    No, I wouldn’t kill anyone for not indicating! Maim? Maybe, but not kill...
    The disposable camera is a good idea, stops nutters and is brilliant at accidents!
    Don’t use your key as brass knuckles! It is coincided as an improvised weapon and you will get a visit from the men with the hats!
    IF you find your self in a situation like this its hands at shoulder height, palms facing out as a sign of "Ok, I'm sorry, clam down." If this doesn’t work your in a prime place to block any punchers that come at you and witnesses will be saying "They where backing off when that guy went to hit them."
    So it looks good for you!
    Looks can be VERY deceiving, I had a sparing match with a girl in our club one day, she’s about 5'5" aprox 60-65kg, kicked my ass all over the room!
    Another guy with 7 years of Karate couldn’t touch me! Big bugger too! (too scared to stand still!)
    But the general rule is "The bigger they are, the harder they punch you in the face."
    If you come home seething about ANYTHING do what I do and hang a kick bag somewhere, best stress relief there is!
    Have kicked a few cars tho… Not to mention the mirrors I have removed… It is fun isn’t it!
    We all have our little obsessions...

    How do you manage to pull that out when you're riding along? I don't really get anywhere when I try to undo my zips with gloves on.
    It would make for some funny pics if you did manage to shoot a few photos. (Think startled driver with a WTF look on their face)

    Velcro strip on the Whale dashboard. Li'l Ratty I carry it in my jacket pocket, has big dome down pocket, I can get it out with summer gloves on. Leather jacket or winter gloves is problematic.

    Can't aim very well but most of the time, general direction is enough

    Leave it hanging from the zip on my jacket (you know, the one with tassles) and surprisingly enough I managed to take some good pics while riding.
    Especially when coming through the Lindis on the way back from the Hokitika rally in January.

    If you're a pistol shooter it helps your 'instinctive' aim.
