Right, that does it

[Calo]

I'm buying a water pistol tomorrow and filling it with brake fluid.

Today was the last straw. I was happily :ride: along the Great South Rd near Takanini when a carload of boyracer monkeys (who had been sitting behind me for a while) thought it would be funny to drive up right alongside me (on my left, all of about 1 ft away). I put my foot into this dickhead's door but as he was so close (couldn't get decent swing of the leg) and the fact that I was only wearing trainers, I doubt I caused any damage. :slap:

Funnily enough, this mirrored an incident I had on the same section of road only 1-2 months after I started riding in late 2004. It may be a nice wide stretch of road but the traffic flow is single file and pricks forcing their way into my lane like that completely blocks off a potential escape route, should I need to avoid a hazard etc., not to mention the fact that it's just downright arrogant bully-boy tactics. :weird: :nono: :tugger:

Unfortunately, I didn't get the number plate today but I noticed the vehicle in question had a 'For Sale' sign in the rear window. A few blasts with blake fluid would've devalued that asshole's car quite nicely. A blast to the side of his face through the open window would've been poetic justice too. :yes:

I swear I'll be ready the next time some clown pulls a similar stunt...probably won't have to wait long :mad: :2guns: :motu:

[T.I.E]

oh evil and clever i like it, will you be having a holster too?
but i like the idea brake fluid on the paint hmmmm.
super soaker time.

[deathstar]

or have a smirky james bond box of tacs and empty em in front of him see those alloy tyres go down with a pop

[NotaGoth]

Memorize the number plate. Track them down. Pour it all over the car. Enjoy boys :violin:

[Waylander]

Ooh good idea. Got me a water gun that looks real too. That aught to put the shits up them.

[Brian d marge]

Been there... know how you feel..........thought about this subject deeply for 20 odd years .....
The correct thing to do is take the number down,,,BUT as the tui ad says ,,,yeah right

A water pistol leaks,,,dribbles down where ever you leave it ,,,,AND doesnt get the effect one requires

THE MIRROR ( and bugger off quickly) approach works wonders....

drive on the right hand side knock on the window, window comes down ,,,,say POLITELY -insert abuse here- ( makes things worse ) then remove said mirror either by boot or gloved hand ( carefull Volvos are difficult,,,dont ask it hurt !!!)

then if you still have mirror throw it into car,,,,,,THEN bugger off real quick cos large amounts of DOO DOO is now hitting fan,

This method has been CYENTIFFIKALLY tested ....

Failing that and auto centre punch does wonders for windows * doesnt work with XP though !( nothing does )

Um... riiiight... :no:
Just don't get run over when they retaliate with a side-swipe.

[Brian d marge]

trust me the mirror works..... ( It works on the manhood principle, the more expensive or work that has gone into the car the smaller the drivers err willy is ,,,So by belittling the size of his manhood or by removing appendages that it doesnt need or use ,,,you send a direct message.

It works ...8 years as a London DR ...

exactly what I was thinking...
they'll run into you if you be too bad to those types..

...and you're still here with us today ????:first:

[Harry33]

I live in Takanini, any idea what sort of boy racer car it was. I have had boy racers pull up along side me and beep horn, rev engine etc. It pissed me off big time when I had my L plate on. Thank god I now have my restricted and have taken the"Red flag" away from the bull.

[Cibby]

oh i like it,... to make things easier you could mount the previously mentioned weapon descreetly onto the front of the bike... someone else can figure out how..

my bf brought me spidi gloves for christmas, not only do they have hard knuckles for destroying wing mirrors, they also have two patches of this stuff that "caution - will remove paint"

nice of spidi to think of that.. scratch the paint all the way along before you take off the wing mirror.

[kro]

This was a constant battle for me when riding the FZR thru East tamaki especially, and Howick. I tried a wing mirror job once on Te Irirangi Drive, and it invoked mass hysteria from the occupant of the Mitsi, and it was at that point, that I was grateful for 1000cc, and an indepth knowledge of the industrial area close by, that perhaps prevented me being knocked off by an angry cage driver.
If you are gonna inflict damage in retaliation, my advice is have some horses under you to allow you to move away quickly. Dont "mirror" a WRX whilst riding your VT250, unless you know you can get the hell out of there.

