vintage motorbike (no wing mirrors) pulled alongside and slightly ahead of me- so his shoulder was next to my bars, then drifted his bike left toward me.
I had to brake hard to avoid being pinched between him and the curb.
I caught up to him and after we discovered that he couldn't hear me over his exhaust I insisted that we continue the discussion on the pavement, in (possibly) a more direct fashion.
He sped off, which was annoying.
In all seriousness- if I wanted (just for the sake of argument) to have a full and frank exchange of views with someone on a motorcycle, and suspect that they will simply bugger off, is it as simple as grab key, turn to left, pull?
