I did get down to 63kg, but that's when I had monogluc....monoglucleo......glandular fever, but then I was no T.N.T......just a wet paper bag really.

Pepper spray??, what about a water pistol filled with lighter fluid and a lighter attached to the end....that would scare the hell outa them!!

Pepper spray doesn't do nothing much and you have to be too close to use it. Most people can still operate for up to a minute after being pepper sprayed. What you need is bear spray:

Now that's a great product, too bad it's not available in Australia.
I wonder how many times the users have frozen with fear, unable to operate it as a huge grizzly bores down on them....a frightful thought indeed.

Heh, I note the web site states your satisfaction 100% guaranteed... of course there will be no one to complain if said bear spray didn't work as advertised... :p

To add salt to my already gaping wound....I finish work each night at 9:30pm, I jump on the Wasp and ride home in the dark, I have 2 white flashing lights at the front and 2 red flashing lights at the rear. As I'm riding along a street near home I can just make out some figures walking down the middle of the road towards me, when I get close, one of them jumps at me to try and scare me, what a stupid thing to do.....and yes, you guessed it....I make a comment.
One day I might do more than that, and that scares me because anger can be a very dangerous thing. It's all very well to tell me to hit the idiots over the head with a bat, but I want to ride my bike each day, not sit in a cell for manslaughter.

Another note to oneself : Breathe deeply and count to ten....it will pass.

I've had that happen, and also shouts from the passenger-side of a passing car. It's a stupid and dangerous thing to do. And it's tough not to respond, especially when you've just been given an additional hit of adrenaline. But your response is exactly what these idiots are hoping for. Don't give 'em the satisfaction.

What you want is an old fashioned cavalry sabre taped lightly to the crossbar. Then you can wheel your steed around in such situations, draw your sword and charge. I'm assuming the R20 is stable enough to ride one handed. If not replace the nylon top bearing in the steering tube. That was put there to steady 'em up in the first place. It is possible that the sabre may be slightly long to be wielded from the saddle of Wasp, in which case a nice short navy cutlass may be more to your taste. I always think that terrorising ferrals and spilling their blood in the gutter is far more satisfying than a snide remark passed over your shoulder as one flees down the road.

EvilV,

What am I going to do with you??......your crazy maniacal advice only causes me to ponder the deep and dark recesses of my already troubled mind :eek:
"I will work through this" he ponders, as he washes the stench of tainted feral blood off his habergeon, "But it is not THIS day"

BTW, the Wasp still has the nylon bush and I can ride no hands, no problem, it must be the very long stem that steadies it.??

Then the world is your oyster my friend; sabre, cutlas, it's all the same to you.

^^ I perceive Flashman farting furiously.

Tally ho! and tie down the wenches for when I return.

And GAG them....please...... GAG them
