Harley dickheads

[Johnny Fartpants]

This is my first post....
So yesterday (Sunday) I'm doing a trip from Auckland to Hamilton to drop off
a package to a customer. I'm riding a near new 2009 (first registered) Honda
CB 1300 S. Pretty quick bike that loves eating up the road. Got my first speeding ticket in more than 10 years on it last week doing 130km going thru Meremere. Fair cop and all that. Cop informs me that they have a 10k grace limit "so if you keep it below 110 k's you won't get a ticket". Now keeping a bike like that below 110k's on a trip down SH1 is a drag and takes a lot of effort, but I like having a licence - and there are other roads where you can open them up. So on the return trip I'm coming along the top of the Bombays sitting exactly on 110 when up ahead I see 3 Hogs cruising along at about 95-100. I'm 46, so I have some idea of how the world works and I start thinking "I'm moving slightly faster than these guys and I will be catching up to them soon. What's the proceedure for passing a squadron of Harleys on a big fast Jap bike?". As I got closer I could make out they weren't accountant/lawyer types out playing on their new toys, but obviously hard core "Live to Ride" types with noisy noisy stupid pipes and high rise handle bars. Now if I hadn't been ticketed last week I would probably have blown by them at 140k's and not given it a second thought, but as I was trying desperately to stick to 110, I'm
starting to think "what's gonna happen when I slowly pass by them on my shiny red and white Honda?". So anyway I slowly cruise past them and carry on that long downhill run at the start of the southern motorway heading back into Auckland. By the time I get to Takanini traffic has started to thicken up a bit so I start to slow down. I check my mirrors and I see Hog Boy looming up. He passes by me in the slow lane gesturing wildly with his middle finger with his buddies in convoy. So I flip him the middle finger back and they all go off with their hand gestures. So I then give the Honda a little twist and blast past all 3 of them at 160k. By the time I slow back down they are nowhere to be seen. My thoughts on this whole episode would be.....

1) A large percentage (but of course not all) of Harley riders seem to be total morons.
2) What the fuck is their problem??
3) Riding a slow, ugly, noisy piece of shit does not make you King of the Road.
If you don't like being passed, buy a fuckin' Hyabusa.

[trailblazer]

welecome to kb. nah not all harley riders are like that i know a couple of them and they are pretty decent people.

[gammaguy]

dont sweat it .

they are just jealous.

funniest part of it all is they were probably on the ACC protest runs and felt all comradey and brotherly in the face of the common enemy.

now all of a sudden you are just another guy on a "rice burner"who threatens their self created delusional world where "if you aint harley.you aint shit"

with hypocrisy like that,why even take them seriously?:whocares:

[Headbanger]

I can't see the problem, They think your a dickhead, You think they are dick heads.


I'd say your all correct.


And I'm real impressed that gammaguy made up a backstory......The more imaginary detail the better.

Yeah I know. I apologise in advance. I do know a couple of Harley guys and they're cool. I'm prolly just venting a little bit. But there definitely is an attitude out there, and sometimes (eg up at Puhoi) it can get a bit uncomfortable.

strangely enough,my imagination wasnt all that stretched....

[AD345]

I'm missing out on so much. '

I don't ride a harley but I bump into plenty of people who do and I've never had ANY of these interesting adventures that some of you have

The Puhoi has never been anything but a welcoming place so I can't start there

[Katman]

My thoughts on this whole episode would be.....

1) A large percentage (but of course not all) of Harley riders seem to be total morons.


Or maybe you just think too highly of yourself.

[woodyracer]

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:

Life gets complicated when I ride a Harley this week and a Honda next though.

I have to change rank generalisations and tar brushing.

[McJim]

I am so glad I ride a Ducati which means I am above all of this Harley versus ricer bickering :rofl: :Pokey:

[nudemetalz]

I am so glad I ride a Ducati which means I am above all of this Harley versus ricer bickering :rofl: :Pokey:

Likewise with having a Guzzi...

[breakaway]

Yep, seen Harley riders like that. Ape hangers, stupidly loud exhausts, absolute disregard for saftey, tailgating, and generally not riding to the conditions. They do it all. And they probably think they're hot shit.

Usually they're the likes of mongrel mob or similar.

Interesting thread........I had a Tl and some "okay" Harley boys would get on the piss with me but not ride with me beause my bike was from Japan. Personally I don't give a fuck what bike people ride. I just like to ride.

Newbee Triumph Riders as well.....gay as mofo's

[ItsTheHamma]

most of them can't ride to save themselves - it's all the image.....a rather stupid one....There are no Triumphs in Superbikes cos they are crap

[Elysium]

Hmmm, not once in your story did you mention them waving so I say they're dickheads.

[Paul in NZ]

I pity the dyslexics....the word is pities! :rofl:

Is it just me or is there is a cruel irony in making the word dyslexic so dificult to spell.

Bullshit. Mobsters don't generally ride bikes mate.

i was thinking the same why would they bother?

[jtzzr]

I have a mate who rides a Harley who says that and drinks beer with me, weird fucker. Fuck ,I'm not even sure he hates anyone .

Haha this post sums it up perfectly...

[lanci]

I don't have an issue with the Harley guys but you may find this interesting...

