Sounds like fun. What kind of bike?

That's a smart biker to let you go ahead - and you're an asshole for following closely behind him, and maybe even lucky he didn't kick off your mirror. Tailing a bike, especially on a challenging, low visibility mountain road is dumb - he can stop *much* faster than you if there's an obstacle, and you're risking rear-ending him, totaling the bike and likely injuring or killing the rider.

just my .02; nothing personal
