Yep I agree! Even when I've done it myself I know that it's stupid! Now a days I just light up my brake lights... that almost produces the same effect.
It's like when we used to do wheelies down the freeway, it's dangerous sure but if you know what you're doing...
I won't try to justify 90% of the shit I've done on a motorcycle in the past. Anymore than I'll try and justify the crazy shit I've done off a bike either.
IMO if the guy on the bike had known what he was doing, he could have frightened the driver of the RV without risking his own life.
BTW damaging someone's vehicle (bb's, marbles, kicking, etc) can just as easily result in death if you fuck with the wrong motherfucker on the wrong day!
My buddy Junior, RIP, used to carry almost pinball sized ball bearing with him in a tank bag. Well, one day, day before he died-no bs, a guy in a red Chevy pick up accidentally cut us off flying down Leonard on our way to Grand Haven. So Jr passes him and hits him with a volley of 4 or 5 balls and takes off! FUCK! Now it's on! This guy chases us for the better part of 5 miles before he finally "gives up" and we lose him in the twists and turns of the road. Apparently, the guys in the back had a couple close calls!
Well, we get to GH and are sitting in our normal "biker lot" by the beach. I convince Jr that maybe he should take off because that guy looked pretty pissed. Not 10 minutes later, here comes that guy in the pick up screeching to a stop maybe 2 feet from our bikes. Screaming and waving a rifle. You could see 3 maybe 4 "divots" on the body of the truck and a nice crack in the windshield! You could also see the paper dealer plate in the rear window....
Of course the guy starts screaming about how he's gonna call the cops and we agree that we're sure that they'd be interested in how he tried to murder guys who had nothing to do with it.... He left, we left, Jr died the next day doing wheelies on a side street off Alpine...
These days, I just avoid the idiots and shake my head as I go past... what's the point? If you do anything to them, they'll just be angry with you. People don't accept responsibility or blame anymore. I picked up my gf's bike last night from her work because it was raining and she was afraid to ride it. Some girl in a Honda totally cut me off. I just rode around her and gave her the "thanks for almost killing me" look and rode on. What's the point? It's not like they're going to learn anything. Shit, if I were to do anything then I'd be possibly facing criminal charges.
