Did you get a licence number? I know that I can look up in state plates at work. I am not the only person who can do that. There are a few others who serve who can do many states.

Next time make an anonymous tip that you think the guy is driving drunk. Give the police a description of the car and direction he's going. Then maybe he'll get pulled over.

Marbles work good too. And they are easier to grab with gloves on.

There was always be assholes like him. I like the penny and marble idea, but you never know who your dealing with, so be prepared for the worse. He could be a bigger nut case than you think. Sometimes it's best just to leave it go, which for me is hard to do considering I have a mild Italian attitude. :no:

I have torn awaw from cars side mirrors with my boots, just put your leg up and hit it with your toe. This might be dangerous even if you are an experienced rider so be really careful. And be aware you might end up Hurt.

Shit! I could never raise my leg that high......wish I could, I would like to try that some day.

Just calmly follow his ass to work, or home if your lucky. Then do the ole' removal of his valve stems... He might have one spare, but I bet he doesn't have 4....
If your lucky enough to get him at home, you can always call some other A hole you don't like, start a fight with him and give him you "new" address. There is a thread around here somwhere that descirbes the ASSHOLE joke...

I'd rather have the asshole in front of me rather than behind me. Normally, I try to control road rage on the bike and just slow down and let them move away from me. They'll get there a whole 3 seconds faster...
Bike vs. cage is a no win situation.
This morning I had some chick in a F150 HD Truck riding my ass. I was keeping up with traffic (doing 70-75 mph), there was no where I could go - she was tailing so close I couldn't see her headlights (I drive a Toyota Avalon)!!! I wanted to slam on the brakes but I know she'd hit me. So, at the first opportunity, I changed lanes, let her come up beside me and boxed her in for a few miles. :happy:

LOL...I have trouble aiming with my left hand. I'm right handed and can't maintain my speed and shoot too.
:thinking: hmmmm, maybe it is time to get Bones to help me put on my throttle lock :yes:

All it takes is one phone call. I have the state trooper drunk driver # saved on speed dial. A few months back, I was coming home in the mini van with the family, when a jerk going to fast almost riped off our front bumper as he cut over in front of me. I made one call and followed him as I talked to the officer. He kept driving like an idiot, maybe because I was chasing him, but there was a statie waiting for him just over the hill, before the next town. He was going about 90 trying to get away from me, when the statie got him. We laughed the rest of the way home.

That's what I'm talking about! Let the police deal with them. If they act like an ass with them, they'll be wearing the metal braclets. Watch out for the road ragers. I just finished up a case where a little altercation at a traffic light, ended up with attempt murder charges. The guy went, got his brother, some bats, came back to the area, found the guy and beat the shit out of him, busted him up real bad. There are some looneys out there, so I would be approaching any cars or throwing shit at their windows. You never know who you are dealing with.

The ol' revealing that I have a tucked S&W .40 in my belt trick always gets rave reviews. No, seriously, don't try that. But it helps. :jamming:

Hey Wanda.....I agree with you. Never know who you're antagonizing these days, eh? Things have changed.....I would rather let them pass as well.
Sometimes if I'm being followed too closely I weave a little bit to make them more aware of my presence and they usually back off (like I'm drunk or something) Now maybe someone already said this...I've been away from the posts for a bit and am desperately trying to catch up.

Weaving is a good idea, it would make them take notice of you. :jamming:
Of course, 99% of the time when I ride, I have someone behind me, typically Bones. He likes me to lead so I don't have to deal with jerks behind me and he doesn't have to watch road signs...he just follows me. :grin: Now if he gets too close, an appropriately raised finger usually does the trick.
