Ok, I get it. I understand why you like the bike that you ride. Maybe you are way into the saddle bags and the tassels. Perhaps you are stuck on the stupid amount of horse power your stretched drag bike generates. Maybe you can't get over the fact that you ride a restored beater that cost you what three modern sport bikes cost. Yeah, you are so into all of this that you think anybody that rides anything else is completely lost and missing it. That's fine. I would be the last person in the world to try to win you over to one style of bike or another. All I am asking is that you not hate.
Last weekend I rode a total of about 10 hours. Over that time period, I can't remember how many riders I saw not chunkin' a deuce to another rider that wasn't riding the same style bike.
Really guys? That is so stupid. It makes you look like a total ass. If someone shouts out to you, shout back please. This isn't about what bike you ride or how cool you think you look in your black vest with your pit hair hanging out. This about being a community of motorcycle riders that respect each other and look out for one another on the road.
I'm not saying I want to get an invitation to your backyard BBQ and wet t-shirt contest (I would totally be there though if you did). I'm just saying that when the helmets are on (or not,in your case) and the engines are revving, lets show some mutual respect.
Let's show the dudes locked in their mini-vans that we have something special. We have our bikes and THAT, somehow, makes us a family.
I'm on the fence! Every single time I see another rider headed my way..i pause and wait. I wait just a little longer than the other rider to chunk the duece first. On the flip side if I see a sport rider headed my way, I take the steps to chunk that duece first. LOL. Ya its not right and you make good points about being a family of riders. But (those guys) chose those bikes to ride and have without saying a word built a wall between harley's and rice burners. They have a opinon of us and we have a more than likely idea of them. In the long run nobody wants to see a rider down, and we must work together to punish the real bastard in this whole world of riding....(the cars).
