I was going to let the incident go and continue on but the driver stopped his car and yelled out the window "What the f*** you doing a**hole". I stopped, dropped the bike and invited him out of the car (I know, bad move, I'm a little guy). He just kept cursing so I asked if he was having a hard time driving drunk at 3:00 in the afternoon and that just maybe I should call the police to settle this. He promptly left. Boy, some people. Unfortunately, I didn't get his plate number.
Hey I live in Framingham, MA not to far from Bellingham. I had my wedding reception at that VFW almost 30 years ago. I will have to remember to pay close attention when riding past a VFW. Glad you did not get hit.
