Bottom line, your on a bike,, they are in a cage,, you can't win that battle if a fight breaks out.
Yep. It doesn't matter who was right, who was wrong, or who had the right of way...
In the end the bike gets the short end of the stick.
Even a 1973 Yugo is lethal when you're on a bike.

I hate that too.

I have pulled up to people in town and asked them if it was ok to throw a cigarette in THIER car. (No one really shoots each other up here with road rage). Or ask them if the cig is so disgusting they won't have it thier vehicle, why do I want it in mine?

It probably does nothing, but I feel better after I vent I guess.

Cigarette buts are common (3-4/day),I've had worse.Cold coffee,news papers,gomme and the topper,a well soild diaper.When possible I try to educate cagers by returning there discarded items.

I think I could stand on my own but was taught to try to avoid conflict if possible and if you can't HIT 'em HARD and run your a$$ off.
I was always taught avoid conflict and if you can't -- hit them HARD over and over and over and over again. Then walk, not run, away.

Seriously though....don't get pent up over cigs flying out windows. Sure, it sucks. We have all dealt with it. All I do - if it is really bad -- is give a quick flash of my headlights to them and back off. The driver will most likely correlate the two events (them throwing a butt and you flashing them a second later). That is all you can really do is let them know what they did was not cool withput possibly escalating it into a road rage situation. Of course most of the time I just let it go and cal them a &^%*%( inside my helmet.

I am a smoker too but I never EVER throw them out on the street.Thats what the Ashtray is for.
So, do you never smoke while riding your bike or do you have a magic ashtray that captures and retains the butts and ashes while crusing down the highway?
Well, if this string has taught us anything, it has taught us that cagers with open windows are the road's moving ashtrays. Just ride by and flick 'em in. Extra points if they explode off the passenger side window or door.
