View Full Version : harley dude rides like a tool

Just in case anyone believes that moronic riding is the exclusive preserve of the young and under-powered (scooters et al). Today while on my way through Newmarket at 9:30am I was raced by a dude on a harley 1200 sportster off two sets of lights, under taken twice, and then witnessed him undertake a car who had no idea he was there and was pulling into his lane. He has no idea how close he was to getting clipped by that car, and the mess he would have suffered, in his deck shoes, jeans, open casual leather jacket and a open face helmet.
To add to my surprise this guy looked about 60, so there goes the "with age comes wisdom" thing!
So I don't want to make any comment on ideal riding attire, wear whatever you want. Hey I don't really care how you ride either for that matter. As for your age, whatever we're all kids right.
BUT IF YOUR GOING TO RIDE LIKE A COMPLETE F**KING TOOL THEN DO IT SOME PLACE THATS NOT NEAR ME, IF YOU HAD BEEN HIT THE CHANCES ARE I'D HAVE COPPED SOME OF THE FALL OUT AS I WAS TO CLOSE TO ESCAPE UNSCATHED. PILLOCK.
its bad enough we have to have eyes in the back of your head looking for the idiotic antics of the average car driver, now we have look out for errant harley riders as well. Great.

And who's fault is that? Did he have some sort of tractorbeam keeping you within a certain range?

No,but he was riding a GSXR600 K4,possibly the best bike ever made y'know...and a set of race leathers colour coded to match the bike - no way was any bloody Harley gunna get the jump on him!

You wanna see the things dad and his mates do when out riding. They're all
over 60. Non of them ride Harleys though. May I suggest you GET OVER IT ol bean. Oh and some of us look 60 but are in fact a lot younger. I do hope you feel better now you've got that of your chest. :violin:

I understand that completely, some of us are late developers.
Personally I'm still waiting for the wisdom thing to kick in...
Was thinking yesterday as I wound through the Ureti Gorge scrubbing in a new tyre that Einstein said that if you could go fast enough you would go back in time.
The age of the average motorcyclist in the UK is dropping steadily in comparison to the average age of the general poulation so this really works.

Right, bit more of an extreme reaction then i might have expected, let me answer a couple of points and clarify where i'm coming from here.
"grow up and let idiots like that get ahead of you
the fact that he under took you twice indicates you were racing him which makes you just as stupid as he is"
I was not racing him whatsoever, he kept getting caught behind traffic and then undertaking me on a single lane - come on, I was on my home from work so was in no form for any BS. If this had been a spotty git on a scotter, you would all be unitied in your critism, but it wasn't and that folks was my point, but instead the general reaction was that i'm the dick for even posting this in the first place.
So thanks to those people who managed to see my point, to the rest of you - look up hypocrisy.

For the record I don't have leathers, matching or otherwise and your stereo-typing is a credit to you. I couldn't give a shit about anyone "getting the jump" on me, i kept catching up with him at the lights is all.

Again I'm not being ageist, just presenting the facts as they occoured, I'm making no judgements here. As for getting things off my chest, isn't that one of the reasons this site exists. Your assumption that I'm crying foul is misdirected, but thanks for the thought - I feel much better.
dawnrazor
16th January 2006, 10:01
Pot....Kettle...Black....
Right - I'm a hypocrite for having a rant about another bikers riding. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned he was on a harley and had a bus pass, your right that is irrelevant to my grumble, but the facts are the facts, as i've said before i had no intention of passing judgement. Unlike some of the folks here who would rather bash a fellow KB'er, over what was a fairly innocuous comment in the first place.
Maybe I should have chosen my words more carefully, 'cus it seems to me most people think I had a major problem with this guy. In fact the only problem I had was with him undertaking a car 4 feet in front of me through the start of a bus-stop with a bus in it, causing the the car to swerve and brake narrowly missing him and causing me to brake and steer around the car. So anyone who causes a reaction like that unnecessarily is a dick.
And for the last time a wasn't racing, I was doing the speed limit whilist being buzzed by Mr Harley anytime a caught him at the lights or happened to get in front of him through the natural flow of traffic.
This site is littered with threads about bikers getting killed, knocked off or otherwise getting messed up. Most of the time its not our fault, but there are plenty of instances of other road users being the cause of accidents involving bikers. So anyone who puts me at risk on the road deserves my scorn, that is my right after all, but when I highlight the cretinish riding of another biker, I'm the bad guy. Thanks for the support, next time I won't fucking bother.

I can only hope that I'm like that when I grow up..

I understand dood...nothing to do with the style of his bike or his age,twas his style of riding.
Don't get me wrong I do split lanes when in a city but I don't do it in a fashion that ups the chances of my death or others...IMHO.

Well lets see the first bike I bought in auckland was from "that" harley shop, wasn't a harley addmittedly but they do sell other brands of bikes there 7 or 8 at the last count, if they sold suzukis new, i would have gone back for a repeat sale.
Lou has given me sound advice and sorted me out with kit numerous times, and when i do get the cash together to buy my "matching 2 piece leathers" (that some other bright spark assumed i had already), I will be talking to lou about some sensible spidi items.
As for the assumption that Lou is only greasing me up, for a sale - I happen to be a close personal friend of his and his wifes, and would suggest he was only coming to my defence here to readdress an imbalance in the reaction my original post recieved.
In hind sight maybe more detail was needed in the original posting to remove some of the ambiguity, that caused everone to jump to assumptions, then again you can't make assumptions without making an ASS first.
I know people are entitled to their own views and have every right to agree and disagree with threads here, but in this instance I don't reckon I have said anthing that contriversal that i deserved all the bad 'rep' for, but thanks to everyone who came to my defence and the green 'rep' the two nearly cancel each other at this stage, so no harm done!

