Had a crazy person yell and throw a Jarritos bottle at me for no reason other than they hate bikes. Chased him down for a mile until he illegally turned to get away from me and I just went home.

Wished I had a spark plug that day…

Ooh, what's the sparkplug trick??

I don’t know nothing about nothing but word on the street is how the ceramic part of a spark plug can be hammered to pieces, pieces that shatter in specific sharp shapes; Shapes that when thrown focus a lot of energy to one point which defeats the style of safety glass used in windshields and car windows. Basically they have a brittle tension strength which is set off by a single point of hard ceramic. Light energy to instant shatter.

Youtube has the videos, I don’t know nothing about nothing.
