harley dude rides like a tool

[manuboy]

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?

No,you never will get it - the offence was a good stir....the defence was the funny shit.

[scumdog]

I agree with Manuboys last post - some posts by others required 'quantum leaping to conclusions" imho.

Maybe they WERE trolls???

Lastly, MOTU -YOU CAN KISS MY HAIRY WHITE ARSE, YA BOLLIX

Can I assume that you're of Caucasian descent?

Don't leap to conclusions, idb, he could be an Albino...

Well I'm glad that's all settled then.

Oh dear oh me,we are all a bit thin skinned and literal in our interpretations....you guys probably watch Mr Bean or Faulty Towers with a straight face wondering what everyone is laughing at.

Ok mr dawnrazor (I don't know where you get the razor bit,I don't think you are too sharp) So you start a thread about some perceived bad riding on anothers part - I'm ok about that,such things cause me anguish too...but I'd be a bit reluctant on my own part to publicly dress them down....the old three fingers pointing back at me bit....(oops,um,do you want me to explain that one?....you see,there's this song by Dire Straights and it goes.....)

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,

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!
