Well okes, after the knife incident I heard about five nasty horror stories about bikers getting seriously hurt in irene/centurion/r21 routes. It sucks not being able to ride alone where we want to, but i'm not taking any chances anymore, nobody should. I really don't think you'd be able to stop, get the pepper spray out, fire at the attacker..AND stop him in his tracks in the few second you have to react. These skelms know what they're doing and would blink at sticking a knife in your ribs. Was a good story to tell my mates at the club though.
