'Cagers'. How unfortunate.

From personal experience it makes no difference whatsoever, with a rifle across my back I was chased and run off the road

A long time ago I was rabbit hunting on an old XT yamaha. I used to ride to where I went hunting with my rifle slung over my back.

I never got a second glance.

This particular day I was down a back trail. I saw a possum in the middle of the track, and just for an instant suffered brain fade.

I attempted to kick the possum as I rode past, my mind telling me it would arc through the air like a well kicked rugby ball.

I was wrong. It was like kicking a post.

I fell off, bending my rifle like a banana. I broke the headlight, bent the handle bars, and several toes.

The ride to the hospital was made in extreme pain, on a badly bent motorcycle with a banana shaped gun on my back.

I never got a second glance.

Its proof. motorcyclists are invisible.

Maybe this is the solution then.

Now that is an epic tale. I love it. Been there on the kicking front, seems like such a great idea.......I never came off but holy cow it hurt:shit:

I find doing "Crazy Ivan" tactics work to give errant motorists a wide berth of me or a wake up call. I just proceed to "warm up" my tyres by a series of rapid left to right motions, which results in a desirable reaction that dissuades errant motorists from sharing my space!

Works 9 out of 10 times, with the occasional non-compliant motorist, I let them get ahead of me (for some reason these types always try to "beat" motorcyclists) or I get some other poor motorist take the brunt of their attentions by using them as a shield! :innocent:

(I note that large falcodores, utes, 4x4s, drivers wearing hats and other stereotypical types are mostly responsible for this!) :shifty:

Driving over the AK habour bridge this morning,,,some bright spark had run up the arse of the barrier shifting truck/thing,,,work that one out.
So sorry,,for some people the "threat" of guns will never work,,,,because they wouldn't see em' would they!.

Ah I was on a Honda when it happened, maybe that was the problem although I was just the passenger

You might have been weaving but it wouldn't warm your tyres up

You do realise everything I said was in jest? Weaving to "warm up" tyres is just the excuse to engage in prolific movements from side to side! :msn-wink: I do believe that only tyre warmers and extended riding will generate sufficient heat over time! (or having burnouts ... ) or if the bike catches on fire (improbable, but does happen when impacts are devastating!) or if some small mite with a magnifying glass starts trying to burn holes into it ... or if some hot chick starts rubbing her oiled body over it ...

But thanks for that! :yes: I will add that into my usual explanation of why I do crazy ivans (I weave side to side, which appears to be trying to warm up my tyres, but does diddly-squat in reality)

Classic... if that can't be seen there is no hope for us :no:

People do tend to see through us... but what about you? I rolled onto a rifle once (jumped from a height), It was still straight but I wasn't ... kinda hurt:cry:.

I used to go out to the Waitaki River with my .22 slung over my shoulder on my XL175 and my Z400 later on. Always waited for the time when I got pulled over by the cops or got a negative reaction from a road user but it never happened.
