Not these dinky 15 mph ones that I seem to find in the rest of the area. I'm just glad traffic was slowed way down due to people not knowing what the "fudge" right of way was and I could easily out maneuver them. I could KICK one car if I had wanted to. Almost did too, but the pre-pubesent middle-school girl driving probably would have started to cry. After she took off her oversized sunglasses... On an OVER CAST, DARK DAY.
Oh, and THEN it started to rain. I'm blaming that on them too, even though it's not their fault, and I knew it was raining intermitedly throughout the day. I've never been so aggrevated to fast before on a ride. Though at that speed, it was like "just "procreating" hit me, I dare you. The bike will drop, I'll get up and call the cops and get a free bike (minus $500)". Never been so glad I was ATG before.
I need a louder horn...
Don't you f'ing love our fellow masshole drivers? *sigh*

in america the police wont do anything about you kicking someones vehicle because it would be the cages fault you had to do it. My bro-in-law has done it more than once to get away from an idiot who has tried to run him over and it was his way of "getting away" from the idiot.
I wouldn't recommend this practice. I've known more than one door kicker that has been busted over the years. Claiming that kicking in a cage door is necessary for "getting away" from a cage that's crowding into your lane is a story that is rarely going to be bought by the investigating officer or the judge.
According to my cop neighbor, if you do this in AZ, you will get busted. Door kicking is not recognized as an evasive manuever. It is recognized as driver agression/road rage.

They really do work, but you need some room on the bike to mount the compressor and horns.
I put a truck-sized air horn on one of my old 750s and it worked very well. When a cage started to cut me off, one blast of the horn and they'd move right back to where they came from. They wouldn't even bother looking back to see what was really there. They just assumed it was an 18-wheeler. It was a totally different response than I usually got when I hit my puny motorcycle horn.

I'm lucky, there was plenty of room under the right side cover for the compressor...
