    Rather surreal. Adds a whole new context to road rage.

Most of the public assume people that carry guns are bad and stay away from you while you are riding. Its funny how many riders are hit because people never see them, but everyone notices the ones that are packing.
    This guy might be on to something. A new LTSA safety campaign?

    You're right... It's weird to think that is IS just normal conversation. If someone said that here I'd be laughing my ass off. Or terrified.

    I feel as though you could equally ask NZders "Do you carry a cabbage when you ride?" and you'd get the same look for both.
    There's Life, the Universe and Everything, but I prefer pizza.

    Hmm. Which do you reckon gives the better 'trouser profile', though: a Magnum or a foil-wrapped cucumber?

    Pretty much sums them up. Wonder if it counts when your gun is just closer than your phone..
    My signature is cooler than yours.

    Hahahaha

    I dont know, maybe its because Im South African and there was always a firearm in the car or around us. Im all for it if you think you need it. Bit silly to carry one as a bling factor (I presume), but if there is a genuine reason for carrying it, I say go for it.

    Someone cuts you off, so you kill them?
    What if the cutter-offer had a bigger, badder gun?
    Yep, only in Amurika.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
