He ended up telling me that his brother was really hurt on one and I guess the mere sight of a pit bike makes him so mad he's willing to chase one down and go nuts on the home owner? When he returned he told me that he called the police back and asked that they ignore his earlier request. Like I said, he ended up being an okay guy, and we all have our moments. I would have thought like you guys that my buddy must have done something crazy to make him that mad (although this is not typical of his character), but the guy just said he was just hauling down the road (mind you while it is a 88cc big bore, the gearing limits the bike to a max speed of maybe 45mph). And again, I am by no means claiming to be an innocent party, it isn't street legal and he most likely was going above the posted 30mph speed limit, I have no problem with that, but the immediate aggression that he presented was really something that took this to the next level.
The point of this post was just that as I saw him approaching my home (the second time) my adrenaline level sky rocketed and I went into protection mode (thus grabbing the pipe). If there is only one place on this earth I refuse to be threatened it is my home, and since my last request to him was to leave my property, and we left on such bad terms, I felt that odds were he was coming to settle the score. When I told my buddy about the subsequent encounter he thought it was crazy that I'd have approached him with a pipe, which made me feel like either a crazy man or a wuss. I reminded him that had the guy had ill intentions that pipe (however ineffective it might be against a gun) might have saved my life. As far as the neighbor, he looked pretty shocked that I came out with a pipe as well, whoops.
