Default It's raining and roads are greasy

So I'm on the way home from work and it's sunny,humid an 88 degrees. I get half way home and Wham! A sudden down pour. Now this is my second time in the rain but the roads where so friggin hot you could see the grease laying on the road. It's 70% twisties back to the house so I'm taking it easy about becuase my rear tire is toast. I look back and there's a BMW touring bike behind me, no big deal. I come up to the stop sign ( my drag strip ) He pulls along side of me so I look over and say a friendy " Hey what's up? ) He looks at me and takes off first! The roads dried up at bit closer to the house and I though about catching him, I few nice sweepers I could of blown right past him, but I decied not to press my luck.

So my question is...It's that an acceptablemove or just a bone head rider?
