I agree. You did the right thing, but that still doesn't excuse such behaviour.
Maybe he was such a bad rider he was afraid to take one hand off the handlebar to make a quick wave
Not to hijack this thread, but it reminds me of an incident about 15-16 years ago.
I was out for a day ride on my Honda Hawk when I came upon a Harley rider by the side of the road. As I approached I could see that it was an older model with a kick-starter and there was a deep impression in the gravel shoulder of the road made by the foot that wasn't doing the kicking. He had obviously been stuck there for some time and was covered in sweat from the effort to start the bike.
I told him to jump on and I would take him to the nearest telephone to call for help, but he refused my offer, and again quite obviously, would rather stay stuck by the side of the road rather than get on a Japanese bike.
I simply rode away and left him there.
Idiot!!
