I'm riding a Triumph America (800cc), so it isn't a tiny bike and I'm beeping like crazy - he just keeps coming... I hit my brakes & downshifted as fast as I could safely while riding closer and closer to the concrete barrier - I felt the wind from the back of his trailer on my right hand - he literally came within less than a foot from me! After nearly hitting me, he's riding and swerving off one side of the road and then the other, then he goes to pass two tractor trailers and nearly hits them, as well,...    less
