Yeah, you're a jerk for doing it, as much as an asshole a renegade
motorcycle rider may be, you are still in a 3500 pound cage, by dicking
with a motorcyclist(no matter what a tool he might be), you might as
well be signing his death warrant.  I'm really sorry for calling you a
jerk, but you asked...and as a rider (and of course the owner of a Q),
I'm very sensitive about the subject of hate between motorcyclists and
cage drivers.  Please just leave them alone...if a biker kills himself
for his own stupidity, so be it, chances are he'll only hurt himself,
but if you or someone else contributes to it by tapping your brakes, or
opening a car door, or sticking your arm out the window, you may cause
him to wreck, where otherwise he may not have...do you really want the
death or injury of some one on your conscience. Please just leave 'em
alone, we are not all bad people.

thanks just my .02
