TWTK: How do you deal with irate drivers on the road?

[Tenchi]

One website says 10 #4 ball bearings. Another says a spark plug. I personally don't have pockets I can reach easily into to get such items nor condone destruction/damage of property, and since my bike can only do 170 max (140km/h "safely" without adverse effects on handling ability) outrunning them is not an option either.

So how do you handle cage drivers who are just c*nts on the road and feel it's their god given right to run you out of your lane?

I believe that some remove a mirror or two to exact retribution.

I flip the bird, and twist the throttle.

Extendable baton in the fairing FTW

I just bank on the fact I'm bigger/scarier/uglier than the other person, and pull over. If they want to sort it out outside of their little security bubble, so be it. Plus theres the added bonus of then they usually fuck off anyway, so you can continue your journey without said twat around.

Most cagers will not pull up and will keep going on there way.
They would have to be stupid to take on a bike rider in all his gear.

staring at them long and hard through a tinted visor seems to unsettle them a bit. and it would help if you were rather large

Nothing works, everyone is a hero in their car, don't waste your time, don't go getting stressed over it, you'll just wind up angry and impotent with a dodgy heart or something. They won't learn, they won't behave differently 2 minutes down the road. They are like that for life.

[Flamedance]

Blocking their advance into your lane with a well placed boot into the door works quite well... Not that I condone this action...A friend of a friend knows someone who...Ah you get the point!

Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave. (Oh yeah and the tinted visor stare works a treat)

+1. Works a treat. Even with fooly sick khunce in commonwhores.

[shmoo]

another one that works really well is keeping a little note pad and pen in a pocket. When you get to the next lights, stop right next to them and pull out your pad and pretend to write down their details.

But as Taylor said - it wont achieve anything, but it might give you some satisfaction seeing the look on their faces.

[taint]

just wave as you filter through at the next set of lights, they LOVE that Not recommended for long roads where they can catch up and cause you trouble. Just pull over and let the dickheads past. Not worth the aggravation.

i just ride my motorbike right over the top of their car. cos i'm awesome.

Put as much space between you and them as fast as possible.

Not many bikes win a car versus bike contest.

Make friends with bikers gangs and get them 2 watchya bak, alternatively get Q from james bond to retro fit your bike with gadgets ie oil slick, gun turrents (paintball gun would be cool).