[The_Dover]

Why not get an old window washer pump, a small reservoir and a couple of discreetly placed, side facing, jets and stash them under your tail section somewhere. A little thumb trigger on the bars and hey presto just drive along side and let rip with the brake fluid.

They'd never even know.

[Postie]

$12.99 from repco, big yellow can called paint off or somthing, anyway its paint stripper in a conveient spray can, its lethal and you can see the paint staring to bubble as soon as you spray it on. Good for stripping paint or leaving messages on one's paint work. :yeah:

hmmmm..

so perhaps i should wait until i get my thou yeah??? my 250 aint so fast.. :(

[bugjuice]

yeah, I've never really seen brake fluid do much damage, and it ain't for tryin. As postit says, this can of paint stripper is really bad news. The paint just cripples up within seconds and cuts thru a few layers. Awesome stuff.
Someone once told me that shaving cream can discolour paint too, and it goes on your face...?? :blink:
Get the big yellow can. You'll love it

[Postie]

Someone once told me that shaving cream can discolour paint too, and it goes on your face...?? :blink:


yup, it strips the clear top coat, doesn't damage the actuall paint, but seen a car with JUST MARRIED left on the car permanently after being put on with shaving cream.

[Grahameeboy]

hmmmm..

Nah just unzip those new leathers of yours.......

[T.W.R]

As Brian/D said the old takeout the wing mirror is the best attack, if done right it not only wrecks the mirror but will also damage the panel area around it. A good mate of mine that i rode with for years is now a Motorcycle courier in london ( actually into his 6th yr doing it) and on average he reckons he'll have a close call once a week & get clipped or knocked down monthly, he & the crew he works with (Atomic couriers i think the outfits called) all adhere to the mirror defence.
2 of the blokes i used to ride with worked in engineering factorys & they used to carry a pocket full of old nuts & bolts, any close calls & the offending vehicle got a handful of these across the bonnet & windscreen which usually effective also.

Exactly what I was thinking. And thinking the same thing as The_Dover scares me. A lot :eek5:

[Fatjim]

DFWM. "Don't F#$% with motorcyclists" is a message we need to get out there. If your going to spray paint something spray paint that.

I'd like to see it painted around the country and everyone going, WTF does that mean.

Kind of like crop circles.

[Pathos]

Ummm, becareful squirting paint stripper while traveling at speed. Who knows where its going to go.

Or have a plane with one of those messages on the flag. Maybe it will make the news. :spudguita

[Grahameeboy]

Do nothing other than shrug shoulders and ignore the twats I say.....not worth taking the chance of having to look over your shoulders next day....they will soon get bored if you do not react cause that is what they are seeking......best to be forgotten not remembered......

You are a ruthless little **** Postie I'll give you that.

Bugger to hear about those arseholes mate. I seem to be getting it more and more often in CHCH after moving from Blenheim. The best you can do is just get out of there as fast and as safely as possible. Don't invoke something that might get you hurt or at worst, killed.

[Cibby]

Nah just unzip those new leathers of yours.......


har har har......

why?? does that work for you?? haha

or.. does anyone remember the drag sceen in the movie "Grease" where the bad guy in the black car has spear head like thingies on his wheels that cut through the panels of Danny's car??

THink we could modify our mags for that????

Just a thought.

[Grahameeboy]

Only if they are gay.... and I go 'commando style'!!!!

[oldrider]

Cagers and other road wankers are part of the environment we live in on bikes.

When you consider how the odds are stacked against us, evasive action and avoidance are still our best protection.

I must confess riders in the city or urban areas are at greater risk than rural riders.

If you really want to get even do it when you are less vulnerable than they are.

Don't get mad. Get smart then get even, make it really count and make it long lasting. :Pokey: Cheers John.

[nudemetalz]

My opinion is that if retaliation is going to happen, best that you're not on a bike at the time. Best to get the number plate and go visiting one evening. Do the damage then when you're not in danger. As people have said here, you really want to be chased??
I know that my ZX-10 can outrun a WRX easy-peesy but if I'm sitting at the lights and get knocked forward into traffic by the said irate WRX driver then who's better off ? A bit of paint damage vs a life.....:no:

[Pixie]

Unfortunately, the water pistol idea probably won't go,unless you find one that isn't molded from styrene.
Otherwise you'll just find you have a sticky blob in your pocket.

