In the car today on my way home from the supermarket, I stopped,needing to pull out to pass a double parked taxi.
I checked my mirrors,saw a bike a way behind me,slowing as I was indicating to pull out.
I pulled out and then the fucking retard decided to overt take as I was passing the taxi, then he got on the horn and flipped me the finger sect.
Wish I'd hit the silly fucker off now,don't just assume right of way because you think you are a hard ass biker ( on a 500 twin

)

Sounds like the sort of problem that'll resolve itself.

Ok I'll be the one to say it. Are you sure you didn't just mis-judge his distance to you and that he was braking? Maybe he thought you were waiting for him to pass before you pulled out.
No harm no foul?

My thoughts exactly.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

No way I misjudged his speed, traffic moving at sub 10mph, he/stopped and put one foot down, then went into courier rider mode.
Fair shout for taking the riders side ( we all know how poorly they can be viewed if it goes wrong), he was being an impatient fool,did not read what was going on around him.
As he approached me, the only way he could not see I was waiting to pass a stationary vehicle with its hazard lights on was by wearing ego blinkers

Fair enough. Dickheads in walks of life. We all bump into a few from time to time.

I was behind a twat today, and just cos he had the lights on his side doesn't make him right - I was stopped behind a 4WD at a pelican crossing or whatever they call them these days. The light for us went green but an old lady (yes older than me!) was still crossing, rather slowly.
Now the law says that you shouldn't drive across the zebra stripes while there is anyone still on the crossing - did he car? Not a bit, he blasted off as she got clear of the front of his vehicle. Well ok, she was slow, I might not have waited for her to get right across.
But I felt that blasting his horn at her was totally uncalled for.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

BG, I actually swung a punch at an Audi that did not stop at a red light on a major crossing ( 4 lanes wide ), he almost took out a little old lady and her little old dog, he just got on the horn.
I forced him to stop by standing in front of his car,put my hands on the bonnet and asked ' How fucking red does a light have to be before you stop at a pedestrian crossing ?'
I walked round to the drivers window which he rapidly shut and said 'Don't touch my fucking car'.
I told him I would do whatever I needed to to stop him killing pedestrians and animals at a crossing, he spun away so my blow did not shatter the window into his horrid face....
Justified aggressive action ?

There's the cause of the issue.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Owned an A4 once--but I feel much better now.
'03 Falco, in the fast colors
'15 Caponord, look upon my toy, ye Mighty, and despair!
Frenzies bewilder, reveries perturb the mind.

Glad you are now cured.
When I think back, Audi's feature significantly in those ' this fucker is trying to kill me' monents
