I only wigged once really and it was when I had my old ninja. Some lady in a minivan FLEW past me in a 35mph zone, CUTS in front of me with mere feet between us, then gets BACK into the other lane a second later and we both stopped at a red light side by side. I called her a bitch, soccer mom…can’t really remember exactly but I know I gave it to her pretty good. har har har And as far as gloves I wear Icon superduty. I got hard knuckle gloves but never wear them. ---

Just carry a bag of marbles in your pocket for people that cut you off. One, Two, or five over the shoulder at 40-50 mph should do the trick. ---

i’ve only given the middle finger really hard at people inches from their window. punching a car is really hardcore. i never thought i’d get used to people almost killing me daily, but it really doesn’t phase me anymore. i just swerve out of the way, give some gesture to show my annoyance and give them super dirty looks if we catch a light together. EDIT: you being the super anti-squid that you are, what do you constitute as full gear when you are on your way to work? ---

I havn’t punched a car…but i’ve given loving window taps… Or I just move out of the way and go on with my day. If you ride a bike people are going to almost kill you all the time. You get used to it pretty fast…and not start threads about it squid. ---

A couple lead fishing sinkers in your pocket are good for when you need to get your point across. :tdown: to idiots in their cars who don’t know how to share the roadways and ignorant pricks on internet forums that always think it’s the bikers fault. ---

a few years ago in my “wilder” days (lol) i shattered an suv’s mirror off in traffic after they made a right on red and nearly ended my life. same summer, heading out to letchworth with a few other bikes on 20a a new bmw was tailgating us pretty hard and there was a line of traffic ahead so we just stayed in line, well after a few minutes of hard tailgating from the bmw I emptied my pocket change on his hood and seconds after he decided to swerve violently over and pass easily 6-8 cars on a hill and nearly hit someone head on. shit happens, i have hours of stories from the past 5 summers [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/glove-review-near-death-exp-thread/51253.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/glove-review-near-death-exp-thread/51253.md?page=3)
