He eventually ended up in a cul-de-sac. It was high noon at the OK Corral as we faced each other waiting for someone to make a move. Since I only wanted to talk to the kids, I moved first. I laid my bike down on the road to prevent him from getting out of the cul-de-sac and started walking towards the car. I no sooner had taken 2 steps, when the teenager in the back got out of the car with his hands up in the air saying something to the effect that he didn't want to get the **** kicked out of him. I had to chuckle as I explained how dangerous it was to do what he had done to me and he apologized. It was a good conversation and we ended up shaking hands. Before we went our separate ways, he had to comment on how he was amazed at how well I was able to keep up with the car. Something about my legs and/or type of bike.

I've got more that I'll post later. I'm loving this thread.
Great story and a situation very well handled. My compliments to you.

I love this thread too. As an observer of human behaviour I am always curious about how people to different situations and 'road-rage' is a compelling phenomenon.
