Might not be a local crackhead if you're missing your sparkplugs

Back when I was....uhh...less restrained....
I used to carry a broken off piece of sparkplug glued into a 2 foot long x3/4"diameter wood dowel on the bike. More than once it saved me from being pasted by some doofus drifting into my lane in traffic. A good poke into the door glass pretty much shatters it outright. Some dickhead chattering away on his cell, munching is cheeseburger just about ground me into a guard rail, you shoulda seen his face when the window tinkeled away and in his startlement dropped the cell out the window.
Don't even have to whack it hard.....

That's even better than the sand filled garden house I used to bike with. Wish I had known about this earlier. lol
 
oh boy... we used to do this for, uh.... "fun" i guess you'd call it, in high school. it was a small town. lol
 
Pennies work wonders at 45mph... Someone tailgating your bike? Just flip one up over your head; wind and gravity do the rest. I'm not admitting to doing this myself, *ahem*, but I "heard" it from an old biker.
 
My grandpa used to carry little jars of red paint. If someone was being a dick hed mark the car, then call the cops.

handfull of ball bearings works good for me.

yup still keep a pocket full of bearings. Also have kevlar knuckles on my riding gloves. From when I used to commute to work on my GSXR. Quite a few mirrors got removed, and doors kicked. I do miss haveing a bike that could easly speed away from "trouble."
 
Hehe. I didn't fuck around. I always used to keep a lawn mower blade under the seat of the car. It's for the uh, lawn mower you know.
 
Auto extrication classes have taught me many nifty little tricks to breaking windows. Antennas, screwdrivers, anything you can get your hands on really.
 
Jesus, crazy stuff guys. People have a go at me on my bike I'll usually just give it a rev and wheelie off away from them, or give them an obscene gesture...

...although I do have that length of chain up in the garage thats no being used for anything...

Chain'll kill ya on a bike...that shit's for the movies.
I committed in Portland Metro morning traffic of hwy 26 and I205 for a number of years....that's not really commuting, it's combat. Tough to wheelie away when there's some donk in front of you, nose to tail with the donk in front of him.

Luckily I don't commute any longer and quit doing so on the bike. Nobody pushed my lane whilst commanding Truckzilla..
 
Not some big 4ft length, I mean a short 12~18 inch thing you can wrap around your hand and use to bludgeon a cars window/door/mirror with. Anything longer'll get caught in your wheels or chain for sure.
