Anti Jap bike crap

[tribsanor]

If there was a Jappa only organised ride, what exactly would they do if the bad ass BEARS turned up?

probably tell their mum's !

[wbks]

Have you thought that they just don't like jap bikes and that it is not personal?

Might have some thing to do with the original old school bikers being returned service men.

I know that my dad also doesn't like BMW's.

How many 75'ish+ bears riders do you see?...

If there was a Jappa only organised ride, what exactly would they do if the bad ass BEARS turned up?

Probably forget to wait up for them around the twisties?

the bad ass BEARS

If I was writing a comedy piece - that's its name - right there.

Maybe with some punctuation.

They have races for old bikes. Should the owner of a new GSXR1000 be aggrieved that he is ineligable to enter the classic races?

On the same idea, Whats up with new(ish) Harleys in the Classic an Vintage section on trademe , Does them JUST being a HD make them colectable and special.....................

I think not

That wouldn't be very polite!

The last non-jappa ride I attended, we stopped and waited for the Suzuki GT550. Of course, the ZX14 rider had no trouble keeping up. I think the only thing on the day considered offensive, was a hi-visibility vest

Nah, just vintage.

I ride BEARS and I ride Japanese. I have even been on BEARS style runs with my Kwak. Maybe they knew my other bike was being repaired ? Who cares?

One thing I noticed was a remarkable similarity between the blowhards in each group. Those who dish the crap are usually new or returning riders, newish bike with matching leathers and a limited no. of miles under their belts.

Doesn't matter whether its a Hog and a dude with boutique accessories or a Gixxer rider with matching leathers the 'I'm better than you' attitude is alive and well.

Gixxer rider with matching leathers

lol, sometimes you are just unlucky enough to buy a bike that matches your leathers

Hell I mean I always see posters for bears poker runs have yet to see a poster for a jap poker run there probably are but in my travels never seen one or rocked up somewhere and said to a large group of jap bike owners "what going on here then ,oh we are on a poker run " and this is after 30 years of road bike riding,might happen one day as I still have a few years left on the road.

Didn't say jap poker run....I said poker run organised by a chap (or lady) who rides a Japanese bike. Local poker run welcome for all bikes. Mind you....organiser rides a husky so technically it's not ran by a jap bike owner.

That was just self preservation. You knew that if you didn't, he'd blast past you on a wave of two smokey howlyness , and then asphyxiate you with his smoke. They don't call two smokers WMDs (Weapons of Motorcycle Destruction) for nothing

I've been on poker runs on Jappas. And on BMWs. Not a problem.

Bugger. Is Italy no longer in Europe? That's what they get for being so close to the Large Hadron Collider. I wonder what universe they've been shunted into, it's going to make spare parts for Ducatis pretty hard.

I ride BEARS and I ride Japanese.

Well I've heard of BEAR cavalry, but japanese cavalry is a whole new idea to me
