Your thumb up and point could have been misunderstood as you wanting him to downshift and go...I know i've seen people do with with exotics to signal them to take off and rev it out.
thats true also, that goes for us cars too...when someone gives us a signal, we tend to think that way...

it happened to me, too, when i was driving my uncle's odyssey the other day.
the van had that yello "baby on board" sign on it but that sob still managed to perform a high rpm downshift from the side where my 10 month old niece was sleeping in her car seat.
the sound scared the heck out of her and she cried all the way back home.
i even moved to one side of my lane to make it easy for him to lane split (as i always tried to do).

Stop whining, you little woman!

Heehee jk!

Seriously, I know what you mean though.... I try to watch out for bikers as best I can, but due to Biker Boyz there are a ton of rude bitchass squids out there.

I have no problems with loud exhausts because I'm biased, but the pipes are super annoying and are of course, extremely loud. Sport bikes sound awesome.
