On my first motorbikes top case I had a 'I love pinball' sticker. That worked like magic. Somehow the combination of bikes and pinball scares people.

Only in the dark it did not help, but then I could push the center stand down to the tarmac to release two rows of sparks. That made them slam the breaks for sure. Only did that when there were no other cars around, just the gator.

Later in life the bike started to leak oil at higher revs, releasing black smoke from the pipe. I could just shift down a gear or two and watch them struggle to clear their windscreen again.
It also had an 'I fill up with Shell Pura' sticker. Wonder if that helped sales.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
