You bet it would piss me off if someone was tailgatting me on my motorcycle but that just does not happen to me unless there is too much traffic ahead and no place for me to go.
I am often quite shocked that this works:
when I get tailgated on my cycle. I just make a "back off" waving my left hand in a push back paddling motion. I get very good response and they will back away until one of us can find a way to let the other around.
