It takes quite a bit of practice to hit the windshield, so I suggest starting with signs and small animals. I wish it was getting cooler here!

R-Wells

I am trying to imagine me doing this.
Considering the fact that I have to spit my gum out before I can ride.
(chew pedal chew pedal chew pedal is just to damn confusing)
I am almost certian I cant do this with any degree of personall cleanliness.
I would have to pull over every time I tried it to clean my face.
And I am betting it would take me 45 minutes to clean my bike when I got home.

I think I will leave this one for the reall Pros.

tomcryar

Start small, build up.

R-Wells

Ok, I am willing to try anything once
My daddy told never P*** against the wind, but he didnt mention this.

R-Wells

I dont guess this is somthing I can practice on the trainer in the house, mabey with a fan blowing in my face?

sbhikes

Oh god that is just gross. :(

R-Wells

Hey, they talked me into doing it :)

tomcryar

I wouldn't recommend trying it in the house, unless you live in a loft and have plastic covers....I would practice on the neighborhood kids--you'll get a hell of a battle....

R-Wells

Well shoot,
The trainer thing was just a thought, being closer to the shower and all you know.
But it sounds like every one thinks its a bad idea, so I will give the neighborhood kids idea a shot.

tomcryar

Yes, give them a shot...... :D

tomcryar

Oh god that is just gross. :(

Sorry. Boys will be boys.

Don't apologigze Tom! :lol:

I was at the flea market yesterday, no tissues around or even a scrap of paper. I found myself a lightly traveled area and launched a couple of rockets myself. Even got a compliment from my partner.

Male or female... Snot tockets rule!

otherwise known as a bushman's hanky. Very satisfying

I amend my statement: Girls will be girls! :D

Now that the weather is getting cooler, and my sinuses are running, I've found that if a driver in my rear-view isn't moving over to pass safely, a carefully aimed snot-rocket moves them over pretty damn quick...

:D

HELLYEAH! let 'em have it, lock stock and two slimy barrels :D

For all of you having trouble acquiring your target with nasal napalm, I suppose a long range loogie over the left shoulder would suffice.

But in that case, you need to do some clam-digging first...

STOP IT!!! STOP THIS AT ONCE!!! Lawwwd JeeeZuusss-ah!!!

I've found that I can spit clear across two traffic lanes. I usually use it as a warning more than a retaliation. Driver sees me spit, thinks twice about trying anything.

Now if only there were a way to make use of occasional spells of flatulence. Not exactly something that can be aimed effectively.

Actually, if you are being overtaken in a pack in a road race and post bariatric surgical.....you can deter ANY rider from coming any closer behind you than 75' due to the high HCL and sulphur content of your flatulence!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/theantidote/09cbc9fa.gif

Is there any way to harness this energy to maybe give a burst of speed---like nitrous in cars?

Same here... the first mucus munition is "across their bow".