I give up - I take your point and understand it completely, but prehaps you should realise that I was put into a situation very quickly that I did manage to get out of, that prehaps a lesser rider may not have. I wasn't riding recklessly for the road conditions, but the unpredictable nature of this guy quickly changed a safe situation into a potential nasty one. Now as I attempted to say earlier, you can be the best rider in the world but all it takes is the random action of another road user like this and most experienced rider can get taken out. I don't know about you but I'm not invincable and I think its testament to me that I didn't have an off. But in that split moment in time that guy not only put himself in danger, but also me, the car driver and the bus he squeezed by as well. So for that reason and that reason ALONE he is a tool and I'm just calling it the way I saw it.
But whatever, I'm tired of this crap

But then you drag in your own predudices - he was riding a Harley,he was an older guy,somehow you managed to cast dispertions on scooters as well,I don't know how or why you dragged them into it.This is why I and everyone else has been giving you a hard time,poking fun at you - I know where the others stand on this,they know where I stand,so does Lou,he's got me sussed.To put it bluntly and in words you can understand - we don't like you critisizing other peoples choice of bike just on brand or style,and we don't like you implying that older people shouldn't be riding bikes...or what they wear,what music they listen to,that they haven't mowed their lawns,or that they are stupid for thinking McDonalds is better than BurgerKing.

I can see the humour in this thread. I'm laughing so hard i'll still be picking my ricies outta the keyboard tomorrow morning. Whats funny is how it took KB to show me how i'm just plain DUMB. Cos i don't get it.
I was raced by a dude on a harley 1200 sportster off two sets of lights, under taken twice, and then witnessed him undertake a car who had no idea he was there and was pulling into his lane.
English translation: A guy on a harley 1200 sportster did some dumb shit according to the poster.
HTF does that translate to "predudice against a harley"?
If the guy had been on a Gsxr600 it would have read "A guy on a suzuki gsxr600 did some dumb shit (accotrding to the poster)". What - is he then predudiced against his own bike?
To add to my surprise this guy looked about 60, so there goes the "with age comes wisdom" thing!
English translation: There is a general consensus that age does in fact bring certain kinds of wisdom - hence another saying "you get old riders and bold riders but not both". In this case it wasn't demonstrated.
HTF does that translate to "all you old c*&ts should be at home peeing your pants watching Coro St while i own the road?".
Reading the next sentence lent some clarity to the post i thought
So I don't want to make any comment on ideal riding attire, wear whatever you want. Hey I don't really care how you ride either for that matter. As for your age, whatever we're all kids right.
Okay. So in reality he does care how you ride - but why are we debating the predudices of this poster?
Hey why didn't the hero pull the guy over an give HIM an ear full rather than subjecting us to his abuse of somebody that wasn't here anyway.
Fuck yeah. Make the world a better place eh - endanger everybody to pull somebody over who won't wanna pull over - a few stern words and then probably handbags at 10 so the public can all see how it should be done - maybe carry a hammer as well?

But then you drag in your own predudices - he was riding a Harley,he was an older guy,somehow you managed to cast dispertions on scooters as well,I don't know how or why you dragged them into it.This is why I and everyone else has been giving you a hard time,poking fun at you - I know where the others stand on this,they know where I stand,so does Lou,he's got me sussed.To put it bluntly and in words you can understand - we don't like you critisizing other peoples choice of bike just on brand or style,and we don't like you implying that older people shouldn't be riding bikes...or what they wear,what music they listen to,that they haven't mowed their lawns,or that they are stupid for thinking McDonalds is better than BurgerKing.
Motu hows the view from the moral high ground - clean and pure?
Be careful not to leave a taint in the air when you come down okay.
Don't think I've ever been quoted dire straits before (correct spelling, not so dumb after all), I found it unique, a little disturbing and ultimately a touch depressing, but thanks for the music lesson, maybe I can quote you some inappropriate 70s musical reference later, and we can turn it into a game.
I have already admitted, earlier in this thread that I should have given the original posting more thought and chosen my syntax more carefully, but it was written in haste, right after the event and as thus in a certain degree of frustration and anger.
You probably wouldn't do something like that would you, being perfect and saintly and without fault. Probably prefer to have a good old think about things, ruminate on them before reacting
Well maybe thats what I should have done in hindsight, because a throw away posting which was meant to be farcical in nature has turned into exactly that.
I included all the facts and thought I had qualified them as just that, but I'm obviously a bigot under the magnifing glass and my prejudices where seen for what they apparently are, yet I fail to see anything overly inflammatory or hypocritical about my original posting, but you in your assumed lofty position have decreeded it so, :weep:
Your deduction that I am not so sharp, because I supposedly didn't realise I was being baiting by you is also misguided, I am well aware of your approach, and the attidudes you apply to other postings and threads here so I knew the level of creativity you where putting into your posts.
The issue is you where playing and I wasn't, not because I didn't precieve the game, but because I was trying to stop the slagging match before it started. But hey theres nothing like a good stir, right - what fun, take him down a peg or two, blow out of proportion precieved and assumed bigotry and prejudices, make an innocent albeit hastilyand poorly written posting a pariah and crucify me on top of the lot of it.
Thanks a bunch, this thread wasn't worth a handfull of replys in the first place, but you have successfully highlighted and transformed it into an exercise lesson into what is so wrong with this site.
Good job fella your a fucking star, shine on you crazy diamond!

I agree with Manuboys last post - some posts by others required 'quantum leaping to conclusions" imho.
Maybe they WERE trolls???
Hey, were ever did you get that idea??:spudflip:
