what i hate the most is when im in my truck behind a bike at a light. ill usually leave a truck length incase they stall, or just tip over. and then some idiot will weave in there to get 20ft ahead at a red light. thats when i inch forward and get about 2" away from hitting them right above the rear tire if they are still crooked, and throw the high beams on.
forgive me if iam not understanding what you said correctly. but the way i read this is that you get mad when another biker lane splits & gets in front of you in the open space that yu had left between you and the motorcycle in front of you ?
I think he's talking about an A-hole in a car squeezing in there. I'd be pissed too, and the guy on the bike surely would be too.

Okay... Tailgaters are F,ing idiots! But throwing ball bearings, screws, golfballsand change has got to be the most idiotic thing you could do. So you throw that stuff over your shoulder. Screw up the guys car behind you and you take off. Oh! Revenge is sweet huh? But what about the next bike coming down the road that runs over the ball bearings, screws, golfballs? Could he go down because of the crap you left on the road? Sure, why not? JMO!
+1 i hope you guys don't seriously do this stuff. there's enough crap on the roads already

ya havoc, im talking about another car... usually a SUV that tries to fit in that gap between me in my truck and the bike infront of me. im trying to look out for other bikes on the road and then some dipsh1t wants to cut 5seconds out of their trip to risk hitting me AND the bike.

Usually i aviod starting **** with other drivers. I have had a gun waved at me in high school for my buddy mooning this guy. he chased me around for about 8 blocks and through one red light. Ya crazy mother Fer. I let him catch me cause i didn't want to have to try and run for it. He pulled up and stuck a pistol out the window. Scared the hell out of me and my friends. I got around him and ran about 100 all the way home. Not cool. So when people **** me off i just let them go or leave um in the dust. Basicly just get away from me or i will get away from you.

A few ball bearings is not going to make a cyclist go down.

Do you fall over when you run over a bunch of rocks...gravel...etc,?

No...not unless you are the stupidest most talentless bag of **** ever born.

Half a dozen ball bearings...most will hit the car...the next car behind that will scatter them to the side of the road...

We are not talking 10 square feet of solid...round objects... but what amounts to a pebble in the road.

Oh, I just remembered.

I always had a problem with people tailgating me in my old car. So, I installed windshield wiper fluid squirters in the rear spoiler facing rearward and hooked them up to a switch inside the car. If they got right on my ***, I would give them a couple squirts. Usually, they would back off. I also made a decal for the rear window that read "Back off or get sprayed."

It worked like a champ. I did have one person yell at me for it though. They were yelling "I just washed my car!", then I would reply "Then back off my a** next time and it won't happen!" - Ahh, memories.

My gf and her mom actually had a motorcyclist throw rocks at them, but it wasn't because they were following too closely. They were behinda guy on a harleyin stop and go traffic and the guy rolled off onto the shoulder (no clue as to why) and looked like he was stopping or turning so she pulled up behind the next car but he swerved back and started throwing rocks and laughing. If I were there I would have walked up and beat the **** out of the guy.
