Been Around the Block
So I'm hanging out at my favorite bar which is a veterans bar drinking and having fun. A few of the members are sporting thier leather vests and flying colors of the club (American Legion Riders not a gang) and one of them is a guy I know who up until that point has been really super cool. We bs then I ask how to join the riders. Quickly his demeanor changes and states, "well we need to see your bike first." I told him i ride a vespa and its street legal. He states it has to keep up so after showing him the pic of my cafe project, "oh thats really cool man. your like fonzerelli from happy days! You have to be like 1500cc's MINIMUM!'
Of course I call bullshit, he tries to tell me that it need to be that big in order to keep up with his fatboy harley : I ask,"What if I have a Harley Sportster?" He stammers and runs off before coming back and telling me, "Ok, 650 and THATS IT! Nothing else would be able to keep up." Now this is funny, I'm drunk but not stupid and now I'm starting to be a little pissed, "Well my buddy over there has a GSXR 600, I'm sure that would do fine."
"nope! too slow. he couldnt keep up with my 1500cc finely tuned American machine." guy is smoking some sherm.
WTF. Its a veterans club thats supposed to be open to all vets and members of the American Legion. I'm going to start a veterans club that allows any bikes but not assholes. think we'd have more fun anyways.
