. Lol no matter how much dagga you smoke, how much glue you sniff and and how much alcohol you drink, do yourself a favour and go to your local security shop take some spray and give yourself a quautersecond spray just in front of your face. And you will realize how effective that stuff is. you can't see or breath. And two hours later your lips still burn. Yes, pepper spray is very effective, if you use the right one. Mist spray might do you more harm than the attacker if the wind blows in the wrong way. Then you hope you manage to get to the spray quickly enough then able to point it in the right way and spray the guy all while trying to stop your bike. Now imagine while doing this, you loose control and crash/fall over, and you have pepper spray on you...I suspect they won't be easy on you. That said...for me personally it's better to at least try to defend yourself than just accept it and go on. Yeah we need to do something, but, most of us live in security complexes, with guards, have a alarms system with armed response, burglar bars on our windows, security gates, dogs etc. And then on a weekend you get bike-jacked, no imagine your riding with your girl/wife, and they rape her? Is it worth it to live like this? I am starting to think it's not...especially if I loo at 1st world countries an their crime stats. I love my country, but do I love it enough to risk the safety of my family on it?
