It's nice to meet new people, but on a scooter, sometimes strangers are dangerous. Had a few unnerving experiences on this ride, including someone following me, possibly seeking an opportunity for road rage. Freaked me out a bit.

Good post!
You DO have to be careful. Last year, I was in the left-turn lane of a 4-lane surface street, coming to a stop to turn left. A guy suddenly came blasting by me on my left, in my lane, and turned right attempting to nail me. I heard his engine racing, saw his approach in my mirror and hit the brakes FAST, causing him to fly by BEFORE he could "PIT" me. He flew instead into oncoming traffic where he sideswiped an oncoming car.
That was attempted murder plain and simple.
To my disappointment, while parking at home, the cretin slowly drove past me. Turns out he's my neighbor... Duh...
I said "You know you nealy hit me back there?" He shouted "Yeah, I'll GET you next time you old bastard" while making a gun motion with his hand. The guy's an illegal alien gangster/drug pusher. The car is stolen.
What a world we live in... I guess locals don't like me because I'm not covered with jailhouse tattoos. I feel better feeling that lump in my waistband, from my licensed 1911 .45. A gun is like health insurance... you hope you never need to use it, but if you do, you're glad you have it... LOL!
The stolen battered Nissan Altama still shows up all over our neighborhood, but I haven't seen the guy in months. Hope I never do. Likely, he ran into someone less "tolerant" than me... Yup.
Ride safe, and, watch yer' six!
