Well after your bike gets scraped and you are still upright and full of anger, stand up, reach into your pants and throw handfulls of fresh $hit.

(you needed to clear that out of there anyway)

2" diameter ball bearings? Sure, I got me a pair. Hardened chrome steel, too. They clang together when I walk. Damn nuisance.
And I'm not throwing them at any clueless soccer-mom-mobile either.

Hey Miniwolf. Not sure how you roll in the midwest, but here in NY when you buy a new bike the dealer gives you a starter set of 2" ball bearings. Back in the day, they used to just have a give away box filled with the ball bearings by the door. Sometimes we like to wail spark plugs to change things up.

One guy I ride with carries a set of old pistons to throw at offending cars. The best is a guy I know who carries his old 96" motor (he converted to the new 120R) which he hoists at trucks.

Seriously though, I'm sure most of us have wanted to act on these impulses, but likely haven't.
