My dad goes by garage sales and picks up cheap crappy wrenches. If a tailgater doesn't get the hint, he just drops one and let's it do the job.
I had a friend back in the 70's who carried a handful of ball bearings in his jacket pocket for this very purpose.
That might have been me! Bandon, Oregon??
@@bobsullivan5714 Cali.
This made me laugh too hard. The scooter boy killed me 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Been using ball bearings since the 60's. Just keep some in a pocket and toss them over your shoulder
Will take out radiators too. Hell. Easyriders magazine talked about this 50 years ago.
and all this time i just gently accelerated and if that didnt work i slowed down so they could pass me, been riding 31 years and so far this has proven its self to work over and over, i am so used to the other drivers not looking out for bikes i dont even get mad any more, i expect to get cut off, tail gated, ignored, pulled out in front of, cussed and all around bullied on the road, expecting that helps me keep an eye out for it and avoid those issues. and if all else fails i have a windshield bag with 4 billiard balls in it for "emergency games of pool" set of brass knuckles in my pocket just in case the tailgater has an accident and i have to break some glass to help them out.
You know this is satire, right? :)
@@MotoGiant
No.....This is serious shit.
Yer a good citizen! Be happy to buy you a beer.
Rusty lug nuts are always plentiful on the roads. I pick em up at intersections and save them for the scrap pile... Only for the scrap pile, no other reason.
I never seem to have tailgaters.Maybe I don’t ride slow enough?
Awesome Biker Bob, have you got any hair care tips you'd like to share with us?
I don’t have that set up on my bike yet (snail mail) but I do have a throttle that when I twist it with purpose soccer mom Sally is gone
Atomic Fireballs are much easier to pass off as an 'accidental release' if asked about what hit the guys car behind you.
Very good and funny 🤣🤣
i dont know what i just came across but all i have to say is, where do i get one?
Spark plugs in the tank bag, lob a couple over the shoulder and whack the throttle
That's pretty funny🤣lol
When I'm riding my bike, I'm the one tailgating
I turn my throttle💪
The millwright in a sawmill I worked at many years ago kept me well supplied with large ball bearings....... My jacket left pocket was stuffed with about two lbs of these devastating little beauties. I could easily dump these on a tailgator. Truthfully, I only did this twice. I don't know what happened next but both times the car pulled over and stopped........I didn't turn around to ask questions.
Old spark plugs. The best window smasher ever.
Spark plug comment number 103, thank you!
@@MotoGiant lmao you're quite welcome.
I use crushed up spark plug glad !
Works just as good if you keep them in you pocket and if you actually throw them at the ground there more likely to actually hit a windshield
you know this is comedy right?
I put old spark plugs and rocks in my jacket pocket ...
chuck 'em over my shoulder ... if that dont do it, the .45 will ...
Haha just keep a jacket pocket full of ceramic chunks. Tiniest little piece is plenty to shatter automotive glass. Stones/pebbles work too
No bearing bettie for scooter boy! Thats too funny!
You could put brake fluid in a polyethylene bottle with a spray nozzle and use a CO2 canister to pressurize it for a nice mist all over the windshield and paint. Many cars have dash cameras, though.
I should make a video of all the suggestions I have gotten over the years?
@@MotoGiant - Lots of pent up frustrated anger? You should see the ones I didn't post for fear that my CZcams account would be nuked and I'd get a visit from some federal law enforcers. When I was bicycling on the road, I'd often dream of a recoiless rocket that was disguised as a frame pump, like a mini LAWS rocket.
Haha awesome, love a good laugh
Pocket full of marbles.
Dude! Long time no see! Fresh here from the Darkside. I thot you disappeared and this old vid popped up on my feed.
Hope all is well.
Mr. Fresh - good to hear from you - my feed sux too. Glad to have you back!
Funniest damn thing I have seen in a while.. next to Dredman's new Vespa that no one knows about.. until now I suppose.. Don the Mod.. lmao..
-spaz
Spark plug ceramic works great as well, when itbhits it shatters into dust so there is no evidence for the cops to get you on
Spark plug ceramic works great but my all time fav was always glass marbles, they get the job done then disintegrate, and they're cheap and plentiful
Ive kept a spark plug in my pocket. If I get searched, I just tell the cop that I have a bad cylinder and plug always needs replacing.
@Tommy Ealey allegedly we need another cool fairytale from you….
@Tommy Ealey touché
What's the charge for James bonding ur bike?
Working on the 'License to Kill Packages' now - should be released in Late Summer for the Moto-Spy community! Subscribe to get early access!
Not a bad idea. Biker Bob may be onto something....
