Rolling burnouts tend to do the job also, if your lucky they might crash, if you are unlucky they might crash into you... make you exit sharpish...

Yeah, I always nod to police bikes but have only ever got one back.

Today I was in slow moving traffic with this cager right up my rear when the plod bike went past on the other side of the road. I nodded and it did make the cager back off. Maybe he thought I knew him. Ha ha! Laughing

remember the highway code? increase distance with vehicle in front and slow down.

or..... ride touching back brake.

or..... turn that rubber round handle thing on the right clockwise on its centre axis and watch as the acceleraion increases Laughing

The guys on the big pans with the police scooby behind em dont seem to respond though Sad

there was somebody that said if you ever get a car right up your arse , stick your foot on your centre stand and push it down into the road , which will cause a shower of sparks and make them back off maybe...

Remember to put the kill switch back to 'on' when conserving fuel at junctions.

I tend to wait for a straight road then just turn around on the seat and glare at them, worked thusfar.

Or just go too fast for them to stay there.

Yeah you'd want them to be backed off a fair way though when the stand digs in a pot hole or something on the road and sends you sideways. Thumbs Down

Sounds cool in theory but somewhat stupid in practice.

I'd suggest the person who told you about this one may neer have tried it.

I've done that and if it did hit a pothole its not going to dig in because it'll be at about a 45 degree angle so it'll just get kicked back up a bit. Thumbs Up

Mine has a small lip around the bottom edge of it where it flares out. I know he doesn't mean puting it all the way forward but surely there still has to be a possibility.

With a car on your ass I dont see it being worth the risk .

Cool looking ...maybe

I'd prefer the option of pulling over and letting them pass if need be.

Thats fair enough. Thumbs Up On my old CB250 the spring was shagged so it used to do it over bumps in the road anyhow. Laughing
