This thread is great! I'm stuck at work and it helped kill some time. Yeah I don't think I would hit anyone's car with a hammer or any other object-good way to get dead or in trouble for sure. Sure I just pissed at cagers all the time, but I just give them a nice rev shot and let them know they are #1 in my book, but I do not get close to there car. Two wrongs don't make a right and in this case the person with the hammer would be more wrong.

From the Urban Dictionary:
"1. traffic cop
A blunt force object (such as a hammer or crowbar), carried on a motorcycle, used to extract revenge. When a vehicle is driven too carelessly next to a rider, and they are subsequently almost run over, the "traffic cop" is withdrawn from its respective sheath, and used to smash the windshield of the offending party.
"I fitted the frame of my bike with a traffic cop. Ya know....Just in case."

Try that here in NY and just see who winds up speaking to a cop or judge to arrange bail. (Hint- it won't be the cager. You won't be able to outrun a cell phone call to 911 by the guy whose car you just smacked with a hammer.)

The old timer chucking hammers you are speaking of is THOR.
He rides a chariot, not a Harley. Then again... thousands of years ago I suppose a bad-*** chariot would be the equivelant of today's Harley. I guess the "old timers" then used rope to hang rocks under their open chariots to **** of the fully enclosed "cager" chariots.
It is also possible, as seen in the picture, that THOR is partially responsible for today's Harley fashion and styling - maybe even more so than the gay pirate Jonny Depp look.
You'll also notice that THOR is sporting what is obviously a NON-DOT Helmet. The government was much more lienent then and even allowed wings on your lid.

I hate to admit this, but in my younger days I got mad at a vehicle for almost merging over ON TOP of me, in traffic. I kicked at the car with my right foot as I passed it, and accidentally struck the left side mirror of the car, with my ankle. I think I may have cracked the plastic housing that holds the mirror to the car, but I DEFINITELY hurt my ankle. It was a "not on purpose" type thing, but I was young and scared so I got the hell out of there. Ankle was so swollen the next morning that I could not see actual ankle bone that sticks out, and I looked like I had a morbidly obese persons "cankle" (which is no being able to see where the calf ends and the ankle begins, due to excess fat). I have a buddy that still likes to tell that story, but it makes me cringe because my ankle was screwed and hurt for weeks.
