Seems like bb's would act like pea gravel and pepper the hell out of the front of the car.

While all of these are good banter, I've been chased twice in my life (once on the way to CC) and it's no fun.  Lord knows what pizzed off the cagers but most likely they were having a bad day.  Both times I had passed them and they decided to keep up.

I think it may make more sense for me to avoid situations like this, but I could have used any of these remedies at the time, just not sure how the reaction would have gone then.

These were remedies back in my youth. It's a different world today and there's too many wackos out there. Today, there's no substitue for HP. Just leave the assholes in the dust and never look back! ;) Hoist! 8)

I think that's the best solution too Howie, it's what I did both of my times and then ditched up the road and waited for my riding buddies that hadn't made the pass.

Therein lies the dilemma.  Take the BB action and wind up with someone bustin' a 9mm cap in you, or try to out run them, or throttle back and let them go on.  All three could be dangerous.

Yeah, but Howie, all the HP and TQ in the world is useless in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to properly employ those tools.  You are a master at handling tweaked up scooters.  I, on the other hand, fear I would end up wrapped around a power line post.

Remember when a coke was a coke?  Ditched as in rode in behind a restaurant.  However, it does get a bit dicey in the turns when really pushing ti and braking deep into them etc.  Much better to lump along and stay out of trouble.

Road Rage Cagers and me don't mix anymore.

Me either.  So I usually lay up and let them go their own way.  Getting chased isn't fun.  Neither is riding beyond my abilities, or the bikes capabilities.

Yeah........and after riding Terry's scooter, I just gotta do that.  Finding a day to get down there and do it that works for both Traxxion Dynamics' schedule and mine is the challenge.

Never do that!!! "A man's got to know his limitations!" Just get better at it! It's fun watching them go up in a dust cloud behind you! ;D Hoist! 8)

Exactly Howie!  And I know my limitations as well as those of my motorcycle.  I lack the skills to push them too far, therefore I usually ride like an old geezer on twisties.  It is still fun, but I prefer to keep the rubber side down............so I'll just mosey along through the twisties.

My buddy Ed told me a good way to get back at cagers. Get a pack of BB's. Open the whole pack and let them spill on the road. It doesn't do any real damage, but gets their attention. Either that or stop them and break out their headlights.

CORN.....I was taught to carry a pocket of dryed corn, which was plentiful since I was raised on a farm, the corn doesn't hurt the environment and even feeds a few birds.

Hoist, didn't you mention using spark plugs, in your youth? Add them to your HP and traxxion= a great show. How much for a ticket? I want front row seats. Of course my SERK wouldn't hang, I might have to make a deal with Chip for this one.
