How I got to 12750 Notoriety: Bike Invaders

The final result. I now have ugly large UI portraits of invaders that really don't help at all by the way.
A few people have questioned how I knew where to look to suspicious levels.
I want to point out first, in case you didn't know that NPCs will NEVER ride bikes. The highlight of this montage is focused on how invaders will spawn on a bike if you are riding one as they join your session. If you combine this knowledge with say, how invaders always tend to spawn behind the victim, it makes for easy wins all around.
Also you don't even need focus, Get a Blume contract and wait maybe 4 seconds before someone joins your game during evenings.
Most people (about 5 out of 6) would just rush straight at my general direction.

It is getting to be such a grind to max my notoriety. I'm at 10500ish and i havn't recieved more than 75 for an invasion/succesful defense since i got the "extra money from online contracts" skill, yet every time i fail i lose 150-300. I keep invading people because i enjoy it but damn if that final skill was actually useful i'd be pretty annoyed.
can you get above 12500 or does it cap out? And can you lose it and drop below the requirement for the last skill?

No, you can get way higher. #1 on XBL leaderboards has ~50k IIRC.

They also need to fix the sniper rifle. One bullet anywhere on a truck ruins the engine.

yeah i'm fine with the destroyer wrecking motorcycles, sedans, etc. in one shot but a fire truck or a dump truck? fuck off with that.

Why do people bothering use bikes during online play? I have never seen an NPC on a bike, ever.

When the host is on a bike (the person being invaded), it automatically puts the invader on a bike when they spawn in.
You can always get off and get in a vehicle, but sometimes they place you really close.

One of those "first entry of a new franchise" problems, like Altair plunging to his doom every two steps.

When do they even realize that you don't use a bike during an Online Hack.

I was doing the same for a bit, but it just feels so cheap. I really hope this is something that is patched soon (either NPC's will ride motorbikes or you don't spawn in a copy of their vehicle).
I doubt it will be though :(