[scumdog]

Meh, life is too short to worry about such trivialities....they (apparently) don't like you passing them and then overtake you?
Who cares.

Maybe somebody who rides a bike just like yours is shaggin' the Harley dudes mrs behind his back?;)

[FROSTY]

Just a thought for the OP.maybee you did something that in their eyes was stupid or dangerous to them.
The whole thing escalated from there.

The way I see it some riders are dickheads no matter what they ride. Take the guy that attempted to pop a wheelie on a double yellow line in heavy traffic.

[fliplid]

riding a harley isnt enough,you need to OWN one,embrace the lifestyle.

i suggest a pair of leather Harley underpants at least..

Interestingly enough new Harleys are becoming more and more Asian in origin every day....

Harley Davidson...... Made in Asia, mostly assembled in the Mighty US of A.... hehehe

I know it makes the neck veins stick out a bit on some of the die hard Harley boys I ride with whenever I mention the shiney air filter with made in Thailand stamped on it... :whistle:

Thats gotta be putting a big dent in the typical Harley Riders Ego so treat them with respect cos they are a little sensitive and fragile under that Hard as Nails exterior.

[Grubber]

most of them can't ride to save themselves - it's all the image.....a rather stupid one....There are no Triumphs in Superbikes cos they are crap

And the Daytona 675 was voted best supersport 4 years running because.....
Hmmmm. Might need to rethink the "crap" statement.

Hey, I really don't think many Harley rider's have a problem but yours are sticking out like dog's balls! :lol: Try to get over yourself, have a look in the mirror! :doh:

I assure you, I didn't do anything stupid or dangerous that could have caused offence. I sat there on a steady 11O and slowly moved past them. What was I supposed to do - respectfully sit behind behind them and hope that they would speed up a bit?

[mattian]

You get wound up easily. You had to pass them at 160ks because he gave you the finger????? How long have you been riding for? because its amazing you've survived this long.

I too would get pissed off if some harley riders flipped me off for no reason,but I wouldn't speed like that..

Just passing a harley is offensive - did you not know this????

Thats so Farkin Funny on so many levels.....

I already sent it on to a few of my Harley mates ... expect the phone to ring any minute now...... hahahahaha

Thanks for the laugh Lanci and The Everlasting... bling on its way.

[Paul in NZ]

Oddly enough - just the sight of me on the Moto Guzzi LM2 (ancient) or the Venerable Triumph is enough to invoke a reaction in many moden bike riders who seem to see me as a bit of a target that needs educating on the advantages that several thousand dollars worth of debt can produce... Meh! I try and park close to them when we arrive 'cos it annoys the bejesus out of them when no one wants to talk about their new bike but 100's, well - 10's, well there was this guy once OK that takes pictures of the classics....

Taking Vicki over the hill on a modern (demo) sports bike was a bigger PIA and everyone felt the need to show me (at very close quarters) how it should be done.... (double sigh)

The most dangerous thing on a bike is the ego riding it, it can get bruised very easlily and then its not happy until its bruised something back x2 or died trying. The best thing anyone can do it get a little bike (I mean really little and preferably old and ugly) and ride it for a month, it calms you down and makes that dangerous old ego take a hike....

Lets face it, we are all kiwi males and we have a shocking one upsmanship record on the road...


Meh, life is too short to worry about such trivialities....they (apparently) don't like you passing them and then overtake you?
Who cares.

Bet you don't feel that way when I overtake your patrol car on me moped ya big lug! :2thumbsup

More likely his boyfriend's getting shagged...

Near Bradford, why?

You must be the brains of the operation?!

How many people, this side of the world, would know that's a yorkshire rose? Maybe its because i'm from South Yorkshire?! Sheffield in fact.


Have you set up a corner shop yet?

The Puhoi has never been anything but a welcoming place so I can't start there


Me neither. I have found that the attitude you project gets reflected right back at you though so maybe the OP is getting his own dickheadedness thrown back at him?? Can't say, I wasn't there.......:cool:

[awayatc]

The world is quite often just a mirror.........

[pritch]

There are no Triumphs in Superbikes cos they are crap

That's funny... Could have sworn I saw Gary McCoy on the podium at the final round. Might've been a drug flash back or something though?

The only thing I've got against Harleys is that I hate getting stuck behind them.
There may be some riders can punt them along in a meaningful way but these riders are so few as to appear imaginary.

To the OP, may I suggest the early aquisition of a radar detector?

[fliplid]

Might've been a drug flash back or something though? You sharing? :cool:

Mind you, what good is a radar detector, especially if your seen doing stoopidly excessive speeds? I mean, apart from the actual calibration bit?

[FROSTY]

Im hearing ya re stuck behind them -it really hurts my ears
I must say Ive noticed some guys that have there bikes set up more tourer style so they can get agrressive with their riding. Ive seen some fairly spirited riding from harley riders

[pritch]

Mind you, what good is a radar detector, especially if your seen doing stoopidly excessive speeds? I mean, apart from the actual calibration bit?

I don't understand the question.

I'm not going to suggest anyone do "stoopidly excessive" speeds. The whole point of having the detector is to prevent you being seen doing them should you momentarily lapse into some anti-social, death wish, mental aberration such as that apparently suffered by the OP. :whistle:

[fliplid]

Just keep the right wrist under control, and brain engaged?

