WANT!!!! i had some dumb taxi riding next to me, he slows down, goes behind me and the car in front of me is braking and he just starts to plow foward and honks the shit out at me and gives me the finger. I look back and start acting crazy and he starts backing off.
Now if i had a flame thrower...
A flame thrower is a great idea. I've always wanted a rock holder that I could keep a special rock in to use on tailgaters. It's the single most hated thing about riding for me.
3/4" ball bearing over the shoulder, bang windshield....
I know some HD bikers that use this deterrent..
As much as tailgater's annoy us, I think that actions like that are only a recipe for a bad road rage related situation.

Theres merrit behind it 50% of the time.
I um, knew a friend who had a syringe full of oil and a tube that ran from the dash of his car to the center carb in his car.
A nice squirt of that made a foul smoky mess, which, given the year of the car, one would assume it was no intentional, but something one would not want on their car. Worked wonders for making people back off.
It was absolutely rotten when it got done to a guy in a new mustang convertible with the top down.

So is that black cloud out of an old Ford Falcon or a Kaiser? ;D
In the truck I just throw a quick downshift where appropriate. On the bike I try to get the hell away from the 'gater. Usually a simple thing to do.
I think he had some sort of mopar. [cheeky]

Mexican food from the night before? :o
Nice, I have that same helmet. Now I need that flame thrower.
awesome
not sure if its still around, but a few years back, a guy in south africa developed / marketed
a side-shooting multiple outlet flamethrower as a 'car jacker deterrent'. F-ing awesome to
see it in action. flames shot up and out from under the doors. pretty easy to find
a you-tube if you're interested.

It's called a tank bag.
Whoops, looks like the Nanny State disapproves:

I can't argue with his defense:
"Speaking before his arrest, he said: ''Everybody wants a flame thrower on a motor bike.'"
Case closed!
Man rides scooter; man develops anger issues..... He should have claimed it was an afterburner.
