Maybe it's just me but I don't tailgate close enough to get hit w/WW fluid.

They're out there folks. In full force. Watch out, be careful, and ride safe. Rant over.
Windshield washer fluid! In upstate NY! You REALLY don't want to ride in a Florida Frog Strangler downpour!.........

I have seen my fair share of idiots doing stupid things in cars or just being rude or obnoxious. But think about this for just a moment, don't you think it is just as rude or disrespectful for a bike with obviously non street legal compliant extremely loud pipes to ride up next to someone in a car especially when they have the window down.
I mean people in cars or bikes deserve equal respect and there is a reason for pipes to be street legal.
So this goes both ways guys.

If you are going to ride a motorcycle, you should expect, and prepare, to be hit with just about anything. Comes with the territory. It sucks, but it's reality.

You sound surprised, but it happens all the time.

Hopefully, the next time it happens to you, it will be just seconds AFTER he flicks out his lit cigarette butt, and his windshield washer fluid extinguishes your pants leg and/or jacket.

Semi truck lost a radiator hose, that sucked. And I know he meant to do it.

Guess I've been lucky, in all my years of riding not really had too many of these and for the past year or so, been riding to work nearly every day when it was above 40.

Damn karma's commin' now, crap.

great idea. lets fight stupid with stupid. i can't believe how many people think that that foreign object that they plan on throwing/bouncing/etc.... at someone mysteriously vaporizes after their incident is over. more often than not, some innocent is going to be the recipient of your 'love' instead of the intended target.

really no reason for a rant on this. and you don't know if his 'sudden urge' was brought on by a huge bug splat or not. washing one's windshield does not make one 'oblivious'. if you don't want to get wet, don't ride so close.

I was gonna say that, but wanna point out that other cars will see any gap between you and the car in front of you as a place to squeeze in at high speeds
