I think you did as best as possible.
To all the aggressive people out there you are idiots, one person on a motorcycle is at a huge tactical disadvantage.
To all the people talking guns, since this comes up on the gun forums as often as the sun rises, having a concealed carry on you is an excellent idea, however with the way laws are set up pulling it out even if you don't point it at someone is a very bad idea. A gun is a defensive weapon (unless you are in the military) for when you are confronted by a larger number of people or people who are armed, it is not a show of force. Also I personally believe if it can't be carried with a round in the chamber its not a safe (or useful) carry gun.
There is a logic fail concerning pointing a gun at someone with a running car pointed at you or driving parallel in the next lane, see if you can figure out what it is.
Open carry being considered normal like Texas is a beautiful idea, implied threat without legally implying a threat. People are worlds more polite when a gunfight might break out over rudeness.
In a legal situation you either have reliable witnesses or you have no case, a go pro helmet cam has proven itself to be an excellent witness in more cases than I can count. However everything I have seen so far for them is not very aerodynamic at all at freeway speeds and impossibly clunky, the handlebar mount is better but not as
useful for things tailgating (though you could remove it and point it if stopped).
Riding with others is your best defense really.
Being on a motorcycle or bicycle is like being a pedestrian, you have the right to be flattened or bumped off the road and those are your only rights, remember that before you tangle with an angry car.
