I heard that either the insurance is cheaper if bikers use a ‘L’ plate, or that you can ride a motorbike legally even though you haven’t passed the official test to get a license? I have always wondered, what is it all about??

You will know when it’s time. It will seem to be low on power, and will stumble at higher rpms or seem to run out of power at high rpms.

Having been riding my Harley since 2005, I have had to deal with, maybe once or twice a year, the occasional motorist who seems to either have an extreme disregard for my safety as the expense for them having their lane of choice, or even a few who seem downright intent on messing with me. Luckily I’ve been able to roll back the throttle and leave these nuisances behind me, but lately had a riced out Mustang that not only thought I needed to be bump-drafted (didn’t give him the chance to bump but wasn’t gonna risk it either) but he had the capability to keep up with me as I tried to lose him on my way home, on the wide open highways here in Iowa where the only thing slowing me down was my Harley’s sprocket ratio, where the engine at 100mph starts literally shaking the bike apart. I’ve had to upgrade my mirrors to get them to stay where I want them aimed when hitting these RPMs. Luckily, I was able to use two 18 wheelers to bait him into following me into the offramp only lane, and then shift lanes into being in front of the semi’s, with the gap I shifted lanes through closed moments after I had taken it, forcing the mustang to exit. The lane-shift in front of the semi’s was not dangerously close, but the speeds were too high for my taste. Long story short, I pulled off on the next exit and went into a diner for a nice bathroom break and to let the adrenaline out of my system.
After all this, I told this to one of my friends who has been riding since 2002 (although on an R1 for a few, now on a Hayabusa) and said, somewhat jokingly, that “Don’t drivers like this make you just want to weld a bracket onto your fork tube to always carry a MAC-10 in there so you at least have some defense?” to which he replied that he actually keeps a cheap 357 revolver up in the cowls of his Hayabusa for just that reason, and even mentioned that he has only “had to fire it once” although he did not elaborate. I would probably say I believe him about 80% probability.
Now yes there are legality issues one has to consider. But when a street racing uninsured punk decides risking my life with his car sounds like fun, then it’s natural law to say that I have the same right to turn the tables on him in defense of my own life. But the question is not really whether it’s justified or not, to carry a pistol for self defense in this situation, the question is just simply, DO people carry for this reason? Even a .22 to pop a radiator would stop a tailgating wanna-be hit-and-run driver, I would think.