? - Didn't say there was. I was referring to the 'Triumphs are crap' bit.

Obviously why they sell more than Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda here, hey. :-)

[scumdog]

Somewhere on KB there is probably a similar thread about sprotsbike riders having an ego and attitude and who when passed by a Harley rider flip the bird and feel obliged to overtake the Harley etc etc.

But who really cares?:zzzz:

[CookMySock]

He passes by me in the slow lane gesturing wildly with his middle finger with his buddies in convoy. So I flip him the middle finger back and they all go off with their hand gestures.Don't worry about it. If you stopped somewhere later on and ended up talking to them some way or other, you might find they took the whole thing as a bit of a joke. Flippin' the bird doesn't mean "we want to kill you", rather some informal mock disapproval. Swinging the chain from the ammo box means "we want to kill you." :whistle:

Also be aware, while the pack of harleys is sometimes not particularly quick on the open road, they do not delay through heavy traffic.

It's when a pack of 50 of them leave their opposing lane and swerve at your group of learner riders - then you have grounds for complaint. :oi-grr:

Steve

[Big Dave]

But who really cares?:zzzz:

The last rude arse I encountered riding on the road was a Hog patch wearer on a V-rod.

The three biggest knob jockeys before him were on sprotsbikes.

But then some of the most solid dudes I know ride Harleys or Triumphs or Sportsbikes and are in Hog or Rat or some other group.

As I always say - hate the player - not the game.

Mark
Have you not alienated yourself from enough people at work, you need to work on one of the few that has stuck up for you most of the time so far? Or is it that you just can’t stop thinking of me on your holiday. Yes I am new to riding, and still have a lot to learn, but no I am not gay (not sure what fantasies you have been having, but please leave me out of them).

Sorry but I have more important things to do with my time off, than reply to your off topic ranting, so you will be on my ignore list from now on.

Sorry to everyone else for my off topic ranting.

[Big Dave]

Sorry to everyone else for my off topic ranting.

Nice bike there Peggy.

You shouldn't take trolls seriously.

[MadDuck]

Just passing a harley is offensive - did you not know this????

Especially on a Honda :oi-grr:

[Dean]

About Harley riders in general, I think their time was back in the ol'e days, you know when 'the wild ones' came out. And all the jocks with the slick hair back like grease or the Fonz in the school car park on the panhead Harley with the Dolly Partons in their groups gossiping with the school books held tightly against their chest and the sweaters over. The "rebel to society, I'm doing your mother" thing going on.

Being a youth I think Harley's could be back in, if media made some movies on them or having celebrities sport them. I asked guys in college ages ago that if they could buy a motorcycle what one would they ride. They all said a Harley "with the big handlebars loud exhaust" and cruise around NZ mostly because they say "they dont want to die" with sport bikes. But still I was surprised there's a lot of new recruits for you Big Dave, sadly as life goes by I doubt they would get a motorcycle.

[Big Dave]

Fact is too Deano - a lot of people ride Harleys simply because they are nice road bikes.

[smoky]

Life gets complicated when I ride a Harley this week and a Honda next though.

So you're a Cross-bikeresser

Wot 'e sed.

It sits for some time (winter) without getting used much but when it does it covers a fair bit of ground without sucking too much fuel or carving out tyre too quickly and doesn't leave me knackered at the end of the day, it also corners and stops in a most satisfactory manner for my (nana) style of riding.

It is also 'traditional' in styling which is what I want (and not covered in bling) and most of the 'bits' one needs to get at are fairly easy to get at.

Not saying it's THE best bike - but it is for MY needs/expectations.

[Headbanger]

About Harley riders in general, I think ....

LMFAO, You base your views on 60 year old movies and the kids at your school..........:banana::banana::banana:


That's some quality work right there.

[Big Dave]

So you're a Cross-bikeresser

lols - Like I'm Dick Emery.

[smoky]

Not about just HD riders - but gang members

A mate and I a year ago went from Hamilton to the South Island, left hamilton about 7pm, quick stop in Levin for diner then down to the ferry terminal in Wellywind, got there about 11:30

A bunch of hard core bikers turn up with outcasts written all over their backs on big iron noise. Got chatting and turns out they left Hamilton that evening as well - at 5pm, one stop for diner and were only just rockin up at 12. They were knackered from having their arms out holding onto those stupid hangers, faces windburned from the open face helmets

I guess that's the price you pay for an Image

Like wise we knew a guy who toured the North Island on his R1, use to take him a while to bend his knees straight again and stand up. But he looked good on his sprot bike

Everybody laughs at my bike, be they on a harley, jap, euro or whatever. Who cares?


Next time a finger is flicked at you just wave back and wind the throttle up. You've got a reasonable defence for speeding if a pack of harley riders are chasing yer.

[Maha]

Yeah I know. I apologise in advance. I do know a couple of Harley guys and they're cool. I'm prolly just venting a little bit. But there definitely is an attitude out there, and sometimes (eg up at Puhoi) it can get a bit uncomfortable.

Some off the Harleys that arrive at Puhoi are on the obnoxious side of annoying when it comes to nosie, a part of the Harley ownership manual is 'fuck im cool as bro' but on the whole, they dont bother me. I get a laugh when they leave, the storm off at a great rate then you hear them hit 3rd and slow. There is a bit of 'showmanship' involved im sure.

