Psycho car driver
ok, so here is the situation. A group of us were riding in the center lane. I pulled into the left lane to speak to the lead rider. Then a car came up on my bumper blairing the horn. I moved into the middle lane, he pulled up and yelled at me, i extended my middle finger and he tried to run us off the road. We gave way to a chase (which i know i should not do!!!) but this guy was out of control. Does anyone have some good PAYBACKS for a psycho driver like this? I know the marble trick but this guy would have run over me. Anything from behind the vehicle or at a safe distance.

after that, you can always just let the douchebag be a douchebag.
he pulls up, yells, gets a smile in return, speeds off thinking he's king kong then goes home to find his wife in bed with jamal.
******** like that don't have good days. especially ******** who lose it at the drop of a hat. they're too high strung. 8 times out of 10 you're gonna have a better day than him. 10 times out of 10 when you're on the bike you're gonna have a better day than him.

If you're in the hammer lane, you better be hammering. I hate to be poking along in the fast lane behind somebody that's holding me up. Doesn't matter how fast he's going.
Throwing marbles and stuff at a vehicle that's several times as big as you are may get you hurt bad. Never forget the "Law of Tonnage".

Just a quick question...Ive heard several people talking about tossing marbles and or bearings at those ****** in cars doing stupid things on the road, but who in the hell has a hand full of marbles when they're riding on a freeway? Do you keep this garbage balled up in your leathers? I go out on my bike to ride with friends and take the wife out for a quiet ride in the evening. I don't prepare for battle! Start putting war paint on your faces like the cast in Braveheart and I'll know to change lanes when I see you coming.

Let the moron go about his day.
You are on, at best, an 850# vehicle that is inherently unstable and offers zero crash protection...Mr. potato head is in a steel framed vehicle that weighs at least 1500# or MORE and offers every level of crash protection demanded by the nanny state, and then some.
You can be Rambo and throw stuff at him, sure. On the off chance that you survive the altercation (road rage is a very dangerous sport) you win bragging rights to all your pals.
Before you load yer pockets with steel tho, make sure your will is up to date and failing that, your criminal defense lawyer is caught up on his retainer $$ cuz if you get caught, you'll need every penny.

When riding in a group, you need to get everything worked out before you hit the road, and break formation or use verbal communication only in emergencies. That may sound **** and petty, but people can get killed when group rides become disorganized, whether or not there's a car or truck involved. If you want to start throwing stuff at other vehicles, you'd better trade your Harley for a sport bike.
