Why are {INSERT MANUFACTURER HERE} riders such Douches?

Cheap Bastard
When I drive and I see a rider splitting lanes, I always pull to the side to give them room. Sport Bike Riders seem to be the most courteous, always signaling a thank you. Hog riders always rev their rides just as they pass you with a smug look and seldom say thanks. I so far only remember one in recent weeks who has been nice enough to say thanks.

They think they are hot shit because they are in a trend. And most of them are just white trash scum that ruin the looks of those bikes for us. just my 2 cents ;D
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

Well, I mean, they're not obligated to salute you. They don't wave at me, I don't wave at them. I don't crowd them or anything. I simply choose to safely ignore them. have you see the Southpark episode about Hog riders?
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

You could say the same thing about anyone who owns a Mustang.

Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

Why do hipster kids buy vintage Hondas, build half assed "cafe racers" and think they're cooler than everyone? Why do sportbike guys ride in flip flops and act like children? Why are the only people that ride vintage Brit bikes, uptight old pricks? More importantly, why are we all still so obsessed with bullshit stereotypes? Ive been guilty of it, Ill admit that hands down. And every time I say something like that, I feel like a douche. Do I knoe HD riders who are pricks? Yup. I also know lots of other useless assholes who ride all kinds of other bikes. Not attacking anyone here, honestly, but DTT is about BIKES. ALL BIKES. Sure the major focus is on the cafe styled machines, but everyone is welcome here. Lets not fuck that up please.
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

I dunno what you guys are talking about. I try to wave and/or acknowledge every person on 2 wheels. Sometimes I'm not paying full attention to another bike and miss a wave. They probably think "stuck up prick on his vintage jap crap".

Maybe we shouldn't be feeding a stereotype?
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

IMO, DTT is responsible for a whole new stereotype:
Super posi guys and gals who love the two wheeled art form, can see the smallest diamond in the roughest of rough, and will drop almost everything to lend a hand or ship a much needed part cross country at the drop of a hat.


That's my generalization of 99% of this board and also why DTT is my favorite internet forum/site/place I conduct business. 8)
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

Isn't this kind of a redundant question? We all know what hog riders are like.
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

My dad's owned two Harleys and is looking for a third.

He did, however, kit me out with a featherweight two-stroke and is showing me how to glass my own custom fairing for my cafe project.

The hog doesn't make someone a douche; it just happens to be a sad fact that douches are inexorably drawn to anything they can use to draw attention to themselves.
THey're the guys with the loudest pipes at the worst part of the day who never observe courteous driving practice so you *have* to put up with them. THey're not fast and their hands are numb from their ape-hangers, but they know they forced their values on you.
They're the guys with fifty-caliber *anything* plunked as far to the left of the gun range as they can get so that not only can you not concentrate on anything, but you're getting hit in the face with three ounces of hot brass every few seconds too; they're not hitting shit, but they've still got the shit-eating grin on because theirs is bigger.
They're the guys who will one-up any story you can tell them, no matter how good.
They're the guys who can't seem to get around the fact that their "cool" isn't the same as your "cool".
Their dubious "uncle" always invented the engine that ran on water. Then invariably disappeared, conveniently leaving no trace of their world-shattering violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
They can and have always been able to drink more than you, and no matter what you drink, it's not theirs.

People are dicks.
Let 'em be, at least we don't lie in bed every night thinking about how much we hate ourselves.
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?


I ride a Harley, and I am greatly disturbed to find out that you guys don't like Hog riders (I am actually a HOG member, too :D ) I guess my bike is just not loud enough for you to appreciate, yet...I'm working on that now!

Just kidding, although I do ride a Harley for reals ;)

You're new around here, aintcha boy. :eek:
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

Exactly my point. Some of the coolest people I know ride HD. There are bad apples everywhere, regardless of a logo on their tank. Don't be insulted by a lack of a wave, break down that stereotype and wave to everybody you can.

Except for people that ride 50cc mopeds that go 5 under the speed limit. :D
 
Re: Why are Hog Riders such Douches?

I don't mind "HOG" riders but my neighbor is a douche he told me to sell my bikes (75 cb360 71 cl350 78 SR500) and take the money and buy a "Nice motorcycle" as in a harley.

I'm still open to them I just don't really respect a bike I've seen at least a billion times and the fact that most come off as douches making fun of my bikes or think they're hardasses for passing me with a 6 speaker stereo system blasting in their sons of anarchy apparel while their arms a hung like a retarded chimp and their legs are stuck straight forward like a complete jackass and most of all their "customization" is any plastic piece of chrome you can buy from JCwhitney

Although I see a lot and I mean A LOT of sportster work that is extremely appealing to me especially the off road ones people are building

I have no problems with harleys, just the stereotype DB's who think they own the road. I dont ride a bike just yet, but I have had my experiences in cars, and at bike meets that I go to with my dad (that has a harley). I agree with you catbird, DB's are just people trying to get attention almost no matter the price.
