Car eased over to me
The other morning on the way to work, cruising at about 55-60 mph in moderately heavy traffic for 7:30 in eastern NC, I had a car ease over into my lane. Caught me completely off guard. I was right beside his drivers door glass and instinctively stuck my right hand hand and flat handed the glass. Thankfully he THEN realized I was there and jerked back in the lane. Some friends suggested I need an ax handle mounted somewhere but don't think I could have grabbed it fast enough. I was fortunate to have been stable on the bike so that when he jerked back I was none the worse except a little shaken. Anyone else have anything mounted for such an event? Two side mounted Glock's come to mind ;-)

i know members of certain MC's carry ball peen hammers so when something like that happens, the cager has at least 1 new dent somewhere on their vehicle. they've also been known to have a pocket full of ball bearings they'll toss in the air behind them that causes damage as well.
I had that happen a couple of years ago, some bimbo in one of those newer VW Bugs came over into my lane about half way, about the time she swerved back over I was kicking my foot out in an attempt to tell her to get away since my horn didn't do the job, plus also to let her know as a more permanent reminder of, "Hey, look twice next time.", but luckily she saw me and swerved away. Needless to say, I went through the dictionary front to back using every curse word possible in every bit of diversity...

I had a jack-wagon shoot across 4 lanes of traffic & a turn lane right in front of me yesterday. They're out there folks & they're trying to kill us.....I want some form of missile launcher!

They do! I knew a guy a few years back that had one on a Goldwing, he'd let that thing rip nearby and your ears would ring for the rest of the day. I've seen them in magazines or catalogs - don't remember where.

I don't think I've ever used my horn in a traffic emergency type situation. I'm usually too busy doing what I need to do to get out of trouble to think about the horn.
