So going on RT 40 in Baltimore (50-55 mile an hour road, 2 lanes) I was with the wife, we were probably doing 60 or 65, (speedo said 73 so probably around 60 corrected) Ill admid i was weaving a little, not alot, no lane splitting, nothing super crazy, trust me, my wife would kill me if we were doing anything crazy. And there is a black truck that i pass. I get maybe 1/4 mile ahead and see him trucking up to me real fast. im like ok, whatever some dude thinks he has a fast truck. So he sits right next to me for a while or so... i didnt look over because i figured he would be doing something to try to get me to race, based upon the way he flew up behind me.
So another mile goes by, and i slow it a bit, then he slows, so i take off (like up to 70, not really killing it, just enough to get a car lenght or two ahead) then he does too... still sitting right next to me, then cars come up nex to me and he is forced to set back then as soon as there is room he comes flying back next to me.... so now im like screw it... pass if your gonna pass... so he goes flying by, swerves in front of me and hits the brakes. Im like what the flock a hole... then he sticks his finger out (holdin something or flicking me off, i couldnt tell) so i go to get around him, (since he hit the brakes) and as i pass i see he is holding a badge... im like what the heck, it looks like he is wearing a police uniform unbuttoned... so i wave that ill pull over, find a parking lot and stop, he comes up and starts going crazy (police uniform removed wearing only a wife beater now) and i explain look dude, i realize i was going a little fast, but can you blame me, you were trying to intimodate me, then he goes on to tell me how he has called the cops, and im in deep for trying to run from a cop (i guess referring to when i tried to get a few car lengths in front) I told him flat out that that was a lie, because he did nothing to identify himself and that to me he was just a guy in a black truck trying to run me off the road, what would he have done in the situation? and that my brother is a cop and i would never try to run....
So he gives me a lecture about how having a passenger is a big responsibility and i was acting like an idiot. then he tells me that the reason he pulled me over was because i failed to signal when changing lanes.. THATS IT? THATS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT? so i ask if i should wait for the cops to show up since he said he called them already, and he said no go ahead, but that this is on my record, and next time ill get double the fine. He must have thought i was an idiot... So now looking back i probably should have called the police myself and had him looked into... A. for chasing me in traffic and trying to scare me with his vehicle. B for wearing a police uniform, then taking it off before approaching my bike (no gun, nothing, super shady) then for saying he called the police and this is going on my record when i know thats a complete lie because he isnt a judge to convict me, therefor how can i be penalized for something that cnat be proven?
all in all a very Sh!tty experience.
Then less than a mile down the road after this happend, a stupid a$$ asian dude thought it would be a good idea to literally come to a complete stop in the middle of a 50mph road so he could change lanes... so the van in front of me locks up... so i lock up and slide sideways, pump the brakes and slide for about 25 feet. end up about 2 feet from their bumper.... still on two wheels thank god...
Hurray for atgatt atleast...

That's rediculous!! Sounds like a nut-job to me. Lucky he didn't cause an accident. Glad you made it home in one piece!
