Have to "ride in the back"? That's respect? Hmmm. I guess "what you ride" really does matter more than "who you are" to those guys.

A few folks in this thread just keep making themselves look more ignorant each time they post (wont mention names). Grow the fook up already. You gonna bash a 60's Triumph ?...or vintage BSA too, just because yer lil rice rocket yer mom and dad bought ya is faster ????...thats BS.....many of the HA started on Triumphs BTW....
There are Brit freaks out there....BMW freaks....Harley freaks, and Jap freaks....why cause a buncha crap and controversy just because someone favors one brand ?....i dont get that....I been almost 100% General Motors my whole life (mostly Chevy), but Ive owned Fords and Mopars....do I bash the non GM brands ?....no....why ???? because Im an adult....and I RESPECT everyones freedom to chose their own.
You kiddies that are addicted to speed....just so ya know....3/4 of the biker community hope you wrap yerselves around poles or paint a concrete abutment.....why ?....because you give all others a bad name.....
You call the Angels punks ?....they do speed limit....they dont street race....all you clowns on yer rockets give bikers a bad name....insurance rates climb because of you types.
Ive been asked to prospect for both the HA and a few suport clubs. I cant anymore because I ride Jap....but I still party with em, ride with em (in the back natch), but am accepted because of WHO I am....and honestly, WHO you are, means a lot more than what ya ride. When ya grow up, you'll learn that.
Like Trent said....there aint no animosity towards Jappers from Harley riders. It all depends on yer attitude. And a few here have shown why they shoud be shunned....
heres a shot of me at a mostly Harley/Indian/Triumph gathering....ALL accepted me, gave me free beers, etc....its all in your individual attitudes that causes issues....
I saw a guy on a KZ wearin a tee shirt that said "rice is nice"....found out he hit a truck head on fe weeks later while doin about 90 in a 30mph zone....no fookin loss....
Mebbe its the age thing....I dunno......when I was in my 20s, I raced dirt track, and motocross....I ran a Harley XR750 on the flattrack and a Bultaco 250 motocross....right on the edge too....Ive paid for it....broke my spine once....herniated disks....scars all over....splenectomy.....I raced cars on the dragstrip too....10 second 1/4's ansd 130 from a streetcar....when I got older, it went away....sheee-it....I been in an F-105 with the afterburners on and yer cheeks meet yer ears....
But ya cant bash folks who just like to putt, cruise, etc.......when ya get older, ya lose yer "edge", unless ya die first....do what ya gotta do in yer teens and 20s....I did.....but as soon as ya get a family, get a lil older, yer values change....ya slow down some....
My daughter was born 32 yrs ago....I sold my last Harley then....I made her my priority....sold my 911 Porsche too...I didnt ride for 30 years....both my kids are grown and moved on....I started ridin again.....5 yrs now....and Im buildin the sweetest bikes again just like I did in the 70s....
Some of you need to get off yer high horses, and start facing the reality that is life. Yer rice rocket highs wont last forever....you got basically from age 18- 30 mebbe ?...prepare to be an olf fart like me....it hits ya before ya know it....

Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

Hey! my girlfriends family rides all kinds of bikes her dad is 53 and still "gets it" on a dirtbike they have a couple sportbikes and her mom and dad mainly ride Harleys on the street. Girlfriends parents and their friends-who almost all ride harleys are a rowdy bunch, but they are clean cut older people who are business owners and respectable people in town.
I'll tell a joke if I may, Where is the best place to hide money from a harley rider,
Under a bar of soap... ten year old kid told me that! its a joke calm down

I find the whole factionalization of the sport to be ridiculous.
As I see it there are 2 basic riders - those who love and find joy in simply riding, regardless of the chosen mount. They understand that the act of riding trancends by far a brand or riding style.
Then there are those who do it for an image...
I will never understand the - insert chosen brand here - or walk mentality.
I've been snubbed by many a HD rider on the road and couldn't care less.Last edited by dorkburger; 12-09-2015, 10:14 PM.sigpic