Funny ass shit. Awesome vid.
Glad you enjoyed. Thinking about doing a new product for bikers - check back often!
haha I never saw these video's of yours before.. hahaha
I love it
I love it that you have discovered this old gem!
they get so dam close they can't see the tail lights makes ya wonder what going on in their mush melon heads
What happened to a pocket full of b.b's
You can buy those anywhere?
Small handful of nuts and bolts work and is cheaper!
Just keep some paintballs in your shirt pocket. They get the message and no damage.
paintballs? really? why not just give them a dirty look?
never thought of paint balls. thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+d redman if they're yackin away or their cellphones they're not going to notice you giving them dirty looks
Justin Myslive me thinks he was being sarcastic😉
@@MotoGiant your head able to turn 180 degrees while your riding 65 down the highway? They able to tell you giving a dirty look when you're wearing a full face helmet? My solution is to start riding like I'm drunk. Theyll usually back off, or they'll pass if they don't back off.
Leather pouch full of broken porcelain allays does the trick!!! :)
LMAO... You can just toss the ball bearing over your shoulder too... Not that I'd condone that sort of thing, just saying... 🤣🍻
I'll take two please.
I always keep my old spark plugs. wink wink
my uncles say they used to point a pistol at people raging or tailgaters,they backed the fuck off real fast and there wasn't a cell phone in every hand in the 70s 80s
Muchbetter choice than my derringer, ha ha
The best part of this idea and video are the bits stolen from the movie Ronin...
Lmao
I just accelerate and throw a handful of birdshot size ball bearings over my shoulder, works like a shotgun🤷🏻♂️😏
are you trying to cheat me out of my hard-earned revenue with your alternative marketing strategy?
🤷🏻♂️😉😂
Just fill up a balloon with brake fluid. Chuck it over your shoulder. They won't be able to see well and eat up there paint too.
A latex balloon will contain brake fluid for .38 seconds before dissolving.
Make it release ping pong balls instead how funny would that be haha
LMAO
Lol
I've always used a pocket full of nuts and bolts that way they can't prove you did it
Glass marbles are the best... they get the job done then disintegrate... and they bounce just to the right hight every time too...
Broken windshield... ✔
Driver learned a valuable lesson.... ✔
Evidence.... nowhere to be found
@@daviddavis8653 Tho I would never attempt this, exactly how would one launch the glass marble??
@@dougfresh1341 First of all, I agree you should never do this, and I haven't done this to anyone, but I have some friends who have done it and still carry a few glass marbles in their vest pockets. Basically all that needs to be done is to take one out of your pocket and drop it onto the road, since you're moving somewhere between 60 and 90 mph, the marble will bounce off the road at least 2 or 3 feet high and will lose enough energy that after the first or second bounce its forward speed is reduced enough that it will damage a windshield.... think about getting too close behind a truck hauling gravel, it hits the road, bounces up, and chips the windshield... pretty much the same effect.
Like I said earlier, I don't recommend actually doing this and trying to explain to law enforcement why you have a pocket full of marbles may not go too well....
@@daviddavis8653 I will never try this.
It doesn’t work on my bike……. Ive never had anyone that could keep up. Lol
😁😁😁
I got something that works better caltrops I call it. The 16 vehicle pile up
If only it was so😎, I haven't had much issues on road but one cold night in San Antonio some drunken service recruits were racing along highway 35 South challenging me to race my Sportster, throwing empty beer cans, wish I had a get back whip, something?!?! Well, four of them and I slowed down let em pass, following them to Lackland AFB gate, hated myself for doing this but who knows how many bikers they harassed? Told the guard, he basically just ignored me, asked for officer on duty, damn boots found out I was former military. Well, didn't want to ruin their records so I just wanted an apology and stop fucking with bikers. Got an apology and a steak dinner at Lil Red Barn, 3 guys were from NJ and one from Ca., but I ride with a get back whip now.......😊
That is a great story thanks for that
So long as you use latex gloves while handing the bearings, you won’t ever have to worry about it getting traced back to you. Much more discreet than dumping a full magazine or two like in the old days.
🤣
I use pennies
.....or you could just pull over and let them pass.
Yeah try that on the highway.
Doesn't make it right tailgating. but neither does releasing ball bearings on the highway. to the vehicle for that possibly has kids in it.
So I take it you are NOT going to buy one?
Um....because you're a grown-up???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 scooter boy 🛵. All I do when a tailgater approaches, i just slow down even more and if they still don't get the message I just come to a stop, grab my chain and ask them WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM. Most of the time they apologize and move on...especially when they see the 9mm strapped to my side. BIKER LIVES MATTER TOO
