Has anyone thought to contact the media in a situation like this? Chris, just an idea but what would happen if you, all the PDX news crews and say those 4000 angry bikers showed up at this guy's house at family dinner time??

Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 12:55:21 -0400 Hey fellow two wheelers, I need the the legal advise of anybody willing to give it. I was riding with 2 other guys on Saturday and had a "run-in" with an ANGRY driver. It was between Fairhaven and HWY 26 on Skyline. We were coming down the hill (doing 25-30mph...it's a 25 zone) and this guy was riding our wheel so close and trying to pass on every bend. We were in the middle of the lane--as we were doing the speed limit. Also because I've ridden up that rode and enough others to know that he could very well pass us into the on-coming lane and hit some other riders head-on or a car with a family in it or whatever. That's why there is a double yellow line there. Anyways, we got to the bottom of the hill where it opens up a bit and he came right up next to me and slams on his brakes to cut me off, forcing me to lock up my rear wheel and fish tail. I managed to stay upright. A yelling match ensued (he had 2 boys in the car with him-probably between 9-13 yrs old-I bet they were proud of ole' dad) and then he took off proudly waving his middle finger out of his convertible beamer. I called the Police right away and they said since nothing happened (no contact damage or injury) there was nothing they could do. What I needed to do was call the DMV and they would send him a letter. So, I call the DMV and guess what? You got it. They say "I don't know why they would tell you that, we're not an enforcement agency". I would like to send message to this guy and remind him there are laws and that he's driving around a car with a license plate on it. It's easy to find out who you are. WHat can I do? Thanks for your help. ENjoy the ride! Chris To respond to the whole group send to ob-@topica.com.
