RE: Who Rides with ammo??
I damn sure dont want to throw anything at a car that would turn me into a hood ornament.To toss coins or ball berings at someone who obviously dosent give a rats azz about your safety to being with,is real stupid.Id have to say most wouldnt do it even if they said they did.I have however slowed way down and stopped,got off the bike and had a nice discussion with the party involved.
One thing that WILL work is this and I use it sometimes myself.A small bottle filed with sodium silicate and WD-40.Put it into those little white plastic bottles with the squirt nipplewith the cap attached to it.Mix the sodium silicate with enough WD-40 to make it liquid enough to spray out the of the bottle.When someone rides your tail,pull out the bottle and sprayit over your shoulder.Itll be hidden from his view and coat his windshield with the oil mist.As soon as he hits his wipers,the sodium silicate will harden and stick his wipers to his windshield.He willl be able to see good enough to get off the road but he most likely wontbe going to far.He wont really be able to say you did anything.

Anyone that would throw objects at a vehicle is not playing with a full deck. Yes there are jerk wads running all over the streets. Problem is you may spin the jerk wad out or cause him to crash but what happens when an innocent bystander is injured or killed by your childish actions. Rise above it and be better than it.

Just wondering how many guys on this forum ride with a pocket full of ball bearings, for those times when your sixth sense is telling you that someone is riding your ***... Only to be confirmed by a quick glance in your mirror. Or when you've got some idiot who switches lanes behind you only to miss your rear tire by a foot and a half? Ball bearings or pennies works pretty well at 70mph.

As far as tailgaters, I just remove myself from the danger at the first possible chance. One hothead + one coolhead= coolhead wins. Hothead + hothead = trouble for everybody.

Get the license number and report it to the police that they attempted to run you over and they were swerving all over the place.

I ride with ammo. Seven rounds in the P3AT, and six in the extra clip.

Still, I don't ride with any firearm. I've thought about it, although I learned a lesson a long time ago when I was carrying a new Ruger .357mag SP101 with me in my car. Visiting a friend back in Houston, I was 99% sure that I was going to have to use it after my car was stuck and a couple of gangsters approached me asking me how much $ I have, etc.I grew up in this neighborhood so I do have "street smarts" and and luckily got out of the situation before it got bad (one was bringing back some of their buddies to "help").... but my point is - if you have it, you're a lot more likely to want to use it or feel like you have to. (Still, I keep it handy most of the time.
On the Harley, I just use my head.

Can't we all just get along???
(It's easy on a bike to just lose a moron, just blow them away. If you get caught, you have a valid excuse that the nice officer will hopefully respect).
