When I was younger , dumber and not as many guns around here I use to carry one of those climbers resin bags filled with Pennys. If you tossed something at Me I would do a ride by and toss a handful of Pennys in the air. I got real accurate at having them land right on the hood and windsheild from 2 car lengths ahead of them.

If it does, 911 will be called and I will follow them wherever they go. That is pure BS. I hate litterbugs, our country has enough problems without garbage all over the shoulders. I don't make a habit of it, but I can stuff a cellphone up inside my helmet and keep riding with both hands. Have done it before, lmao.

I agree, return the favor any chance you can. Be it returning their Mc'D's bag, or being shot at with a paint ball gun. Usually the first person to call 911 has the law on their side. Unlike the guy who got arrested for following and facing off with his offender. Nobody will look out for you any better than you!

I was headed home on a curvy road, got behind this slow moving Ford Falcon . Riding close behind waiting to pass, while waiting , the driver of the Falcon turned off and on the ignition a few times . ((( POW ))) .. Got home , took off my sun glasses and jacket, went in the house and my wife starts pointing her finger at me and laughing her *** off. Then tells me to go look in the mirror . I bet the guy in the Ford Falcon was laughing too, whatea bet :-)

I was riding through Hobema once and got caught behind a schoolbus. All the kids rushed to the windows put em down and started to toss various school supplies out the windows. As I gunned it past this one little kid makes eye contact with me ***** back his arm and throws an eraser at my head. Great bunch o kids there!

Talking

Just a last thought I always carry a few 3/4" nut's in he old vest while riding when Mr. Asshat deliberately tries to hit me with something or does car crowding thing , drop a gear get a handful and go round hard and about 2 car lengths ahead just toss them puppies over the shoulder . If it doesn't star the windshield it sure wakes them up .
