I don't much care for 'the attitude' or their hardware, either. Be scraped off a Kenworth bumper at any speed kills you just as dead as blowing a hole in a V-rated tire at +150 MPH on a Hyabusa.

I look at it this way. Those imported 'Fast and Furious' cars that need to hit 17K RPM before you can ease the clutch out are probably more dangerous to the average biker.

And, of course I remember 'adults' telling me that I would never amount to anything riding that Harley with 'the wheel so far out in front.'

I think pimples and riding junk is an American rite of passage.

 

feeling better, that's good.

They're out there catching wind,,,their way. Could have been me (or you) 30 years ago.
Move to the right, maybe give'em a wave as they go by.

 

It's not unreasonable to assume they're just a bunch of stupid kids having a good time. I don't mind it when they risk their own safety. It does bother me when their fun comes at the expense of other peoples safety.

I recall doing some pretty unwise crap when I was a stupid kid. I wouldn't get too worked up over it. Besides...they're the ones sporting lung muffins. :ntlgh:

I agree with Flyer to a point. But Wheely's main issue (I think) is their disregard for his own safety.

Fast riding is part of the appeal of many, but one shouldn't endanger others in pursuit (no pun intended) of carving corners.

 

Certain Sport Bike Riders have a specific disregard for safety however they are at least on two wheels instead of four. If your dream bike is a Harley Davidson and you own and ride one, great. If your dream bike is a Yamaha R1 and you own and ride it, That is great too. I owned a sport bike for years when I was younger. There is no other feeling like it in the world to go that fast in such a short distance, When I was 19 I had my dream bike, a Honda CBR 600, I am now 28 and in a different stage of life and have my Ultimate Dream Bike a Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide.

As long as we are all on two wheels, it is us against them (Cagers). They may be riding American Steel Later in life.

You too, huh :roflback:

Hey I can understand not enjoying someone else putting you in danger by stupid manuevers but not really in tune with you on the other part. A buddy I ride with has over 400K miles on his hogs but also has other rides, one of which is a really cool Yamaha FJR sport touring bike. (link to pic and more about the bike is here: http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Articles/yamaha_fjr1300.htm) I was looking that thing over this morning thinking it would be really fun to take that baby for a spin.

@gree:

By the time the fifteenth guy was rolling by me I was spitten luggues on them.

Becareful with this. Meet the right hot head like myself who's CCW and you could have a very ruined day. :gun:

 

IThe real reason they dont get harleys is that they dont pay that well at Burger king! Phil

I get a laugh out of **** like this. Not everyone wants a Harley, definitly not crotch rocket riders. The cruisers, maybe.

I get sick of people whinning about crotch rockets. Who gives a f$ck. Maybe it bothers you they got more balls then you. .

Going out to Sturgis I passed scores of Harleys, seems anything over 70s scares them.

Just for the record I have never owned a crotch rocket. But nothing against them

 

While I am at it, it pisses me off when people won't get out of the left lane too. Wisconsin seems to be very ignorant of that.

What bothers me are the ones (described above) who drive like total assholes with no regard for anyone's safety. If they choose to kill themselves, that's their choice. Putting me and my family and everyone else on the road in danger isn't a choice they get. I'll defend my family's safety and mine from assholes of whatever kind.

Balls? No...stupidity and recklessness.

This is so very true.

HA! Drive south of the boarder and watch!:dry:

 

I dont condeme them all (Just the Azzhooles) but yesterday I had my first run in with some power ranger punks. I was crusin down the highway minding my own business when a group of 20 or so rice riders decide to fly by me at 90 plus miles an hour whipping into my lane within a foot of me as they passed. By the time the fifteenth guy was rolling by me I was spitten luggues on them. Wont they be suprised when they firgure out it wasent bugs. Anyway what gets me is that if I wanted to go fast like that I could trade in my Harley and get 3 of those cheap plastic nut chruncher bikes. The real reason they dont get harleys is that they dont pay that well at Burger king! Those tighty whitys should try pulling that shiite knowing that they would meet me up the road at the Biker bar. What a bunch of live at home with mama boys!

OK nowI feel better, time to ride,
Phil

amen!!! it happened to me once too often this season, as it did my SO. Its fine if they wanna ride that way, but don't endanger my life:nunu:

 

Is the problem they came to close to you, or that they passed you?

 

You must have alot of snot in your nose to spit multiple luggies on guys going by you at 90.

but when you passed them was it within a foot of em???
i'd be wantin to kick some ars if it happened to me too!!!:spank: :nunu: :boxin: :stupid:

 

I couldn't care less what they were riding, stupid moves are stupid moves and deliberately cutting back in so close to another rider is stupid. Endanger my life and you are endangering your own, if I ever catch up to you.

This "atleast they were in the wind" chit is just that, chit. I don't care if you are on a bike, in a car, a truck or flying in a fukkin helicopter if you aren't controling your vehicle safely and are endangering my life, I will have something to say about it, assuming you didn't kill me with your carelessness.

 

I dont care if they ricers rider faster,farther, just dont endanger me. In San Diego we scrape them off the road at least once a month because of these antics. Its stupid of them.

Like I said, I am mad at only (these AZZholzz) OVER TWENTY Bikes went from the fast lane, crossed 2 lanes to wizz pass me within a foot of me and some of them crossed right in front of me. I dont have a problem if someone is doing a "fly by" AKA "Topgun " ,the issue is they were REAL close endangering me, harrassing me, not "passing"(As well as the cagers they were weaving through).

Only Bike 15 and the last one got my spit, and if they pulled over after that stunt they would have been the one to have a real BaaDDD day.

All that being said, That probably was me 20 years ago,as we get older we forget that we did that stuff as well.

Today, I ride with anyone no matter the bike, as long as they respect others!


Feeling even more better,


Phil

 

I got a good laugh a few weeks ago. There is a small burger shack at the east end of the run over the mountain from Sperryville to Luray, VA. The cops empty their ticket books about every weekend because of the way these pricks ride. Several dick heads were there bragging about how fast they were going across the mountain (over 100 mph), blah, blah, blah. I live in the area and thought a guy getting a shake was an off duty state trooper. So I decided to listen. He was. He let them go for a while and then laid into them like there was no tomorrow. He told them that he could arrest them right them since they had admitted to crimes in his presence and the number of witnesses to their bragging meant he probably wouldn't need to worry about reading them their rights. He ended up taking their plates #s and descriptions and told them that he would watch for them. I was laughing my ass off and egging them on to try to get away that they didn't have to take that sh!t. They looked like they had seen a ghost and left at about five miles under the speed limit. The trooper used the shack phone to call ahead for an on duty to "watch" for them. I bet they got tickets before they got out of the county.

 

fly by me at 90 plus miles an hour

90 mph? Ha..gotta do better than that!

 

It doesn't matter if someone rides a rice burner or a Harley, its the disreguard for other people that gets me.
A few years ago on a toy ride for a local childerns hospital on the way home a friend of mine had 3 "HARLEYS" cut in front of him to catch an exit and the last one didn't have enough room and clipped his front tire. Sent them both to the hospital with 2 torn up bikes.
IMO it's not what you ride but respect for your fellow riders.

I agree totally, trooper!

It has nothing to do with having balls...only STUPIDITY!
:stupid:

 

I just watch my rear view mirror and get the hell out of the way when they come by., I always figure they are going to pass me so I gve them lots of room. Those rocket riders make for interesting Darwin Awards.
