Whether on the bicycle or the moto, I just smile and wave (and mutter under my breath). Tends to confuse them. [thumbsup]

True Story.  Going down Barloy Canyon Road, into Laguna Seca several years ago, through the back of Fort Ord off Reservation Road, a guy is in front of my brother and I on a streetbike, we are all splitting lanes, two lanes going in by the old turn 9, some yahoo in a car swerves into the middle, blocking the guy leading.   He backs off, starts to go by, and he does it again, he backs off, starts around again, and when the guy does it again, the rider in front of us kicks the car door as hard as he can, dents the sh_t out of it, and also kicks himself over onto his left side.  It was pretty funny, the guy in the car thought we were all together (we weren't), and just kept going.  So watch that door kicking. 

I used to carry big 3/4 nuts in my tank bag, if you drop them in front of a car going 50 or 60 when you go by, they start bouncing and go through either the windshield or radiator.   I had to do it once, maybe 25 years ago, when some guy took my lane splitting really personal and started trying to run me down in a Ford Ranger.  I don't know where they hit on his truck, but he never caught up. 

Now, I just try to blast past them without them knowing I am coming.  I don't give them a chance to spear me.   Ride hard.  Ride aggressive.  Focus.

Driving back from Vegas in the car we had a guy who blocked the left lane by pacing a semi in the right lane.  He kept screwing with us by speeding up and then hitting his brakes. The truck driver saw what this asshole was doing and he hit his brakes to open up a gap in the right lane allowing us to pass.  Once we got around him, this guy who was doing 45 mph in the left lane was now doing 85 mph right on our bumper.  So I took a big bag of quarters we had from the slots and chucked them out the window.  It took out his entire windshield and he pulled off the road.

I honked at someone on their phone who tried to take my lane. I got nothing.

I almost got taken out from behind by some small town broad yapping on her phone honking at me as I was turning into a gas station at an intersection. There were some firefighters who were driving behind her who saw the whole thing. they turned into the lot and told me that she "totally almost crushed you man". I had the shakes for a few minutes, but a Rockstar and a 5 hour energy and I was fine. That's all I got.

Did I ever tell you the story about the Zen master and the little boy?

Oregon drivers are idiots.  Especially related to seeing motorcycles or bicycles.  I am an idiot Oregon driver but hopefully a little better as I ride motorcycles and bicycles.
