My right to self defense on a motorcycle

[skoebl]

Well, if that's an automatic weapon....no go in California.

Although...If I could get my hands on a 17" BFR...Or a Desert Eagle. I'm sure just having it in plain sight would make people not F with you at all

I can't think of anywhere in the world where this kind of thing is legal -

Getting your bike and "O Ring" out of the way is your self defense.

Which again isnt to say that a little instant karma is a bad thing, just expect to get charged for it.

I thought of a pretty good way to look at it... if you find yourself in an Easy Rider ending, do your worst, 'cause nobody'll say you didn't have cause.... but you're still probably better off getting as far away as you can.

I'm pretty sure that the authorities would consider that "road rage" and charge you w/destruction of property (if any) and what ever else the cop could think of.
Saying all of that I had an incident a few years back where an old lady attempted to squeeze me out and I was close enough to kick her door in but I quickly exited the scene.

I think that was very smart of you. Yes, it could feel good or macho to get revenge, but most of the time, these things only work while they stay in the mind. In the real world, things rarely seem to go the way the mind plans it...at least in my experience.

I don't ride yet(paperwork isn't moving very fast), but I do drive and I've had moments where I get extremely annoyed at both cars and motorcycles. A few times I've done some stupid things and I've always been appreciative that it didn't end up escalating to something very serious. Most of the time, I try to take a deep breath and go on my merry way. I've found that relaxes me a lot more in the long run than gunning after the other people (where I usually still feel angry, but then also stupid because I could have gotten into a lot of trouble).

You do like posting pictures of your toys don't you?

BTW advice goes double for you, if a situation gets out of hand when you are on the road you evade, wrap the throttle and go...

i had a close one the other day, a car was gonna enter my lane and i was prepared to move away but then it's good that she noticed me before she fully turned and went back to her lane.

anyway... my toys are cool and deadly. i got training on them no worries i made sure the gun is empty and the sword is nowhere near another person when that pic was taken.

another toy i have is my gibson blueshawk electric guitar. i love it too.

This reminds me of a true story. My husband is an ex cop and used to work with a big husky motorcycle cop. This guy was big and look even bigger and taller on his police motorcycle with his knee high boots. We'll he got pissed a couple of times at people cutting him off on the highway, he would pass the car on the drivers side and kick off thier side view mirror, and just keep going. I agree he's probably abusing his power there, but I can say that i've felt like doing that a couple of times myself.

However the best advice is to just get the heck away form them.

VX your bike should be pretty good for dodging cagers, all else fails you can deploy that hidden invisible rocket engine and hit escape velocity in a few seconds LOL
