Yet another reason to wear a full face helment and body armor...

Agreed. and those gloves are cool.. good post

Against an unhelmeted cage driver dufus? "The problem with these boys is they have never been in a bar fight" Colin Powell when talking about W, Rumsfield, Rice, and Wolfwitz.. goes for you too longride. One thing they teach you in football/hockey is never take off your helmet in a fight... I think a helmet is huge advantage. Think about you can head butt, couple that with some good gloves like those Icon things and a jacket with elbow pads to block punches. I suspect with your physical size you never were in too many fights i.e you used it to intimidate/bully people didn't you cause you still do it here?

Reverse logic

Keep your face shield closed dufus.. He smashes your faceshield that becomes evidence..When someone hits me from behind and corners me.. I would be thinking offensive not defensive.. Using your logic Police wouldn't wear Riot ger helmets.. The minute the guy hits me from behind I hit the gas and find place to call the cops. Unless I am cornered then I become completely offensive. i.e he doesn't get a chance to grab anything..

Agreed.. The minute you stop your bike things begin to go down hill. I took a little self defense/karate (I should have completed it). You only fight back enough so you can flee i.e you don't stand there like Bruce Lee and duke it out like Fists of Fury..Otherwise you get in trouble legally.

Don't get me wrong. The minute you stop your bike you are in trouble. Then you only fight back enough so you can flee i.e you don't stand there like Bruce Lee and duke it out like Fists of Fury..Otherwise you get in trouble legally.

Re: Don't do it...

Right I went back and reread the story. When I first read the story I thought the cyclist kicked the car in a defensive manner. If he did it out of anger than that was a bad thing. One time a bicyclist smacked the hood of my car cause he thought I didn't see him. He was using the crosswalk and I think he thought Iwas going to pull forward and hit him. I remember how pissed I was someone touched my car like that..
