Post by: He Man on March 25, 2010, 07:54:56 AM 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... Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: WetDuc on March 25, 2010, 08:08:06 AM 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.

I know some HD bikers that use this deterrent.. Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: Monster Dave on March 25, 2010, 09:46:49 AM 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. Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: Popeye the Sailor on March 25, 2010, 11:28:16 AM 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. Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware!

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. Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: Popeye the Sailor on March 25, 2010, 12:27:54 PM I think he had some sort of mopar. [cheeky]

Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: hatewinter on March 25, 2010, 05:36:29 PM awesome
Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: abby normal on March 26, 2010, 03:14:53 AM 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. Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware!

It's the single most hated thing about riding for me. It's called a tank bag. Title: Re: Tailgaters Beware!

Post by: zenjim on March 28, 2010, 05:41:37 AM I can't argue with his defense:
"Speaking before his arrest, he said: ''Everybody wants a flame thrower on a motor bike.'" Case closed! Title: Re: Tailgater's Beware! Post by: mraff on March 29, 2010, 05:24:44 PM Man rides scooter; man develops anger issues..... He should have claimed it was an afterburner.
