I live in west texas aka one of the most dangerous places to ride a motorcycle and on a daily basis I encounter multiple idiots on the road, I'm not kidding when I say everyone out here thinks they have a race car! I used to carry some marbles or small ball bearings for the people who felt the need to cut me off or run me off the road, is get in front of them and toss a couple in the air but since stopped! Now I just stay out of groups of cars and stay ahead or behind the pack

 

I've had no real bad encounters yet in my 2 years or so of riding but without fail, I ALWAYS rev my basically straight piped f2 when approaching an intersection. I know its saved my *** a couple of times. Just the other day this soccer mom in her mini van I was approaching, never even looked in my direction and started pulling out. I clutched it n hit 12k a few times...she jumped on her brakes real quick and stopped. Sometimes my loud bike gets annoying and it sure was difficult to tune, but its saved me more then once