I know one Harley owner/rider that does not belong to the certain group of which you speak.

But fuck! have seen some of those posing sport bike wankers, the bastards think they are so clever, I would give them a wide birth :girlfight:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Have you set up a corner shop yet?

eee, bye gum lad!- If thy does owt for nowwt- then then thee should do it for thee sen!

[PrincessBandit]

I don't see what the issue is really. If I'm coming up the motorway and happen to see a group of Harleys ahead I don't treat them any differently than any other bike I might pass.

If I were to see skull bandanas over their faces way below their fully upstretched arms, and scary looking patches on the backs of their amusing leather "jackets" I would simply pass them without giving any impression of having seen them. The reason for this is I have learnt that eye contact is usually best avoided with such people, regardless of mode of travel.

If it came to them "catching up" in heavy traffic and getting aggro I'd probably open my visor so they could see I'm just a girlie - not worth getting worked up over. (Then ensure I part company with them asap even if it meant not going quite where I was headed!!!)

[Dean]

LMFAO, You base your views on 60 year old movies and the kids at your school..........:banana::banana::banana:


That's some quality work right there.

Not kids, yr12's, out of sport bikes and naked tourer's they all choose Harleys an these guys have a big reputation on the coast. Sure Harleys may be good road bikes but I think by majority there is that "persona" about em that draws its attention.

Hell we even conspired to make a gang or group to go for rides during class like just walk out and ride, so we asked the toughest baddest guy in the college and waddya know he wants a Harley. It never worked though, they cant get motorcycle licences because they have crim records racing cars an other stuff:whistle:.:oi-grr::weep: It would of been so hard out we would of made a true 'fight club'.:weep:

Just to balance the equation a little, there is a dude that I often see when riding home from work. He rides a Harley. Complete with high bars and open face helmet.
Every time he sees me on my puttery SV, he gives me the head nod and a big grin. Which I duly acknowledge in kind.
Not everyone is tarred with the same brush.

[centaurus]

Even though I ride a sports bike, I can sey I understand the charm of a cruiser/chopper. I even owned one years ago as a teenager. I have nothing against harley riders or cruiser riders as a whole. I know there are quite a few good people that ride cruisers.

However, statistically speaking the majority of cruiser riders are assholes. For example, as a beginner, riding my 250 with the L plate visible, with a couple of exceptions, all the bikes overtaking me dangerously and in corners have been cruisers. I've had big sports bikes waiting patiently behind me until the road was straight/wide enough to pass me safely, but I don't think I have seen any cruiser to wait until it was safe to pass me.

What I am trying to say is that riding a cruiser doesn't make you an asshole, and I am willing to stick to the "innocent until provel guilty" method, but on the other hand, everytime I see on the road a cruiser or a group of them, I keep in mind that there is a very high chance they are assholes and take all necessary precautions. That saved my skin a few times, including the time when the guy on a hog decided to suddenly start swerving left and right on the lane just as I was passing him, to force me back or on the oncoming traffic. Luckly for me it didn't took me by surprise because I was watching him closely so I just opened full throttle and bolted past him before he reached me.

[Deano]

Fact is too Deano - a lot of people ride Harleys simply because they are nice road bikes.

[nighthawk]

Some off the Harleys that arrive at Puhoi are on the obnoxious side of annoying when it comes to nosie, a part of the Harley ownership manual is 'fuck im cool as bro' but on the whole, they dont bother me. I get a laugh when they leave, the storm off at a great rate then you hear them hit 3rd and slow. There is a bit of 'showmanship' involved im sure.

I know one Harley owner/rider that does not belong to the certain group of which you speak.

But fuck! have seen some of those posing sport bike wankers, the bastards think they are so clever, I would give them a wide birth :girlfight:


I know very well two regullar attendee's at the Puhoi Pub, they ride Harleys,wear leather,black openface helmets and skull face masks,and ride offensivly loud bikes.
Both have owned a number of bikes, both british and japanese but as they got older they found all their friends who rode had progressed to Harleys.
When I asked why they followd suit they both responded it suited their riding style and little else.
They are my younger brothers (and yes there is the general Harley/Jappa banter between us)they ride as their way of venting relaxing etc,the 52 year old is a manager for a multi national company and the 48 year old has his own IT consultancy business.

Funnily enough, I got carved up on a blind corner a couple of days ago, by some complete dickhead on a Honda.

Some would. Though Yorkshire stole the emblem late in the day, it was originally the badge of the Duke of York. And later the 51st Foot, of Minden fame.

But it shed enough blood to dye it redder than the badge of Lancaster




And here I prophesy: this brawl to-day,
Grown to this faction in the Temple-garden,
Shall send between the red rose and the white
A thousand souls to death and deadly night

</pre>Personally , of course, I harbour a hope that the gentleman used it as a sign that he is one of Us, running early for the 10th of June, White Rose Day . And, if not one of Us, you will not understand that, never mind.

Now, if you had said that not many know what a Tudor Rose is, you might be on safer ground

[scumdog]

Yep, seen Harley riders like that. Ape hangers, stupidly loud exhausts, absolute disregard for saftey, tailgating, and generally not riding to the conditions. They do it all. And they probably think they're hot shit.

