    Question On a Motorsai, how do you defend yourself/get revenge?

    I expect some of you rotters will complain that this should be in the Motorcycling Section but I’ve read some of that and it seems a bit macho, somewhat technical and often just too anal for me.
    My shiny new motorsai is the first I have ridden in my life, it’s essential as Teelak uses our car for work and I am otherwise stranded at home all day.
    The morning foray into town for the newspaper and a mooch round the farang bars for a chat with the other old gits, is often marred by the lack of consideration of many road users, especially the twats in the big 4WD trucks who regularly cut me up.
    I am loath to kick the offending vehicle (flip flops = damaged foot) and a big stick with a metal point seems a bit drastic, also the blacked out windows most of them have could conceal any amount of unsavoury characters........
    My best idea so far is to fit a paintball gun to the grocery basket thingy on the frront of the Motorsai and splat the bastards, giving me maximum satisfaction and minimal chance of being severely duffed up.

    And Relax.........

    Brilliant idea, go for it, and get lots of photos.
    Where did you say you lived?

    Its a total waste of time getting angry and especially seeking revenge. If someone cuts me up i just call them a cnut under my breath and wait for the next one.

    Eggs, eggs can do wonders for a car windscreen, esp since the first reaction from the driver is to flick the wipers...

    In extreme situatuions, spit on the car or in their general direction.

    They will look at you in absolute horror.

    Or give half the peace sign as a lesser alternative.

    I've found that a raised hand with a middle finger extension does the trick quite nicely.

    If you can't afford a car (buy or rent) walk.

    The most dangerous occupation in Thailand, and that is to get on one of those small pissy little motorsai's when everyone around you don't drive with common sense and care.

    A big fcuk off powerful bike is better and can mostly get you out of difficult and tight situations. As loud as fcuk is also good and something like a Harley or a Kwaka 900 belting along scares the life out of most Thais.

    Though quite dangerous, motorcycling is one of the joys of Thailand.

    Never assume. Think for everyone. Take no shit.

    You shouldn't mess with Thais like that or you can very well find yourself experiencing what its like to be trampled by four wheels, along with your nice shiny motorsai.

    People that partake in road rage tend to regret it as they lay in a hospital bed.

    Not everyone who lives here either has the need or funds for a car.

    the opposite side to that coin is I drive a car and I get absolutely nuts, white line fever about the behaviour of the motorcyles.... I start by refusing to move out of the way when they are driving on the wrong side of the road and then I begin swerving at the pricks to teach them a lesson. (and have to totally restrain myself from physically running them over)
