I like the rock thang myself. And the way Josh handled it, that was cool; and so was the cop. It was a trucker who told me the easiest way to make a tailgater back off is swerve to the shoulder and let the debris fly. But a bike doesn't lift that much off the pavement, like a car or truck, or especially a semi hauling a load. A car or truck, if there isn't enough debris, the only time it works is in the rain...

My dad also carrys a LARGE allen wrench with him and hasn't had to use it yet. biggest thing to remember is just not to touch it with your bare hands or fingers. then there is no way they can have the proof :D works like a charm.

This woman kept tailing me - at 65 to 75 MPH - and I slowed down, sped up, even went onto the shoulder to spray gravel and grit: nothing worked. Finally, after about 12 miles of this nonsense, I had enough and hit the brakes and went down to 40 mph, I kept this up and after about a mile of that, she passed me. She must have missed the sign that said the speed limit had been reduced to 55, because she was still going about 65 or 70 and passing everyone...but, before she was completely out of my eyesight, here comes a cop and pulled her over. No more trouble from her the rest of the trip... That gun rack would go really well with one of those Yosemene Sam mud flaps; you know - the one that shows him with two pistols and says, "BACK OFF!

I've been thinking about a dispenser for small gravel, electrically operated, for cars and cycles. You swerve suddenly and dispense gravel onto the tailgaiter. After a couple, they would probably back off........... Guncase would be a great place to store your lunch and other stuff and still be just as effective. ;~) ----- Original Message ----- From: Kyle Munz To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 12:51 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Fw: 2nd Amendment. Why?? No hard feelings. I also like the idea of chicks with guns ;) Guns are still acceptable accessories in the great state of Texas. I've just gotta figure out how to attach this rifle mount to my nighthawk. I'm thinking it might keep cars from tailgating me. -Kyle -Back in Texas last night, put 50 miles on the bike this morning... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
