I guess I live in a sheltered place, If you had of did that window breaking garbage around here either to a crackhead with no teeth or a lil old lady or even a loudmouth punk, most likely your *** would be sitting in the can waiting bail.And I wont bother to come up there to see how lawlessness rules. I like a civilized state.
BTW dont go to Texas and try any garbage like that either you might not wake up to see the morning...
They dont play BS games like that and they are better armed than most Georgians
Its your world boss, intimidate who you can, just be careful out there

I had somecrackhead in a Toyota Tercel decide to tailgate me a couple ofweeks afterI bought my sporty. I tried to wave him back and tried to wave him by as well.I even flashed my brakelight at him once to no avail.
I saw the jerk pull into the gas station so I whipped into the next driveway, grapped neutral, and threw down the kickstand. I walked over to him to see what hisproblem was and he wouldn't open the window past a crack. I grabbed the window and pulled it towards me effectively opening it for him the hard way. with his window in a million piecesthe toothless ba$tardwas extremely apologetic.
Exactly which part?
Hey I'm no keyboard commando, and I have nothing to prove. C'mon to Milwaukee WI and I'll show you how the people in a city with one of, if not the highest crimes rate in the US live.
My story goes back 20 years, and way before I rode my first Harley. It's a memory that never fades ...
Sitting at a red light on my Honda Fireblade, a sports car with music on full volume pulls up next to me. About 5 teenagers crammed into the car, looking at me, jumping up and down like freakin' demons, wanting a race. The kid driving the car was probably no older than 17 and was revving the sh*t out of his machine. I just shook my head and looked forward. The road ahead was straight, with nothing in front and when the light turned to green, I had probably hit 60mph in first gear before he managed to reach for the gas pedal. I just wish I had been in the car when those little pussies realised that they should never mess with two wheels.
Now, I'm 20 years older and hopefully a little wiser, I probably wouldn't do the same thing ... but it's a great memory. The thing I love about the Sportster, is that it has the ability to do the same thing if I wanted it to.
That.... Is what I .... am talking about!!! I get tired of everyone always saying things like: "The Sportster isn't a fast bike anyway"....Top end speed.... No..... Off the line.... The Sportsters are fast ... Not the fastest out there by any means... But faster than most.... And it is fun to surprise people off the line.... Like 600 series rice rockets...... Or those little puzzies intheir cager [8D]
Not to hijack the thread or anything but I have a follow on question to all these macho actions which I would never do because of the fear of psychos with weapons that's already been brought up. Do we have any LEGAL options at all when these kind of things happen? I know there's lots of LEO's on this forum - does it do any good to get a license plate number and call the authorities or does it dojust as much good to pull over, dismount, and **** into the wind?
Actually it can do some good to call it in. If it's a local person they will usually send out a car to interview the idiot. He may not get a ticket or get arrested but it puts him on the LEO's radar. You might get lucky and get a LEO that rides (like me before I retired). It's amazing what you can find to write somebody if you have the opportunigy. Dang license plate lights burn out all the time.

good to hear the advice from the former LEO. remember I never advocated chucking sparkplugs or plulling pistols. I was just reciting a story from the 60s and also thanking the NRA for keeping my right to CCL.
My personal opinion is to avoid confrontation when possible. but thanks to castle doctrine in TX, we now have the right to stand our ground when forced.
last summer I had a coal truck screw with me , which resulted in me throwing a hand full of change at his windshield then riding like an idiot to get away from him. after thinking about it I decided I had pulled just about the most stupid stunt to date in my 36 years of riding motorcycles . the math just dont add up 40 tons vs 1/4 ton Im gonna lose every time. the smart thing to do would of been hit the brakes let him go and dial 911 . now a little stop light to stop light *** whooping on a jackass with a snotty cage is a different story.
I dig the story, and I won't lie, I would have done the same thing. Especially if there is not much traffic. You gotta be a kid sometime, the spirit of youth is what keeps us healthy.
