Weaving from side to side in your lane has a tendency of getting the same result

He could have very well been doing a brake check...who knows. Why else would a motorcyclist give obsene gesture to a cager unless the cager did something stupid that caused the biker a nice "oh shit" moment and some road rage? I know I wouldn't brake check a motorhome just like I wouldn't do it to a semi. That's just nuts.

I rarely brake check when I'm riding. I will, however, weave from side to side. It usually gets their attention and they don't want to be around some crazy biker so they back off.

I've seen a few people do it while riding. Wade used to light up the rear tire when he did it.

Brake checking a motorhome was a stupid move IMO. But it doesn't keep me from feeling bad for everyone who's lives it involved.

I let my middle finger do the talking. It gets the point across without have to put my life on the line. A pocket full of marbles works well too and in the extreme event, a nice flemy mouth full of lung butter spit on their windshield does wonders.

How the F are you doing that with a full face on?

Flip up the lid, pull the mouth guard down. Wont work with a breath guard installed.

I've eased off the gas to let a tailgater know that I don't appreciate their proximity. By the time we get down to 55 or so, they get the idea to go around. But brake check? That's just dumb.

Too risky for me. I'd have this shit all over myself and be doubly pissed.
