Get a storage shed and put the junk from the garage in there, and park your car in the garage where it should be in the first place.

Empty threat. Take it as a lesson learned, move on, and next time just watch out for those on motorcycles. Like mentioned earlier, a minor mistake from a driver can result in disaster for a rider.

I once had an older guy tell me and show me that he carried several rolls of pennies in his jacket pocket. He told me they worked great when he would get cut off. I've always just tried to blow it off and not make anything out of it when it happens to me.

You obviously don't know any real bikers......don't mistake them for the clowns wearing costumes every weekend playing "dress up" as a biker.

Big difference.

Sorry, I only know the Saskatchewan Hell's Angels and they are all a bunch of farmers with Harleys. They act tough as hell in a group, but 1 on 1, they are the ones apologizing.

EDIT: And I definitely don't want to make it sound like I think ALL bikers are idiots, but when you are basically the most vulnerable vehicle on the road, you should drive with that in mind. And I would say about 90% of the motorcycle riders in my area don't. Driving in between lanes, cutting people off, speeding on wet pavement. And it seems like MORE idiots are driving bikes now because they are so cheap on gas.

I feel bad for the actual 'good' motorcyclists, cause you have an extremely high number of morons out there making all of you look stupid

It will throw him off, other than that if I were you and he came back to my house he would turn up missing and I would be ordering a clear vin motorcycle frame off of eBay and I would have me a new bike, lol!

If some guy followed me to MY house and tried to whip my ass or make any threats (I could give a damn if he was in some gang or not) he'd be saying hi to a .45
It would be a good enough scare, you wouldn't be seeing him around your house anytime after that.

I could never stand those biker "hard asses"...Whenever I see one I think of the South Park episode with Harley bikers (episode "The F Word"), makes me laugh every time.

Thanks for all the input and advice from everybody. As most people have said, I'm sure it was just an empty threat intendned to stress me out.

Let's not let this turn into a thread where people talk about waving guns around like it's the Wild West (I own several firearms but pointing them at people who make veiled threats to me is not an appropriate use for them, IMHO) like I've seen in other threads, or a motorist vs biker thread. I'm 100% certain that you'll find the ratio of dickheads to decent people equal in both groups.

I apologize for not reading the whole thread but..forecast called for rain, the guy took a bike out anyway, knew he would be on the road with CARS around him in said rain..and he got pissed because he inevitably got a little wet?

That dude is smart!

Or might he be rounding up his rowdy friends for this weekend, or sometime else? Who knows...it was either an idle threat or harbinger and ode of things to come...either way, good luck bro.

LOL I could see my husbands reaction to me telling him no... all my sh!t would be on the lawn and he'd buy sh!t just to put it in the way of me getting my sh!t back in....

However in his defense, he makes more money than I do and gives/buys me pretty much anything I want. Plus I adore him so I would never say no to him....