Yeah, sock it to 'em, they seem to have the monopoly on that kind of riding, -bastards!:mad:.

ha ha ha ha - good I ain't got one then............... :rofl:

[Ixion]

Ah, I recognise that sort of handling. Gives one more options it does, having the front of the bike going in the same direction as the rear of the bike is for wimps. And the weaving isn't weaving, it's just the result of the front and rear arguing whilst the rider is trying to steer a straight line.

Much simpler cornering technique - just keep steering straight ahead, and when one or other wheel has frame-flexed so as to point round the corner, follow it.

[Grahameeboy]

Yeah I know. I apologise in advance. I do know a couple of Harley guys and they're cool. I'm prolly just venting a little bit. But there definitely is an attitude out there, and sometimes (eg up at Puhoi) it can get a bit uncomfortable.

I actually find Puhoi comfortable........and not at all intimidating....

And that is just another reason we like to pass them - so we go round the corner the right way............ not with our arse's hanging out half way around :laugh:

[Ixion]

I actually find Puhoi comfortable........and not at all intimidating....

+1. I've been there on all sorts of bikes. Never had an uncomfortable moment. All manner and conditions of men and so on.

Though Puhoi has gone off somewhat since they opened that tunnel. Not so many bikers there nowadays and the place is being overrun with Mummy and Daddy types and metrosexuals. I think it NEEDS some more intimidating Harley types, to reclaim it.

[Ixion]

And that is just another reason we like to pass them - so we go round the corner the right way............ not with our arse's hanging out half way around :laugh:

Ah, but I was not referring to Harleys. I have no idea how Harleys handle, really, because I have never ridden one more than a few hundred metres. Just far enough to discover that my short legs could not reach the forward controls to change out of first gear. oh well, back to the shop. Sort of gave up after that.

Oh well, I was :done:

I've ridden with a few in my time, and wow! they break about a km prior to a corner, take forever to get up speed, and wallow around corners, but hey, I did find some whose bikes can actually corner, ride nicely around corners, and can really ride like me (far and few between though) So, I guess if you wanna Harley, you gotta be in cruise mode pretty much all the time :whistle:

You've got a reasonable defence for speeding if a pack of harley riders are chasing yer.

I'd be worried that If I bought a Harley, f'rinstance an XR1200, that I'd tip it over in a corner only to have everything ground hard an have me sliding up the road on my arse.

Your post simply served to confirm it...:whistle:
Hey, if you got cut off by some guy on a Honda and you thought he was being a dick, well that's fine. No one likes being cut off while minding their own business. What I'm saying is that I was not looking to piss these guys off - I was actually trying hard to get past them without being noticed. I had a feeling that they might not like me going past but my only other option was to stay behind them or breeze past at 130 or 140, which with the amount of cops on the road on Sunday, plus my ticket from the week before wasn't really an option at all. I also noticed that cars were cruising past them and not encountering any static from them. So when, a few km's later they catch up and start waving a middle finger (actually it was the whole arm thing going up and down) in an obvious display of anger and indignation then yes, I do get a little pissed off about it. How would YOU react in a similar situation??
Before you say "I would just ignore them" let me tell you it's pretty hard to "ignore" it when you're being monstered by 3 noisy bikes with bad attitudes whilst trying to mind your own business and just get home. Yes I know that winding it up to 160 was probably on the dangerous side, but at the time I was not really thinking about the road code - more like trying to get the fuck away from 3 assholes with an inferiority complex.

[Virago]

...3 assholes with an inferiority complex.

Harley riders do not hold the patent on stupidity. I have observed many kunts on Kawasakis, yokels on Yamahas, shitheads on Suzukis, homos on Hondas and arseholes on Aprilias over the years.

Unlike some of the latter categories or riders listed, Harley riders seem reasonably proficient at reserving their prejudices to something more restrained than ignorant projectile vomiting of tired cliches and stereotypes.

So where did I call ALL of them dickheads? The thread title "Harley Dickheads"
was in reference to the fact that 3 dickheads riding Harleys acted in a decidedly dick headed fashion because I committed the outrageous crime of passing them.

But I think that clip from South Park does sum it up nicely...

The three biggest knob jockeys before him were on sprotsbikes.

But then some of the most solid dudes I know ride Harleys or Triumphs or Sportsbikes and are in Hog or Rat or some other group.

As I always say - hate the player - not the game.

last issue i had in a similar vein was years ago by a cockhead on a meriden triumph who took exception to me overtaking his girlfriend on her GN 250.

I guess he would have liked to chase me for a longer distance,but i think the oil leaks were beginning to catch up with him.:weep:

After 38 0dd years riding ive as Hitcher said seen dickheads doing dickhead things on all brands of bikes,shit over the years ive done some pretty stupid shit myself:whistle:as we all have im sure.There has to be a winner though and that was only a few weeks back when i bothered to go on my first (and last) poker run,absolute fucking madness,hard to seperate the riders of Jap cruisers from the riders of American ones to be honest.Whilst it was mostly amusing i do remember thinking jesus no wonder theres car drivers around that hate motorcyclists.Anyways to sum up im sick of this Harley thing its grown boring,lets broaden our prejudice and include anything with comfortable seating and worse still handlbars you dont have to lean over to hold.;)

bling to this man:2thumbsup

[crazyhorse]

Which nicely sums up why I don't like following them.