"Is that a melted water pistol in your pocket? or were you just over exited to see me?

If you use any kind of spray at speed some of it will get your bike due to turbulence.

I favour driving 3 or 4 nails into the side of your boot heels and cutting off the heads with side cutters.These can be used to scrape the side of offending cars and don't have the need to have enough room for a decent kick.
And the occupants may not even know you've done it.

This is called the dragon's craw....(sorry claw)

[Brian d marge]

The key to the mirror method is - the buggering off- when the buggering off is performed correctly and with sufficient haste ,,,all should be well

buggering off is in itself a fine art , and should never be attempted at the start of say the motorway , or the great south road.. and that the road in question does indeed have an exit ...

Remember when in the process off Buggering off great creativity is called for ,, such as the use of public parks , ( you can get a honda 550 four under the barrers that stop pushbike)

Finally, remember that even a 50cc scooter can successfully bugger off from the fastest porche, IF the act of the buggering off is performed with skill and dexterity !


Stephen

Ps ..Remember that the skill of buggering off is an highly developed art and The writer will not be held responsible for any act of buggering off that goes pear shaped. You should then seek advice from the TOAST corporation (NZ) LTD

[Rincewind]

Remember guy's what goes round comes round.
It's a lot more sensible to ignore these twats than to take your eye of the ball and get all outa shape over it.
I would rather have the plonkers in front of me at a safe distance !!

Every time a bikey gets involved in a bit of road rage it lowers public opinion of us all !!!

By all means get even if you must, but do it steathily !!!!

[Maha]

Visor up......eyeball the prick, followed by the finger point then tuck in behind him........ works better if theres 3 or 4 of ya but by yourself can be just as effective........take any offramp he does and if he does stupid shit ie; speed wise, zig zaging your job is done.A middle finger salute and leave him to it, im sure he will be watching his rear vision mirror closley will you're there.

HELL YEAH! ive always been a fan of the mirror treatment, but this stealth technology is just the bees knees! Im gonna have to run out and "modify" my boots!

[deathstar]

wouldn't much like it if he took down you plate and came and snaped both your mirrors off and the indicators?

[Dadpole]

Do I detect a Get Smart fan?

OK, all good ideas, but I have to go with the passive version...it just seems a lot safer to me to just zen it out and deal. There's no point in getting your blood boiling over people who a) don't realise how great it is to ride a bike and b) don't realise how dangerous it is to ride a bike.

In the end, although the mirror may work, it's just bad biker karma. Arseholes will be arseholes. I say leave it be. (And it's a good start in making the world a happier place, which wouldn't be a bad thing all up).

He pulled up beside them at the next intesection and put his fist thru the drivers window and had a bloody good attempt at throttling him before the car took off! Suddenly they weren't so cool! :Oi: :2guns:

[loosebruce]

Yea i've had a few wanker in cars incidents cause really it's not just boy racers that do it, the mirror trick works a treat though, i may of used it more than a few times. Another pet hate of mine is those wanks in budget looking commodores with red n blue lights in em trying to imitate a cop car, they look nothing like a cop car they dont even have POLICE written on them, what are they thinking trying to race me, bloody muppets, you think the cops would've done something about this by now................

[classic zed]

A young lady was driving along being harrased by a car full of hoons, driving too close, flashing the lights, making rude gestures, you get the picture.

When they reached a set of lights, they pulled up beside her laughing and taking the piss.

She picks up a can of coke from her passenger seat, smacks it on her steering wheel, cracks the opener and chucks it through their open window. Apparently it made a real mess before they could stop it squirting everywhere.

Thats the way to do it:killingme

Yeah I've had fun down Porchester road too. It's a crap road with heaps of potholes and part of its a 100 zone. I've had all sorts of wankers tailgating and beeping and reving their engines. It seems to attract boyracers like you wouldn't believe.
Mind you if you want to find boyracers hang out side pickapart takanini (any day, it doesn't matter) and you'll see donuts galore. I work next door and often worry about them hitting our fence.
