This is why my brain hurts sometimes.

If I pull out 4 of my front teeth with pliers, eat McD's 3 times a day until June, and wear shorts for riding gear.....just maybe I could fit in :p
 
I'm a big fan of natural selection. Big fan.
These people are out there... breeding. Pissing in our gene pool. Being encouraged by others who share the same horrible recessive genes and unforked family trees. Spitting in the face of whatever higher purpose molded us into the dominant species.
Wow... looks like I forgot my zoloft today... My apologies... :-[
 
I don't think Idaho has helmet laws. Just be patient.

On the flip side, I'm sure they are really very nice people who would bring you parts if your stuck on the side of the road if you needed.
 
deviant, I thought you were spot on. Especially liked the unforked family tree part. I can't wait to pass these folks this summer. Somehow I feel like it's best to be upwind....

I hear you, brother. I try not to be a spelling or grammar Nazi, but if someone can't express themselves clearly in print, I get really frustrated. I'll make exceptions if English isn't a person's primary language.
 
Wow. Just.......wow.

Yep, they're out there. But, as pointed out they probably WOULD be the first to stop and help out.
No they aren't pretty, and no they aren't riding fun bikes but they are riding and open to others.....that puts them in a higher tax bracket in my opinion, homely or not.

But....I wouldn't kiss one of'm!
 
Welcome to 30% of all riders in western PA. Than theres the 30% who are under 25, on a CBR or Gixxer in tennis shoes and a Nickleback T-Shirt with their teenage girlfriend on the back with no helmet. And of course the 30% who wear a suit and tie all week at work and drive a 70k BMW, but come saturday there BIKERS!!!! They have the chaps and single poorly done HD tattoo on their shoulder to prove it! These folks are the worst. Starting in high school and even now if they need a hand I tend bar at my buddys dads place. Really cool joint, and in the summer they open up the back by bringing in dozens of huge live palm trees and 50 ton of sand. Its right on the river and makes ya feel almost like your at the beach. Its not a dive bar though so when all the "bikers" come in (and the do in droves) on their super clean 40k HDs look out. The weeknd warrior folks are the rudest, most egotistical bastards Ive ever had to deal with. The folks from the first 30% are usually genuine and nice. They work hard for what they have and it shows. There kind to the waitresses and staff and dont think that the fact that they ride makes them special. I must admit, most of the guys I know are in the first 30%. Nicest guys (most of em') out there. They may not be pretty, but at least they have a soul. The "weekenders" always start shit, drink too much (which is fine if you are a seasoned vet. ;)) have a "fuck you, Im special" attitude, and dont tip for shit. The only thing worse is their asshole wives. They have even more of an attitude.

Sorry for the long rant. Its just almost time for them to start detailing (or more likely paying someone to detail, ive already had several guys ask how much Id charge to do it for em'. Im doing one next week for a guy. Sure Ill take $120 to wash your bike, you tool.) their bikes and swarming out of their gated developments here. I can feel the smug arrogance in the air....
 
:D Yeah, I know it's not fair to dismiss the person with poor grammar. It's one of my prejudices that I'm working on. Not meaning to diverge from the original post, but this makes me think of preconceived notions about others. My wife overheard a couple in Wally World last night. The husband was sniffing some lotion called "Cornhusker" or something, and the wife smelled it and said "Ewww! That stinks! It smells like black people or chinky people or something! Put that back!". Niiice, eh?
 
I've never hung out with the HD crowd cause that's just not my thing. I've been with sport bike guys for a long time. Yes, there are some USDA Grade A Prime Assholes in that crowd, but I can count them on one hand. I've always wondered how the RUBS act. I've gotten glimpses of their behavior at the Dyno Drags and seen them strutting around in their black HD t-shirts in Lowe's Hardware, but never en masse. I feel for you... :D
 
Its amazing too watch man. I just really dont like attitude. I have no time or patience for it. I have NOTHING against anyone for what they ride (or if they ride at all) or how they live. That group mentality of so many of the HD guys is infuriating. Your not a fucking outlaw!!! Why cant ya just ride, enjoy the weather and company and beautiful roads around here without being a dick, ya know? My buddy goy punched in the face at a local bar one night because he was "standing too close" to this guys bagger. He was 5 feet away and the drunk prick (who it turned out was a doctor) started a fight with him. The guy actually said, "i saw you looking at my hog, and I dont like it". Ya, than why did you spend 10 grand on ugly shit to bolt to it so it could be seen from 100 yards away?

Thank you for posting a scenario to support my view. Black people or Chinky people? They're too stupid to be openminded. Stupid is, is stupid does, sir.

I had to laugh cause I've heard that stuff growing up, not quite a phrase like that, but I've heard my fair share. I'm Asian and my wife is Caucasian. She told me she got this knife-sharp feeling in her gut when she heard that woman say those things. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Your not a fucking outlaw!!! Why cant ya just ride, enjoy the weather and company and beautiful roads around here without being a dick, ya know?" That's funny shit, and so true! Sorry about your buddy, VonYinzer. If I were your buddy, I would've sued the doctor.
 
No doubt he used that story to get some nurses wet! Ever been to a dyno drag at a local HD shop? The old school bikers eventually warm up and will start talking to sportbike guys once they see what kind of numbers are posted up. It's the gearhead commonality that does it. RUBS, I'm not so sure, cause none have ever struck up a conversation with me! :D
 
I went on a ride last year, I was invited by a bunch of sport bike guys, Mine was the oldest by a solid 20 years. A few min after I showed up I learned what "Chicken Strips" were and that my rear tire was smaller than all of there front tires... This was my first highway ride longer than 10km test burns. I was still having carb problems and the bike wouldn't brake 125km to save my soul. I told them I was having some top end issues and and continued to just chat about bikes and so on.

We mounted and hit the road. Things were cool till we hit the first turn off on the highway. All I saw was tail lights fading in the distance. I never saw them again till I ran in to a few at work after the weekend. They had no idea where I went or when...

Thanks for making sure I wasn't dead in a ditch or a hood ordainment.

First rule for anyone on rides around here is don't leave anyone behind, unless you're getting help.

Went on a classic ride with some mates and the local club last year. Over 200 bikes rocked up, everything from a 1909 Triumph through 30's Vincent 1000cc twins, 60's BSA outfits and guys on modern sportsbikes. I was on my Aprilia RS125, and mates were on a ZX6 and a Honda CT110.

We roared past everyone going at 40~45mph at the top whack of my mates CT100 (50mph). He rode like a champ even though he had zero power haha, we loved every minute of it. One guy on a Harley got the shits but most people saw the fun in them being overtaken by something with about 9hp.

On the way back we took a different route so we didn't have to overtake so much, myself and the friend on the zx-6 having occasional blasts through the odd corner or two then waiting for the 110 steeded mate. I had to have more frequent shoot-aheads purely because my sparkplug carboned up when I wasn't on song, but thats a two-stroke for you. At the end of the day we thought it was a good change to shooting past everything at 85~100mph, we really got to take in some good country.

Oh yeah, and the mate on the CT110? He almost took out the 'modern classic' award! Hahaha, gotta love this country.

Cheers - boingk
