Unless he was brake checking you, my guess is that it had to do with his safety. I've been on crowded highways where I'll "encourage" someone by getting up close if they are matching the speed of the car beside them. The only reason I do this is so I'm not pinned next to another vehicle. When you ride (and really when you drive too) you always want an out. If things go bad, you should always have a way to bail that doesn't put you on the tarmac. I have seen plenty of guys acting like total morons. Darwinism usually ends up taking care of them.
My office is in Columbus. I see it maybe 3 times a year. Last summer I decided to take my bike because it was a great day. On the way back I had a kid come up and on ramp, dart across 3 lanes of traffic and almost hit me. Luckily my Spidy Senses kicked into full force and I got off the throttle and had my hand on the brake by the time he was really hauling it into my lane. I was probably close enough to read his VIN from his rear window. On the highway we tend to get ahead of the trouble. When you constantly have soccer moms trying to run you over, you start to get very defensive.
I would be interested to know what the rider did to "punk you." It doesn't sound very comfortable.

Back when 315 was 55MPH some guy on a bike was tailing me because I was going 65 (while I was passing people on the right). I was like "this dude is awfully close to my bumper I hope he doesnt get hurt". I did the right thing and got in the right lane so he could pass. He stuck out his hand (with a glove on) and flipped me off.
Thanks. Real tough. Next time I see him, Ill just put both feet on the brake.
People are awfully tough when they can get away easily.
