Ball Peen Hammer

[85 MAX-fan]

So,
some years back I was watching the movie "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", and there was the scene where Lightfoot was driving a delivery van and chasing a Hippie Chick riding a motorcycle.
As he rolled up on her trying to provoke a favorable response she pulled a large ball peen hammer off of the tripple clamps of her bike and proceeded to beat on his truck to repel him. VERY EFFECTIVE.
As much as I love Bearspray, I don't think you could get the desired effect in these circumstances. On the roll, or stopped at a light the Ball Peen Hammer has merrit. Anyone carry this type of device on their ride, and if so how do you store it???:ummm::ummm::ummm::ummm:

I knew a guy that said he would carry a bag of ball bearings in his jacket pocket. He said if anyone messed with him, he would just toss them up into the air and let the car run into them, kinda like a shotgun blast I guess.

Seems like it would be effective.

What happen to carrying a chain around your shoulder under the strap. I always thought that was the weapon of choice for a biker.
And the chicks had long hat pins to stick your with outside the saloon.

Yeah,
I have employed a tube sock filled with 1/2" ball bearings now and again, but the sock will fail if you connect with a car after 6-7 shots. A 2" guard rail nut on about 3' of paracord is better still but a ball peen will have a longer service life.:thumbs up:

Not a big fan of that type of weapon. You may be able to maintain space as long as you are slinging it (particularly if you aren't going down the road when you are swinging it), but you only really get one hit before you have to often duck your own weapon. Not to mention the time it takes wind up again.

One of the guys who used to ride with my father carried a four pound brass hammer on a six inch handle. Didn't have a whole lot of reach but it did put a god awful dent in a door and or bust out a windsheild pretty good. I was just a kid when they where talking about it. The trick was to not swing it but rather just let it fall. Stored it in a tube He mounted on the shock absorber. It had a leather strap that kept it in place. I've never had a need for such.

To be honest with ya, I find that even a long handled ball peen hammer brings me uncomfortably close to my antagonizer.....or maybe it's just that I'm old school...:confused2:...but I prefer a smaller, easier to handle and, in my opinion, much more effective device.....a dbl. bbl. 20 ga. sawed off shotgun. Or even a 410....we are talking very close in work here!

Loaded up with #4's, a charge or two thru the radiator of your opponent and it's pretty much game over!

I realize this is may be viewed by some as a slight 'over-reaction' but I've always been a big fan of 'go ugly early!'

As Rusty said, only in the movies does the biker ride along beating on a cage with a hammer...in real life there's one tap with the hammer, one twitch of the steering wheel, and the biker is road pizza!

Problem these days, is that if you produce one of the weapons mentioned above. The punk will pull a gun and your ******. :biglaugh: As wimpy as it may sound..My solution is RUN!

 

[ninjaneer]

during my commutes i always seem to find a cager that rides my ass. one day at a stop light while a cager was literally sitting on my backwheel, my low fuel light engaged, which also sparked the "idea" bulb over my monkey's head. i've always hated the petcock, so when i got home, i replaced my oil drain plug with an electrical purge valve and connected it to the petcock. the next day, when a cager started riding my ass, i flipped the petcock and released a nasty oil slick. errrrrrrrrrrrrrtt! bwahahahaha bye bye you wretched cager!

my next project involves somehow figuring out how to rig up one of these cager chasers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKxtVfnrQQg

 

[SpecOps13]

Here in Lakeland area, there's a biker who was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, a Ball Peen hammer. It's in court now...

 

[rusty]

The best solution I could come up with:rofl_200:

 

[kaboom]

A certain large Motorcycle Club carries ball peen hammers......and uses it as an unofficial symbol and even sells little ones as keychains:whistlin:

Only problem I have is people parking so close to my bike or car, and bumping the bike with their door when they swing it open. If I see it happen I wait until they have left and back my big ass into their door causing a nice big dent in the door or rear fender pannel. It's usually a SUV loaded with kids and the driver doesn't know how to park in one designated spot (double park).

How True! Regardless if I am in my truck or bike, I always try to park way out in the lots to keep the door dings to a minimum, but it never fails that no matter where you park the idiots will seek your vehicle out and park as close as they can to it! Always a piece of **** car, too. Its like an ******* magnet, it always attracts em.

I had a lady slammed her door into my car hard one day while I was sitting in my truck & I got out raising hell & she said what I did not do any thing I was like ******** she argued then I took my size 13 steel toe & put it in her door & when she hollared I said what I did not do any thing & got in my truck & drove off.

I've been pretty lucky. I've only had one parking lot altercation. I was on an older goldwing when a car tried to run thru the parking lot gate behind someone else and then backed up into me. It was a woman driver who jumped out and started screaming how sorry she was and that she didn't have insurance (mexican national. I lived 5 miles from the border in south tx at the time) and that her husband was going to kill her.

After going around and around I told her to **** off as the tow truck was finally there. By this time her husband showed up. How he got there so fast I have no clue cuz I never made it across the bridge in less then 50 minutes and that was if you started the clock with me sitting in line at the bridge! Since I had stopped threatening to have the police get involved, He decided to go for broke. He wanted my insurance cuz clearly I had rammed his wife and that forced her to stop mid way thru the turn stall and the damage to the hood of her car was there for my fault. I refused since s/he couldn't return the favor. He threatened to call the police. I asked if he needed the number for 911 or if he had already committed it to memory. The fool called.

The police showed up. Told him his wife was at fault. At this point the husband just goes ballistic. He ended up being 'forceably restrained' (20/20 did a special on police brutality of this department in Mc Allen); as far as I am concerned the wack to the head was deserved.

At this point the wife launched herself at one of the two cops so she ended up in chains and getting a free ride. Since there was two responding officers and two cars one stayed to wait for the second tow truck. I got to wave with a smile at the bad man as he was taken away. The ******** spit on the window at me.

At the end of all this my tow truck driver who had been silent thru all this finally turned to me and said in total dead pan, "This job has it's moments." Rest of the ride was in silence. Pretty sure if I had pulled out a ball peen hammer this would have been a different ending.
