Tailgater

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

Thanks to all; we gotta stick together. Through the years, I think I've noticed a certain phenomenon regarding tailgaters. I'm a SoCal native, and 'gaters are just a fact of life, as they are everywhere, I guess. However, I did note one thing; when I had a 1200 Sportster Roadster, I put a small H-D sticker in the rear window of my car, and over the three years I had it, I think I noticed a marked reduction in the number of tailgaters I got, and when I sold the Sportster, I removed the H-D sticker, and sonofagun, the number of 'gaters increased significantly. Then, some time later, I put a VETERAN - U.S. ARMY license plate frame on the Yammie FJR1200 I had. Since then, I've kept that plate frame on the Honda CB, and put another one on my BMW, and I think the number of 'gaters went down significantly. This is by no means a scientific study, just a perceived anomaly, if you will. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I wonder if someone has data on this type of thing.
