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

    He's riding a Honda and wearing white socks with black shoes. He needs to carry weaponry.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    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.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    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

    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!

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

    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! 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! 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)

    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.
