And get blood on the kangaroo leather? No thankyou old chap I'd far rather use the bikes natural advantage of a superior power to weight ratio and do what is scientifically termed as "f*cking off right sharp" old bean.

Actually, in the states, because the other person would suspect your carrying a weapon, road rage disputes are not common, same as burglary, you dont hear of any as they know the person in the house can and will shoot you down so only drug dependants will take that chance sometimes.
I have spent a lot of time in the states, mainly texas, incidents are very rare.

I dread to think of the damage my gloves with the mass of someone my size behind them could do to someone, i bet it would be nasty.
Dont think you would have to worry about losing too many altercations if you can land the first one.

too right, though if your gloves are still on, the lid is probably still on, so they can try it first if they like - might save having to get the gloves dirty.

my mate was pi"ssed once and wore my MC gloves, did some serious damage to his walls and mirrors 'testing' them out. As for the gloves, they look as new!

Got yer lid on? Nut 'em

Got yer gloves on? Whack 'em

Got yer boots on? Kick 'em


Someone's gonna have to make a form of martial arts to do with bikes. Bike-fu or something

See my photo album on here... just follow the instructions on the T shirt and avoid fighting at all.

I notice that most drivers gave me a healthy amount of respect when I was riding a black cruiser with a breaker bar strapped across the rear seat.
