Rely on your fellow mans concern for your well being on a bike as little as possible. You can't afford it.

Yeah, in a moment of stupidity I did a brake check on a car that was tailgating me on Rte 4.. and as SOON as I did it I said to myself.. .. "MORON, WTF are you thinking!??"

And as you well know, I generally don't lolly-gag in the left lane..

If you can prove that they knew you were coming, and didn't just open the door to dump a coffee (folks who do this in parking spots should be fed to piranhas one limb at a time, and dont detach the limbs first) or spit, whatever. Barring intent, it's gonna be hard getting a dime.

I will admit to the occasional brake check, but do have a steel beam backing up my bumper.

A towing receiver or a demolition derby modification?

Mopar made a very nice tow rig for the Charger, the reciever inserts on a vertical axis, so when not installed, nothing hangs below the bumper.....but up inside, its a 2 inch beam curved to match the contours of the plastic bumper cover.... when i got rear ended a couple years back (lady on phone going 35 or better in the rain hit and pushed a minivan into me as I was stopped to enter my driveway) the only mark on my car was imprints of his plate screw heads in the plastic:)

Even if you can prove all that stuff - and get money out of the other driver - it still won't help you heal any faster.

That is pretty cool looking, I would add that to my Jetta if such were available.

Oh, but the looks from the purists when they see a utility trailer hooked to the back of an SRT:) You would thing I had smeared poop all over the Mona Lisa