I'd be worried that If I bought a Harley, f'rinstance an XR1200, that I'd tip it over in a corner only to have everything ground hard an have me sliding up the road on my arse.

Looking at my chicken strips though, that might not be too much of a problem... :whistle:

Chicken strips? What are those? My tyres don't seem to have them, half the rims are missing too............. :whistle: Appear to have heaps in the middle of the tyres though LOL:2thumbsup

[300weatherby]

Yeah I hear yah!, the harley boat anchor riders down in the south real similar,no fingers on their gloves from draggin their knuckles on the ground-

The only people stupid enough to wear fingerless gloves and nazi helmets ect,are those who haven't been "down the road"

Unforunate that a bike already "handling challenged" gets challenged even further by a rider who needs his feet up like a lazy boy and ape hangers,an then they think they are fast skilled riders,but develop an attitude when you blast past them after you get sick of them blocking the road just like the camper van they really are!!!

The harley brigade should show us how great they and their mighty massey davidsons are by showing up beside us on the grid- the bullshit stops when the flag drops!

They wanna blow off about "Jap crap",yeah well we can give them shit about their ugly 1945 technology tracktors too:girlfight:

Have you not alienated yourself from enough people at work, you need to work on one of the few that has stuck up for you most of the time so far? Or is it that you just can’t stop thinking of me on your holiday. Yes I am new to riding, and still have a lot to learn, but no I am not gay (not sure what fantasies you have been having, but please leave me out of them).

Sorry but I have more important things to do with my time off, than reply to your off topic ranting, so you will be on my ignore list from now on.

Sorry to everyone else for my off topic ranting.Want me ta bash him 4 ya pretty lady ? I own a trumpy so there's an excuse !

Haha ok so that wont happen but i could look at him menacingly for ya !


I had a feeling that they might not like me going past but my only other option was to stay behind them or breeze past at 130 or 140, which with the amount of cops on the road on Sunday, plus my ticket from the week before wasn't really an option at all.. Jesus H Christ, you had a feeling ? Was it all warm and squishy ?

So ya go past at pathetic 5 or 10k faster, looking in the opposite direction to them and wonder why ya get a bird flipped at ya !
Homo on a honda trailing more brown stuff than a stock truck !


So after ya got the bird ya flew past at 160k ? Not really an option ?


I also noticed that cars were cruising past them and not encountering any static from them. So when, a few km's later they catch up and start waving a middle finger (actually it was the whole arm thing going up and down) in an obvious display of anger and indignation then yes, I do get a little pissed off about it. How would YOU react in a similar situation??
Before you say "I would just ignore them" let me tell you it's pretty hard to "ignore" it when you're being monstered by 3 noisy bikes with bad attitudes whilst trying to mind your own business and just get home. Yes I know that winding it up to 160 was probably on the dangerous side, but at the time I was not really thinking about the road code - more like trying to get the fuck away from 3 assholes with an inferiority complex.

This whole post stinks !
You my friend have the inferiority complex, you were probably monstered by a lawyer, an accountant and his son !

Doing 160 past someone with attitude and pulling away would not have saved you, you were on a fucking highway dickhead and you slow for a traffic buildup, someone with attitude would have reeled you in and spat at you when they pulled up beside you !

These guys obviously saw you for who you are and prolly reacted accordingly because you were too scared to look at them and see them wave !


But but but...new KB posters flying on the site and posting their disgust at Harley riders is the bestest entertainment you can get on here.......:2thumbsup
I aint stopped on kb long enough to read a whole thread like this for ages !
I'm back !!!!!!


Funny thing happened the other day, rocked up to a set of lights (filtered in and parked next to an advent bike rider) Well, i had done exactly the same thing to the exact same rider a few days earlier on my speed triple and it was smile and nod, hows ya day, brilliant weather, whoop were off !
This time i pulled up, same leathers helmet etc but with a twist, i was on a very loud and obnoxious looking harley (new toy) sat there looking at this guy for a few seconds while he stared straight ahead, then leaned over (was only a foot away from him) and said mornin !
Didn't flinch at all, looked straight ahead and squeeked out a hello !
Prolly twigged who i was when i took off and all he saw were the same dreds he'd seen dissapear the week before !!
But this time i was a dirty filthy harley rider who might smash him with a chain if he looked at me !
Fuckin pathetic !

[MadDuck]

I see you like using exclamation marks. Keep it up, it makes your comments so much more effective.

[sinfull]

YOU squeeked?Only when i brake. And the front caliper rattles like ya wouldnt believe, there aint no riding around town neither, that EV7 has it goin Po tae tae po toe tae tae toe instead of the usual po tae toe po tae toe po tae toe in any gear.
Aww i found muscles i'd forgotten i had on the ride into a headwind to wangas the other day too !

Best part is i'm only doing 120 and loving every god damn kilometer
The rides are longer (due to the lower speeds) and i don't know why i waited till now to get one.

