Most stealers sell HD motorcycle boots with a metal HD logo fastened with screwsto the side of the heels. Works well for venting ...

I agree with everyone on this tread that have stated you will never win.
Personally I don't close the gap to 1/2 car length. If the guy is 12" off my tire I slow down even more but not suddenly. Let them pass. Let them flip me off. Let them yell and cuss and scream at you. At least your alive.
Chances are you will eventually catch up to them sooner or later. And half the time when they are away from their cars, they will be embarrassed beyond belief when you come face to face with them.

When I said a 1/2 a car length that was an estimate, in other words with bumper to bumper traffic and 60MPH (he was not slowing down for the semi ahead of him in his lane at all) I did not want him to cut in front of me and not relize his car was longer than he thought which clips my front tire (beside him/behind him what is the difference to him?). Remember I said he pulled in 12" off my rear tire and there might have beena car length behind me to begin with. What happened to the car behind me? I was trying to live not find out what happened to the car that was behind me. I got the Fu** out of his way as soon as I could. He was a fu***ng maniac that moved ahead by 15' total.

You never knowwho's on crack, or some other drugs the way they drive. Some of these people are psyco and believe they are invincible.I've done my best not to flip them off anymore. It doesn't do anything to promote our great sport.
Now I make it a point to waive to the little kids in the carsand watch their faces brighten up and smile while they waive back. That does more for me than anything else. Kidslove to waive to bikers.

Heard on radio today a bike was ran off the highway in the windriver
mountains / canyon area of Northern Wyoming. Didn't catch all the details.
But a Maroon car (possibly a chrysler) and a semi truck was involved.
Police are looking for the car especially as it is the one that cut the biker off.
Car and semi did NOT stop, truck was behind car and should of seen it happen.
Biker was killed.
If anyone saw it or knows anything as to identity of car please call the Wyoming Highway patrol.

Okay, here's my plan:
Take a roll of pennies...
J.B. Weld them to a Rocket Launcher!
Whaddya think, will this work??
More importantly,
Will it void my warranty???

RE: Road rage/aggressive drivers?
On a comical point:
The Rocket Launcher will not void your warranty as long as you use the HD Rocket Launcher they are working on now, should be available mid 2023 if not sooner.
I want to use the small washer jug filled with OLD used diesel crankcase oil. Comes out of a hidden pipe in drops that cannot be seen and when the air hits it will vaporize into many small drops that will hit the windsheld of the car behind you. He will not know what just hit him until it rains out then the fun starts.
Don't pi** off the cages

What,s bad is when you get pushed out of a lane, then look at the back window of the truck that just cut you off and see the HD logo.
