    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.

    Been using ball bearings since the 60's. Just keep some in a pocket and toss them over your shoulder

    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.

    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.

      @@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....

    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.......😊
