harley dude rides like a tool

[Stevo]

Bastard hardley riders... just so long as they don't start doin any other sportsbiker tricks... moment some old coot on a V-Rod pops a wheelie and smokes me off the line I'm really gonna lose the plot.

Imagine if he could out stoppy ya!

[madboy]

Oh come now, that's just being stupid... everyone knows Hardleys don't have brakes!

[QUOTE=dawnrazor]I was raced by a dude on a harley 1200 sportster off two sets of lights, under taken twice,

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

[Lou Girardin]

There's an awful lot of assumptions happeneing here, I hope I don't meet some of you lot on a jury.
I'm not that far off 60, but the looney gene is still there. Not as obvious as it was 30 years ago though.

[terbang]

Oh well he didn't crash and neither did you..Alles Gut..:slap:

[dawnrazor]

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

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.

[NordieBoy]

What do Hippo's have to do with this?
Was he fat?

[dawnrazor]

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!

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.

Pot....Kettle...Black....

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.

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.

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.

[suckingair]

I sort of fell for you dude.. some thing similar was happening to me. I would filter to the front of a queue and some dude on a cruiser (that was too wide to filter.. I blame the tassels from the handle bars..) would go blatting past at 30 over the limit. Next set of lights, repeat..
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.
Many others express their rants here, and you're entitled to yours as they are

Is there something in the water or is it the humidity that's creating all this angst.
Mr Razor is a reasonably sensible rider, at least as far as motorbicyclists go.
