I think "ball-bearings" would do the trick.......

I'm seriously thinking about that.....

you could actually drop one in front of the tailgater without him knowing........

 

I just had an experience with a tailgater today, while riding home from work. Someone in a beat up car, looked like an old Accord, kept getting on my tail and wouldn't back off. Finally I just slowed down until the person was crawling along with me and they passed, if I had some pennies or a spark plug on me I would have just "accidentally" dropped them into the car.

 

I was told by an old biker he used to carry wd-40 or something equal to it he kept hanging somewhere on his bars and woud give it a couple good squirts over his shoulder. When they hit the wipers they were looking for a place to pull over and clean it off. Could be a tale but by the way he rides I kind of believe it. I slow down and let them go around 700 lbs vs 5000 lbs = big trouble and a lot of pain!

 

All the people advocating throwing crap as a "defense" lose a lot of respect from me (not that anyone probably cares). I just don't see how endangering more than just the offender can ever be justifiable.

At best you're just throwing crap on the roads - at worst you could cause an ugly chain reaction. If you have enough issues where you need to go out armed - so to speak - maybe you need to look at how you're riding.

I think the best policy is to just get away from them with whatever works best in the situation throttle, brake, or turn off. I can't think of anyone worth spending five minutes of my time in county (or worse) over a road rage incident.

 

What? Say what?

 

I carry a little plastic baggie with about 2 ounzes of motor oil in it. Just hold the bag beside you and squeeze........the oil disperses into the air and lands on their windshield. Quite funny when they turn on their wipers to clean the windshield.........Muahahaha!

 

Get them to go around us in any safe way as possible. Unfortunately, it's against the law to turn and shoot them. It should be fairly legal for, to unholster and fire on someone, the 3 ( Mossad Ayoob) criteria must be present..Ability, Opportunity and Jeopardy . Someone chasing me down with a ton+ vehicle, has all 3.
I do my best to keep my cool and the moron in front of me.

 

I don't, but I heard once from an old biker to carry your old sparkplugs in your vest pocket (I assume this was back when you had to change them often). Just toss one of those over your shoulder and if needed, you can opt out as it flew out of your pocket be accident.
I like the glass marble idea, besides it gives you something to do in the dirt when your bored. I wonder where my "Shooter" is. J/K

 

No brakechecking here, actually , had not heard of it. Now hitting your brakes so you wouldn't hit that poor dog that ran in front of you, is another thing. Wouldn't want to hurt the poor animal , would you?

 

He's probably talking to his crack dealer which he has on speed dial of course and doesn't even SEE you!Get out of his way and hope that someday you will see his *ss out some where and ,well you get the picture.
