I tried posting this twice in general chat and couldn't get it done. I was riding home tonight about eleven thirty, a mile or less from home, in a very rural area. When behind me I hear a bottle hit the pavement. I asked my wife if she heard and she said that she didn't. My brother and I went back and sure enough there was what was left of a beer bottle in the road. Some azzhat had actually thrown a bottle at us. we circled the area a few times but they were either gone or laying low in the woods. be careful out there, a lot of crazies everywhere you go. Saran wrap across the road out west, fishing line in va. and damned beer bottles in Ga.
Thats fu#$*N outrageous. People like that need to be pounded,an arrest and a court date does not suffice. Glad to hear that you and the wife are ok though.

I have had a drink thrown atg me twice. Once was a fountain drink that was like 32 or 44 ounces. It went over my left shoulder and got me a little wet. The other was a beer can that hit me square in the chest.... hurt pretty damn bad. Bother were on the freeway.
I think some people just dont like bikers, or there mad because they dont have a bike. I got free tickets to the Craftsman Truck race at Kentucky Motor speedway so me a 3 of my buddies rode to the track, on the way home back in Indiana at midnight (about a 80 mile trip) on I65 some guy in a little sports car started coming over in my lane looking right at me just trying to scare me, you could see him laughing. I dont know what people are thinking, glad you didnt get hit by the bottle
Things such as this is why we have a thread on here asking who is packing when they ride. Road rage and incidents like this are going to just keep getting worse and worse and we have to be able to defend ourselves (life and limb these days). Personally, I own a lot of firearms but I never carry one when riding or in the cage. I travel too much to be concerned about a concealment charge. But that may change soon....
Years ago a friend and I were riding around town, there was an old man standing on a street corner with a walking cane, wetook off from a red light and luckily, I wasn't very close to the curb, when Iwent by, he tried to reach out and hit me with his cane, for no reason mind you.
When I had the V65 Magna, I didn't worry when someone tried to F* with me on the road, I could just twist the throttle and leave them in my wake. With the Hog, that isn't an option most of the time........
