Something similar to that happened to me a few years ago. I was on a major highway, on my Goldwing pulling a small cargo trailer and my wife on board. It was late afternoon but still enough daylight. I had my CB radio on channel 19, the preferred trucker channel. Looking in my rearview mirror, I noticed a semi, still pretty far but looked like he was gaining on me. I always ride slightly below the speed limit. Then I noticed another truck attempting to pass the first one. Still monitoring the situation. At one point, they were both side by side, as if the first truck was accelerating. Both still gaining on me. Then the CB crackled and I heard, I assumed the second truck, saying" Hey man, slow down. There's a biker ahead". The reply came in, that froze my blood. " I don't care, I'll run over him". I panicked and picked up speed. My wife was screaming in panic. I was going too fast to try to slow down and pull over. After a short while, the second truck slowed down and back on the right lane. The first truck passed me. I noticed a California plate on the trailer. Was he just kidding? From that day on, when I see a truck behind me, I try to steer clear. Of course, this never happened again, but let you wonder how many of these crazy drivers are out there....
