Are the sports bike riders the New Bad Guys?

[DrunkenMistake]

What do you guys think, have the sport bike riders become more hated than the Harley rider in the general public's eyes?

The outlaw biker then,

Naaa ... Coloured-in nerds on Rice Rockets will never replace the 1%ers ...

[DrunkenMistake]

You could argue against that actually I cant remember when it was, but it was from a US survey asking motorcyclists if they obeyed the law, 99% of all motorcyclists asked said yes, leaving 1%.
Thus your 1% patches and gangs and what not.

So you could argue a bulk number of ricers and their riders are '1%ers'.
But I know what your saying,

I think its two different views, I think sportsbike riders are more classed as crazy and dangerous rather than intimidating

The origins of "1%er" is somewhat apocraphyl .. but generally attributed to the head of the American Motorcycle Association who, in response to what supposedly occured in Hollister in 1947 said something like "It's only 1% of motorcyclists who cause all the trouble ..." (aprocraphyl because he claims he never said it ...) so, of course, those who wanted to be Chico picked up "1%er" ...

A second version is that 99% of all motorcycle clubs belong to the AMA .. so the non-AMA clubs were the 1%ers ...

And "Outlaw" comes from the same source .. some clubs were affiliated to the AMA and could run race meetings ... other clubs were not affiliated and ran "outlaw" race meetings ... i.e. not recognised by the AMA ... If you raced "outlaw" you couldn't race AMA ... hence the term "Outlaw" - which has come to mean something else today ...

And sports bike riders crazy and dangerous? Get real .. try facing a 1%er hyped on alcohol, THC, Tuinal and Sequenol ... and pointing a loaded pistol at your head .. (wasn't a friend any longer after that ...) I can't see a sportbike rider pulling that sort of shit ...

Did you get in trouble for it?

[oldrider]

C'mon, the 1%'rs in this country are the "law abiding" .... :lol:

[racefactory]

Wrong.

Motards are the ultimate bad ass outlaws.

I've seen a few mean dudes on scooters:girlfight:

[Ferkletastic]

I think posers who think they're bad mother fuckers come in all flavours from super sports to cruisers.

Unfortunately the vehicle as dick extension attitude seems to be brand independent.

Although I think I'd have to agree that the supermoto guys are probably craziest riders :eek:

[Banditbandit]

Did you get in trouble for it?

Naaa .. but the next day the cops turned up with a search warrant for firearms ... and went straight to where he hid the pistol .. So .. four of us were in the room that day . it wasn't him or me who called the law .. so one of the other two narked ...

I lost three friends that day .. One for being a dick and two others "on suspiscion" ...

Funny you should ask this. I was having a chat to a good mate of mine Dubbs last night. He's from philadelphia, but has also lived in New York and a few other states as well. He was saying how over in the states, most of the guys that ride sports bikes are the type of arrogant arseholes who are looking for a fight every timethey leave home, so he was surprised to see a totally different attitude from all the sportsbike riders here in enzed.

as for this 1% thing, why are they called 1%ers?
I always assumed that it was because the meathead knuckledraggers that joined gands were retarded as their brain function was only 1% of that of a normal person?

C'mon Tim, do a little research - or stop trollin':shifty:

Ya MUST have heard of the "99% of motorcyclists are not trouble makers' sort of thing.??

Leaving (ta-dah!) 1% to be the law-breaking trouble-makers!

It came from the A.M.A. 'way back in the day...

Well ninjas (jap stealth warriors, not kwakas) are supposed to be invisible so ricers should fit the profile...

Oh, and I'm sure I look nothing like that caricature; it's not what I see in the mirror when I get up in the morning, thankfully.

having said that, "high pitched obnoxious exhaust", well..... enough said.

Less subtle would have worked better... and maybe some sterotypical discrimination added in for good measure ;)

..."so what were you doing with a gun, didn't you swap all that land for muskets?" would have found you a wider audience and taken this thread off course waaay sooner :D

Yeah .. that might have been funnier .. but you're assuming it was me holding the gun .... WRONG . it was me looking at the wrong end of it in the hands of a drugged out lunatic .. who also happened to be one of the palest Pākehā you could imagine (apart from an albino)

You didn't actually state that it was someone else holding the gun in your original post, although it was obvious that's what you meant.

Inferring you were the gun toting lunatic was the funny bit - at least I thought so.

These are "alternative" sports bikers rebelling against current style trends in an ironic way.

They will retaliate with scary words scummy!
