I feel like crap... close call

Re: the renter chick mug shot........a redhead. lol Sounds about right per the RChs I have come across in my adventures.

The assault with the car was handled well IMO. The Ol' coot probably had a sawed off SG under the seat.

The wrong way to handle it.......back up ten years. Was riding bicycle on the side of a city roadway next to the curb. Two assholes in their late teens/early twenties went by me about 45-50mph and hit me in the back with a 7/11 cup full of ice. Hurt like a m/f and damn near knocked me off the bike. Unfortunately for him, he stopped at the next red light and didn't notice I was gaining on him. I got off the bike and walked up to the driver side window (open) and extracted the youth incapacitating him with a face down body slam to the asphalt. The second guy was exiting the vehicle to assist his buddy but reconsidered and rather quickly retreated, rolled up his window and locked the door. About then the driver was trying to get up off the road so I reach in the still open driver side window and grabbed the keys out of the ignition.......called the passenger a spineless m/f and then tossed the car keys into a nearby retention pond.

A really dumb adrenalin fueled true story and I realize they don't always work out that way...........but I hope it makes you feel better that not all assholes get away with their bad behavior..

I like the way you roll!

Man, is it bad that I get the warm fuzzies reading this story?

Also had a similar bad call when in my early 20's, some punks racing down our street went "wide" to clip the apex of a corner. Made me have to lock up and skid into a neighbor's yard as I was coming the opposite direction. Had a buddy with me, we decided to turn around and give chase. Ended up on the highway screaming out the windows at the kids at about 65-70mph. They gave me the finger, I decide to pull in front of them, maintain speed and my passenger tossed out a full 3 liter bottle of coke. At 60+ mph, that is pretty much a missile. Went right through the front windshield. Not sure what happened, they stopped and we kept going. Boy that was dumb.... lucky we didn't kill someone.

Actually.... I did do something once....

I got run off the road, inconsiderate bass-tart-oh.... Going across Florida on Route 70, between Okeechobee and Arcadia. Guy runs me off passing, when there was no oncoming for him. Then hits his brakes... slows to 20mph. I pass him carefully... nutjob maybe. He immediately speeds up, rides my ass.

I had a can of 3m spray adhesive that we used to use to glue Tolex to plywood on amplifiers. I just held my arm out the window with the can... pressed the top... I saw his wipers come on. The rest is history. That stuff is probably still on the glass, and that happened in ... maybe '94!!!

Put three .45 rounds through a belligerent drunk driver's radiator once late at night in nowhere south of Tucson. Don't know how far he/she got after that....it was still working at staying on the road at speed when I lost sight of its headlights in the mirror. That was about 30 years ago. I still find it amusing.

Dude you got balls that go clang when you walk.

OK since this thread is really on the freeway. I had the reverse pulled on me.

On scooter early in the morning. Guy starts mess'n with me so I start to follow him figuring he will pull off sometime soon and I'll light up his *** when he does but the guy threw, no flung, out a length of chain link into the air from his pickup truck. That changed my attitude quickly.

Now as I write this, I bet that was this guy's MO the whole time. Provoke a scene with a guy on his bike on the freeway. When he follows you, take him out with some chains.

I'm a little braver in a car. 1986... California freeway headed south and encounter traffic backed up... rolling but about 10 mph below speed limit. I work my way up to the front of the rolling parking lot and there are two bikers driving side-by-side, each in the middle of both lanes... yacking and enjoying themselves. [I just came from three years in Germany and Europe and had some pretty hairy incidents over there... even edging off the Autobahn to the inside and throwing a rooster tail because the a-hole I was passing stopped moving to the right and stayed half in the lane... illegal as hell, but I wasn't going to slam on MY brakes, so I just eased to the left into the grass a bit... AWD Audi Quattro 4000... and passed the b#$tard. Oh, I was going over 100 MPH and didn't slow down... did I say braver... maybe reckless.]
Oops... got sidetracked... anyhow, I eased up slowly behind the two comedians and got really close. They kept looking back and forth and back at me... or my front bumper(Red Audi Quattro), which was INSIDE 5 feet. They soon tired of their game, got out of the way, and the rest of us got on down the road, or at least I did.

I just won't put up with a lot of crap and I'm impatient.

With the Harley, You had the advantage in acceleration and used it well. Bravo!

[jocko]

I try to avoi9d confrontations when on my Harley, bikers seem to loose 99% o the time. If it an ******* trucker, I just back off, I try to explaian that to my wife who rides to but she just loves to give them the #1 sign when they fokk with her, not good to see but never seen one try to take it out on her though. If I weight 280 and was 35 I might look for confronation but at age68 and hitting 160#, I find it bes to back off and let the ******* go. Last thing I want to see is a damn tire chaiin coming out their window trowards me or my wife either.