Don't expect me to wave either you sportbike riding twats grrrrrrrr



Cause the minute i take my hand off the bars you can garantee i'll hit a pothole and the bike will react viciously lol


Your on to it 98 lol, but how do you know i didn't have these manufactured, instead of letting the grease and dirt do it the hard way ?

Is that better fartpants ? Ironic aint it, that you should call yourself that ?
So you are the punctuation genius of KB now ? I like exclamation marks, it makes things real, dickhead !

Some would. Though Yorkshire stole the emblem late in the day, it was originally the badge of the Duke of York. And later the 51st Foot, of Minden fame.

But it shed enough blood to dye it redder than the badge of Lancaster


Personally , of course, I harbour a hope that the gentleman used it as a sign that he is one of Us, running early for the 10th of June, White Rose Day . And, if not one of Us, you will not understand that, never mind.

Now, if you had said that not many know what a Tudor Rose is, you might be on safer ground


Being schooled there we all learned about the war of the roses, the meanings of the colour, shape and symbolisms. And that the tudor rose symbolises the coming together of the two roses after Henry Tudor and Henry III Scrapped it out.


Still Ixion, you're only one out of a whole fourm of people who claim to know..... so i was right and your wrong..! ps are you a history freak or u from the Uk?

Kinda related Harley etc etc, prob not but.....reading Sonny Bargar's 'autobio', he is prob the most well known Hells Angel ever.
Interestingly he says near the start that if he had his way he'd have a Honda ST1100? or a BMW and personally does'nt like Harleys for various reasons but because he's HA thats what they ride so he has one, and many he rides with now share the same opinion. But of course early days it was all about riding Yank in the HA USA.

Kinda hard to imagine HAs on Jappas.

A mate learnt the hard way that gang mc's dont accept jappas, he was hanging out with the Highway 61 and he had a suzuki boulevard, one day he came out of the pub and found the bike kicked in with a note lying on it "get a real bike". He never complained, went out and bought a Harley 883 sportster then re-bored it to 1200cc.

Someone should put up a thread on what bike's Kber's own. With the options of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, American, Taiwanese, British, other. Would be interesting to see results.

Whatever you guys say it was a very nice thing and im sure it would of cost a whoppa amount oh and I got to vs some at pool but they bet me everytime.

If I was 12 years old I'd be impressed too!:shifty:

:shit: This thread still going??? With all the twaddle being typed, it's definitely heading towards PD...

Are there really fuckwits out there who think it matters what kind of bike you ride? I make jokes about Jappa Slappers and American ship anchors (Harleys) all the time but I never thought anyone took it seriously. We need to take a step back and get aligned with the rest of the world. Find out someone's religious beliefs and hate them for that instead - this works especially well if your brand of religion states "Don't kill". This means you are allowed to murder anyone whose religious beliefs are at odds with yours.

The above comment is irony - I am attempting to point out how pointless it is to hate someone based on their choice of football team, religion, car or bike....this last comment was brought to you by "asistance for the hard of thinking"

Yesterday I rode from Tauranga to Napier. Needed to be home at 10am as my ex was bringing my boys home. I had got a later than planned start from Tauranga at approx just after 7am, so I did not have much time.

In Rotorua I filled up and had a drink and was to leave the BP station when a chap on a late model HD Custom comes up to me (I am on my old K100) and asks where I am going. I tell him HB. He says "So am I!" and I can hear the enthusiasm as he was thinking "cool, someone to ride with". I told him I needed to be home by 10am (It was now close to 8am), so he said: "OK safe trip, you be much faster than me anyhow".

Wish I had been able to ride with him. And if you read this, hope the trip was a plesant one. I was home in Te Awanga at 10.02am.

To generalise based on bike type and make is a scary way to look at life. Next thing you will tell us that people already do this based on skin colour... Nah, nobody would do that. Would they???

1) A large percentage (but of course not all) of Harley riders seem to be total morons.
Never mind Harleys riders. I find a large percentage of motorcycle riders are morons.
This is amplified by the cock suckers who feel they need to wail life's problems on the internet.
And here I was thinking that all people over 40 must be all grown up.
In true "WAAAAAAAAA - ITS NOT FAIR" KB lifestyle. Sit tight, the wet nurse will be around soon to untwist those panties of yours.

Well I went out for a ride in the weekend and a bunch of riders on high performance sports bikes passed me. They were wearing leathers with patches on the back, I think one said "Spool MCC". They didn't wave and they were riding very fast. They passed me in a very unfriendly manner and I was very intimidated. They didn't even wave and it actually spoilt my whole ride and I was very unhappy.

I called my mother, she said I should grow a pear, so I went shopping and brought myself a tree.

All sports bike riders must be stupid morons anyway they only wear the racing suits so that they can go to science fiction conventions as power rangers. Do they know how stupid they look from behind riding along with their brightly colored asses stuck in the air, I think a couple of them were on Honda's.

Anyway I am going into the garden to see if my tree has grown me a pear.

[EgliHonda]

I've ridden with a few in my time, and wow! they break about a km prior to a corner

I hate it when things break... Wonder how they know there's a corner coming up though?

[EgliHonda]

one day he came out of the pub and found the bike kicked in with a note lying on it "get a real bike". He never complained, went out and bought a Harley 883 sportster

So a girl's bike is a real bike...?

