Actually a rear attack would be best, as the vehicle doesn't have any firepower in the back.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

I came to a complete stop in construction traffic and walked back to the car behind me and peeled a strip off the a**hole. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions until I let him know just how quick I could stop and just how mangled I'd be if he was there when I did it...

True but shouldn't be to hard to face at least one of the mini guns reward. You do have the optional grenade/ land mine dropper coming out of the gas tank saddle bags but you'd have to sacrafice some range on the vehicle though.

Look at the valve cover coming out on the side there... That's a Boss Hoss, you don't have any range anyway!

Rarely do I have a problem with tailgaters.... mostly they can't catch me. But when I can't bugger off due to traffic or construction or whatever, I find hoisting the front end and other various unrecommended activities backs most folks off...... spinning rocks off the rear tire is also effective.

But I can't endorse such behavior........
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

I'm with Buzzz on this one. I don't think I have ever had problems with tailgaters while I'm on a bike. :laughing:
