what do you carry on your bike, or have mounted to your bike that could be used as a form of defense, or more realistically a retaliation?

I have an expandable baton mounted to the subframe bar just below my left leg.

there's only been one time i've come close to using it, and i would have had my brother's in-laws not been following me into town. dumb broad and her oversized suv pulled out 30 feet in front of me on the highway. she didnt like it when i put my middle finger on her driver window. she then tried to drive 80 in a 50 to try and get away from me... hai, i ride an r1, kthxbai.

oh, and i have a permit to carry, so my gun is always in my inside jacket pocket :LolLolLolLol:

god damn that made me laugh out loud!

I generally enjoy most mistakes made by other drivers, I usually just put myself where they cant deny my presence- somewhere sloseby the window, give em a look, maybe a lil "hey retart, thanks for almost killin me" wave and they usually feel stupid enough that I get the pt accross.

I've found that taking the less aggressive route socially ussually results in an apology or at least a slight sense of regret on their part haha... though if I ever caught someone that somehow managed to really grind my gears I got a throttle and some 10mm bolts in my tank bag....
:thumbsup:

p.s.- ive been envious of your helmet's sticker ever since I saw it - tried to get one last year at FF09 but no one had any....

arming yourself is never a good idea, unless you enjoy jail.


worst case, throw your helmet at the opposing drivers windshield. i know a guy who did. he got tiretaped at a light. if you are not a total failure and have a dot approved helmet, it should do damage. raise visor, grip. slam. owned. also watch out when they try to speed away, they might aim at you.

No reason to go to jail if it is carried legally. I don't carry my gun with any intention of shooting anyone unless my life is in danger.

I carry a bandanna tied to a master lock.

You see i carry the key to the lock on my keys.. So if i have to wack someone with it i can take the lock off of the bandanna and its not a weapon anymore.

when i am riding i leave it hanging out of my pocket.. Who would be scared of a bandanna hanging out of someones pocket?

If someone comes up to me at a light for a confrontation and i am not liking where its going i pull it out he suspeces nothing and WACK

then i just zoom off.

when i first made it my buddies and i were goofing off with it, he put on a helmet and asked me to hit him with it. it pit a HUGE gash in the helmet on the 3rd swing.

when you run 6'5 about 6'6 and are 260lbs its very very hard to get "self defense" :doh:


3 years ago i was attacked in the mall parking lot by an acquaintance and his roommate as they were tweaking, because i *knew* he fucked with my car the night before.

i had two black eyes and a chipped tooth. the first kid had his two front teeth knocked out and i tore the acquaintance to me's ear lobs off, he had 5/8th gauge plugs and i held him in a headlock and was pulled off of him pulling off his lobs.

the cop said "i have a hard time believing with what you did to them it was self defense" :doh:

no way dude, a hammer is a "deadly weapon"

a master lock tied to a bandanna? come onnn


"yes officer i had my lock tied to my hankee :nuts:"

The only reason I dont have a concealed carry is that if you have it, they automatically have a right to a search at any time.
 
#21 ·
They don't mess with me. I show the cops my CCW and so far every one of them have said "Oh, what do you carry? where is it? is it loaded? great, have a nice day. Oh yeah, slow down a little"
 
#22 ·
Oh yeah and I don't carry a weapon, cause like Nailbomb I'm 6'6" and 275 lbs and with my armour on I look like a frakkin monster so even the tweakers have enough sense to leave me alone. I like the idea of using my lid as a weapon tho ... at least it would suprise the shit outa the other guy.

"Guns don't kill people, stupid shits in minivans who cut you off and force you to swerve cause they're fawkin blind useless bastards kill people."
 
#25 ·
PS that blow by scenario is speculation, i've never had the need to do anything like that at all.

the only reason i even carry this is, last summer it was a hobby of some people to rob people on motorcycles, one guy stand in front one guy stand in the back of the bike.

I started to carry it to stop this and never had to use it.

It could be different in your state, states are all different about guns.

the only nation wide one i can think of is a having class 3 weapon license you omit your right to no searches with out probable cause... but i am not even sure about that either.
 
#36 ·
every state is different, and i'm sure every officer will apply it differently. i do believe it's not an automatic right to search in minnesota, but the officer who last talked to me about it sure felt the need to put his gun to my head with his finger on the trigger, waiting for backup to search me and my vehicle in front of my clients. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a PIG
 
#38 ·
wow dude, what a fuckin tool.

My personal experience with cops is that they dont usually follow rules that are there, so this is all really just educational.
 
#41 ·
It's all good, I'm just sayin it def sounded racist and that is the only thing the mods here will police for sure.

remember the fiasco with Fizznation, aka Jigs N Joints?
 
#43 ·
I have no idea what you are talking about with Fizznation.

Sounded racist and IS racist are two completely different things. You took it out of context and immediately became offended, oops, sorry you don't watch the same television programs as I do.

i have tattoos all over, have scruffy hair piercings and wear band shirts and shit i also hold my civil rights dear to me.


I think the thing that pisses them off the most is, i am very professional and polite, i dont buy into their scare tactics and i dont bite their bits to try and rage me into making a mistake... Cops hate me

Ive stopped counting how many times i've been bounced off car hoods. handcuffed and sat in the street for everyone to stare at, been physically pushed around, insulted degraded.. ect. then eventually left go with a side mouthed 'stay out of trouble'

My brain. Best weapon I have on a bike.
 
#49 ·
I keep a 3 D-cell Mag in my truck. It's not a weapon til you use it as one. And once you've shined it in their eyes, it makes a really good one.

Holy fawk, you guys ride with Glocks in yer pockets? Ever hear of Plaxico Burres and how he nearly blew his pecker off? Damn that's ballsy (or soon to be lack of ballsy).

Being Canadian I don't even know anyone who owns a hand gun, although I personally have shot a shit load of weapons including a .50 cal. and have a buddy who has a small arsenal of 40+ rifles. We mostly shoot tin cans, deer, moose, bear (not legal but fun) and any other small furry woodland creature that doesn't move fast enough.

One thing tho, our cops don't (ever as far as I know) smash yer shit on the hood of their cruiser for no good reason. I have dealt with asshole cops but they never lay hands on me, too much paperwork. :)

I do not carry the gun in a pocket. It is secured in a holster in the waistband of my jeans between 4 and 5 oclock. I can do somersaults and the gun will not come out unless I want it to.

On board defenses?

None, I'm huge and I don't put myself in stupid situations. I have guns but I don't carry them anymore, it takes a serious commitment to go through your day with 3 lbs of steel and lead on your belt.

I occasionally cut people off in my truck, in heavy traffic I have no choice sometimes. If some assrag decides to be clever and bust my windshield...

Be nice fuckers.
 
#59 ·
you 'Mercans and your guns... I don't how yous guys aint all in jail, I def wouldn't have the self control not to ruin the day of the first cager to cut me off

That shit would be like having a pornstar move in with you and your wife!! No way you wouldn't end up fuckin it!

yo Nailbomb, pics of the murder weapon? I like that idea for the reasons you were sayin