[EgliHonda]

On the generalisations, could say the same about most groups...
Who hasn't laughed at the following?

The Harley brigade with their tassles and leather, doing burnouts on the grass at rallies...
The accountant 'bad boys' in shiny, squeaky leather and with too much chrome...
The sports bikers in the one-piece coloured suits at the pub...
The beemer riders, pretending they are not boring bastards...
The classic crowd smoking pipes and leaving puddles if they stop for more than a second...
The quadrophenia fanboys on automatic Vespas...
the euro brigade, thinking they are a bit different to the rest of the plebs...
etc etc...

viva variety I say, and long live the kiwi tradition of severely taking the piss out of your mates...
:clap:

[crazyhorse]

I meant brake - not the break. oh well, if they broke, then no way would they make the corner :rofl:

[Mudfart]

I rode to hamiltron today. I wudda passed 100 bikes. 50 of them were jappas. 40 of them gestured. Not a single harley or cruiser style euro gestured. They must be too good for me.
They are definately too smelly.

[specter]

just adding my 2 cents.....
i respect every rider on the road no matter what they ride...
the moment someone believes theyr better than everyone else theyr instantly demoted to cage status :bleh:

A clear thinker; what are you doing on kb?

[sammcj]

They're not all bad, I know two decent guys that ride the tanks.
BUT
Why is it that you're riding up the road and almost every other biker gives you a wave, nod etc EXCEPT harley riders. (Until recently I always gave the nod to H-riders.)

-Are they too stuck up to talk to people that don't ride the same automobile as them?
-Or are they too white trash to understand the 'hello' gesture?

If you're one of the two guys I know, this doesn't apply to you!

[Virago]

...(Until recently I always gave the nod to H-riders.)...

So you've stopped acknowledging others on the basis of what they ride? Congratulations - you are now the problem...

I ride a cruiser (non-Harley) - I get more acknowledgement from Harley riders that the sprotsbikers.

Everyone thinks the other side is at fault. At least you've confirmed your own silly bias...:yes:

[sammcj]

Part of what problem? The problem other riders seem to have with the average harley rider? I don't see how I could be part of that problem as I don't ride a harley nor am I rude to people that ride harleys.

Why should I bother giving them a wave when NONE of them do anything other than snigger at you and look the other way.

I couldn't care less what people ride; their choice is their own - I do care about attitude and respect for others.

If 99 out of 100 people in a certain group act in a way that you and your peers do not like and / or is disrespectful you don't have to continue trying to be friendly with them - doesn't mean you should slag them off but it certainly doesn't mean you should continue to make an effort.
It's like banging your head against a brick wall.

Again, I'm not saying they're all bad - I know a few good guys that ride them, I just think that the harley 'culture' is one that often gives bikers a bad name. (Can I hear that South Park episode in the background?)
I'm not getting in a flame war over this.

A shame that you don't accept that the perception is the same from "the other side"...;)

[MadDuck]

Yeah well most Harley riders are just average. This is because you believe it. You no doubt still put your stocking out for Santa. :bleh:

[Molly]

Another day. Another BS Harley thread. I've a Guzzi, a Harley, and an old Triumph. I therefore think you're all c***s. Nothing to do with the bikes. I just think you're all c***s...

;-)

[MadDuck]

I just think you're all c***s...;-)

What an ass :laugh:

[Dodgey Dave]

The reason Harley Wankers don't wave is they're too scared to take a hand off the bars is case the big pig of a bike goes into an almighty tank slapper!!! plus they have lost all feeling in their hands due to the excessive vibration created by the big over priced under powered compressor and cannot release their grip on the bars to wave.
But that just my opinion.

[Big Dave]

Why should they wave at youse ? - have you read the crap that comes out of your keyboards?

:-)

I have british american and jap bikes ! Not only do i nod at most bikes coming my way, but i also smile alot to myself !

Ah, this man has learned the secret......:yes::niceone:

[metalhead]

i ride a jap, ive ridden harleys, ive grown up around harleys and i am soon getting one, i wave or nod at anyone i see on a bike or scooter, i think that the biggest problem here is that people dont like things that are different. i like both sports bikes and harleys so i guess im a tad odd but hey. people just need to lighten up is all and stop taking themselves so seriously

[centaurus]

I think I have figured out the secret. Based on what I have seen in this thread, there is a pattern emerging:

People who own/ride harleys but also own/ride other bikes (jappas, brittish, etc...) are nice people, even when riding harleys. People who own only harleys are how the title of the thread says :Pokey: :dodge: :lol:

[sinfull]

No secret in the fact that when the student is ready the master will appear !

But just secretly, when doing 120 on the harley i wont lift a hand off the bar and at 140 my head IS tilted !
At 140 on the speed three i'm still tappin out the sounds i'm listening to, on the tank !~
It aint hard to gesture to someone comin the other way, "yo, come have a game of tick tack toe mofo"

The new wave !!!

[peasea]

Have a big wave you sportsbike mofo's. (Hone speak for 'fellow bikers')

[doc]

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:

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.

[Big Dave]

Settle down you reckon M? I thought it was moderately funny - smiley face and all.

You know - reason Harley guys don't wave is because people say cruel things about them on the internet?

Oh well - next time :-)
