To all you rice burning sports bikes

[ching_ching]

Don't worry Jackrat. Apparently I've been told I look like a troll... tough break huh?

BB,A troll,and I only just found this out myself resently,Aparrantly I am one.
A troll is somebody that posts just to get a negitive responce and or create
a stir.

I wonder if they (trolls) have their own forum?
And what do they post about?
And are they all single posts with no replies?

I passed and overtook a 1340 HD on my mountain bike on Rimutaka Hill. Sure I can already hear you all saying I have 27 gears, but this was on a rully rully noisy mountain bike and the cops didn't catch me, even though I was over the decibal limit that the law requires! Wow.

I had a race with a Harley once. It was on the North M/Way, he stayed with me to 160km/h, then he just disappeared behind. I thought it was quite a close thing really.

The Fatboys got to be the first bike to be named after the kind of rider`s it attracts.So when do we see the Harley Gullible Rich Dickhead?

Just a point of interest,The Fat boy was in fact named after the first bomb the Yanks dropped on Japan.That's also were the original silver paint job with the seven yellow rings came from.HD did in fact addvertise that when the Fat boy first came out but then pulled the add when it was pointed out how un PC it was.

A troll is somebody that posts just to get a negitive responce and or create
a stir.Like I say, I fall pretty much into that catagory,As you probably noticed I also bite like a hungry fish.I like to think I give others something to laugh about.Well wouldn't life be boring other wise
Oh yeah and this guy Tribesman is a classic.

Thank you for the explaination - ok I admit it fits - so no offence taken

but why does this site have over 700 members and only about 15 posters - the same ones over and over again - surely you guys should be out riding.
Some of us have to work on computers and drop in and out of our mailboxes and have a check here -but others are permanently on line here.

Can't think of any other use for a hardley myself........

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Of course, having recently spent time browsing nuclearweapons.org, I have to split a hair and correct you... the first nuke they dropped (Hiroshima) was 'Little Boy', the second one (Nagasaki) was 'Fat Man'.

I do think that naming a motorcycle after those bombs displays a rather appalling lack of taste, though.

Maybe our Friendly Local Misogynistic Harley Riders enjoy meditating on the meaning of their Fat Boy's moniker as they get passed by Japanese bikes.

Jackrat and I saw some Harleys racing at the classic meet yesterday,they were doing real well,mixing it up at the sharp end of the field - I love to hear a Harley being pushed hard,but it's a rare thing.

I think the bike that impressed me most in the bike park was either an XLCR or an XR1000,done sort of halfway cafe/streettracker,a beautiful bike.

Although I'm guilty of it myself,it's a bit silly to compare yourself to a bike you meet along the road - you don't know who they are or why they are riding the way they are....I mean,his tyres could of been down half a psi,his suspn 2 clicks soft,any number of reasons for a Harley to clean him up.

I spend all my workdays at my desk in front of my 'puter and get bored occasionally. How's that for an answer? Hence the reason why I never (hardly) post on weekends. Erm. Back out on the bike now...

Hmmmm,I stand corrected,sort of,And yeah It was in pretty poor taste wasn,t
it.As to HD riders knowing this them selfs,I doubt many of them do.
I only found out about it while reading an articule about HDs addvertising style.Apparantly HD pulled the add pretty quick.When I had my own HDs the common term for the first Fatboy was cheese sandwich due to the yellow ring on the heads,But even that was pretty much an inside joke.
Hmmmmm,I can't help but notice that Tribesman hasn't been back.
Pity really he was a good joke to!!

Theres only one Hog that i've seen hauling arse (including Buel) and that was a fugley big somthing that a bloke called Willims or Willimson rides at Runapuna and Graymouth.

Lindsay Williamson
He used to ride a McIntosh Framed XR1000 quite some time ago,I think it was timed at 149mph at the BEARs speed trial one year,now on occasion he runs a Buell.

what reasons? like blind? dead and simply frozen on the bike???

Incidentally, that happen in spain apparently. Some biker got hypothermia on a long highway and went unconcious. cops chased him for 20 km or something and couldn't get his attention because he'd just frozen to death with his hand locked on the throttle! sounds far fetched but it did make the herald.
