Harley dickheads

[Big Dave]

If you treat a sccoter as a large motorised skateboard and design tricks for it - they are a lot of fun dontchaknow.

The 10" wheel gutter re-entry is a fave.

[MIXONE]

If it's got wheels I can have fun on it.


Fuck I hate people who generalise.

Exaggerators are 20 billion times worse.

I wave to cops lately. Haven't had a ticket for 2 years now.

Must be doing the wrong 'wave' then ;)

[imdying]

Yay a waving thread :D

I only give the nod to nice sportsbikes, but not because I don't like other types of bikes, they're just the ones I identify with.

[peasea]

nice sportsbikes

ROFLMFO, no such thing.

Although Genie will tell you a Ninja 250 is a nice sportsbike but she's a girl.:innocent:

What's not nice about sports bikes?

How long have you got?

Butt ugly is a good start and that takes care of 99.9% of em.
The rest are just ugly.

[sammcj]

I personally think Harleys and Jap look-a-likes are the uglyist bikes I've seen, doesn't mean I can't see why people like them.

But what do I know, I ride a teapot.

[doc]

If a shop I regularly used (for anything) offered me a loan scooter I'd pick it up and throw it at them.


And never go back. Period.

So you didnt wave then.

Easy to say when your got a HD, my sporty has 80k on it and its never seen a shop since it wobbled out of the showroom.

:bleh:

Ferk yor not polynesian are ya ?

I nod more than I wave. I'm usually scratching with the left hand.

[peasea]

What about a nodding thread?

[sammcj]

Yeah I hear the cops respond well to this one:

*nods*

There used to be an internerd bikers site called "Nodding Dogs"...

[sammcj]

They have the same problems over in the UK:

"I nod at every one in the UK.

If they don't nod back I put it down to the fact they where paying attention to other things in/on the road, mind you if they are on a harley I put it down to them being twats. http://www.bikechatforums.com/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif "

Well today on my way back to Palmy from Taihape I had a group of bikers pass me, about 20 of them, nealy all Harleys, and not one of the tough looking fuckers waved to me! I bet some of them were itching to wave to me but were worried they may look soft waving to Honda in front of their peers:laugh:

[Molly]

With all that life has to offer and all that can be experienced in the little time we have here, I can't fuckin' believe so many of you give two fucks about who waves and who doesn't and who rides what. You're all sad bastards for caring and I'm a sad bastard for writing this reply.

[Big Dave]

>>so many of you give two fucks<<

I gave at the office.

Ferk if anyone has trouble with waving. Try this for a recent experience. Was givin the shop loan scooter when I dropped bike off for servicing.

Leather jacket and full face helmet riding home down S'thern Motoway during peak hour traffic on a friggen scooter.

No one waved at me,

[SIZE="1"]I will never live down the look from a van full of Islanders . They looked like they felt sorry for me :crybaby:

Well peasea, scooter smooter, whatever, it sure beats first class walking!

But I hear what you are saying doc!

I use one in Christchurch when my bike has been in for servicing, with all my riding gear on I kept feeling I had to explain to everyone around me at the lights! :lol:

Personally I feel sorry for scooter riders, because I felt so exposed to danger while riding it!

The old biker saying that,

" everyone else on the road is trying to kill you", is amplified a thousand times while you are on a scooter, IMHO!

[sammcj]

Personally I feel sorry for scooter riders, because I felt so exposed to danger while riding it!

Agreed!
Especially since almost none of them wear proper gear.
Saw two people on a nifty yesterday wearing short sleeves, jandals and shorts.

Especially their tyres - they are small and unstable. I've watched them on the main road, and they wobble all over the place - not to mention in the wind.

Why not get a real bike? Much more safer and fun too :woohoo:

The vast majority of scooter riders are not real bikers. They have no knowledge regarding bikes and biking. For all purposes and intents they are the "joe public" and for the joe public, scooters look safer because your legs sit behind something (as opposed to being exposed like on a bike) and the position is closer to the position in a car.

Maybe so - but they are actually less safe.......

exactly, tis not a real bike unless you can get a knee down :woohoo:
Or in my case, unless someone else has been known to get a knee down on it

speaking of which, can harley riders get thier knee downs?

I started off on scooters (proper italian ones with gears and a clutch I might add!) and regard myself as a biker now! But, hooning around against all those Superdreams, RD's, KH's and GT's taught me a lot about machine control and that its not just about the bike but the rider!
That said, I still have a soft spot for those stupid little wheels, pogo-stick suspension, non-existent brakes and lights that wouldn't even attract a moth, ahhh them were the days!!!

[duckonin]

harley riders can be like that, as they are known for being "wild" and "mischievous".........at the end of the day, your bike is faster than theirs so they are lower on the food chain :cool:

i better scram before a harley fan reads this post :msn-wink:

Yeah but a harley rider doesn't give a flying fuck if your bike is faster than theirs, their 'Harley' is their ride and thay shall ride it the way they want to, slow, slower of as fast as it can go, not all motorcyclists are speed fanatics..
