obviously you are a moron, who thinks that you can police the road. Are you in a squad car? NO then you shouldn't do shit. open your door in front of a biker, and i hope its me. your going to get one of the most brutal beat downs i can deliver with out killing you. i as do others carry weapons on bikes just for clowns like you. i swear the fact that you even in the guise of the internet can say crap like this is to me just retarded. you dont have the coconuts to do it and if you did i would feel really bad for what would happen to you. its not like bikers only have bikes. if i saw someone pull a stunt like that while i was in my car your still getting the piss beat out of you.

stick to your no a/c having shitbox car. you are one person on this planet if i saw flipped up side down in your burning car i would just drive/ride by.

this thread is going into bike tech and frankly i would imagine you just dug a hole for your self. i think every biker on TR is going to be looking for a gay ass RX7. dont be suprised if your mirrors get kicked off.

i dont expect your respect. i just want you to look twice before you change lanes. cause maybe if you didnt see a biker the first time doesnt mean he/shes not there. its amazing how poeple can see bikes or cars. so i drive my bike accordingly. i know this much you will see me when im right next to you with my baton swinging like barry bonds at your rear view mirrior.

its dickheads like you that keep the anmosity between cars and bikes.

trying to keep this drama free put its clowns like you that fuel my fire. the fact of the matter is if everyone paid attention to the fucking road we would have to worry about who seeing who.

and cryptic your point is taken, but you argument is one thats just not popular because most people know that it is curtious to at least be aware when there is a biker around. respect isn't maybe the best term to be used.
go head stick it in there i dont give a fuck. Like i said before, a biker that respects the road will have my respect ill give them all the room they need and all that good stuff. but you start acting like a jackass expect to be treated like one.

As for them doing something to me when i open the door. remmber your ass probally just landed on the ground. Whos to say i wont take something out of my car to beat your ass with if you pull something on me?

Its not required by law,to take a class or course.

But it is a law to have some sort of endorsement,or even a permit.
You can go to jail, it is a second degree misdeminor,and they will impound the bike.

Well when biker's are in a pack they "act" like they own the road. You know how many times I get stuck behind a pile of bikers which are hogging all the lanes.

You don't see "Harley Davidson" owners pulling the stunts most of these sport motorcycle owners pull. Hell do you ever hear about someone in a Harley Davidson getting hit and killed? Hardly ever, street sport bike's all the time. My uncle was hit on a sports bike. My ex-girlfriends brother's bestfriend died because he got hit by a drunk driver.

If you own and drive a bike you are aware of whats around you. It would be like me driving my car and I'm surrounded by semi's. Hell one hits me or side swipes me I'm dead.

Theres some video of some place in india where they have like 1 traffic light and no traffic signals and people are flying all over the road on little scooters. Ill try to dig up the video. Its funny as hell though to watch.

Rotary7,

I'm going to purchase a box of "mase" or "pepperspray", keep it ready on my left side of my bike jacket. If someone cuts you off, you can spray on the A/C vents or on the face at a light.

What are they going to do? Chase you!

According to lawyer that I talk to the other day, its not illegal, your basically defensin' yourself in a life threaten situation.

whats ur thoughts on that?

Thats the problem, its not enforced. Plus, most run from the cops since they know their bike is a lot faster then a patrols car. If they do catch the few and impound their bike, they'll do it again. Sport bike's are a more adrenaline rush then a car. Those who street race and get caught, 99% of them continue doing the same old thing and street race some more.

They get as much respect as they give me, if they ride like a shithead they dont get any respect.

Tell you what if I'm in my car and you cut me off first and I then cut you off out of anger and defense and you spray that in my A/C vent. I'll be sure to get your tag before anything effects me and I'll be looking for you if the LEO decide they can't do nothing.

This point of yours is not self defense, its more like road rage. I would understand if the person is trying to steal your helmet or jack you. If people in cars start getting sprayed by mase from motorcyclist it won't teach them a lesson... you'll have a more increase of getting hit by a passenger car and their excuse would be self defense.
