Harley rider bins it...

[far queue]

'whack!' and an added 'he's a Harley rider' bashing' -"biffo!"

Oh yes, now I feel soooo good about ME!!, I now know I'm sooo much better than that guy!

Aye scum
What shits me all the ones who say 'Harleys are ....' and they haven't even SAT on one.
Late model Harleys go well, handle quite nicely and are pretty reliable. I KNOW - I've ridden every model in the range. So don't be a dick and say 'Harleys are....' UNTIL you've at least ridden one.

mmmm, the fishing's good today, you guy's bite so well.

Me, I've never ridden a HD, and have only ever sat on one. I don't really give a shit what you all ride, we're all bikers But because you guys tend to bite like this it makes it fun to poke the stick at you :eyepoke: Have a look at what I'm riding, it's hardly a sports bike either. One thing I really don't like about HD's is they're so bloody loud and you bastards like to leave them idling for ever outside my tent on a rally Sunday morning when I'm not feeling the best :slap: And one thing that I really am curious about is why is it that HD riders don't wave back?

He prolly would not have known it was just a pullover for a taillight though. Just seen the lights and paniced. As someone said, maybe had other reasons for not wanting to talk to Mr Plod. His call, sorry for him that it went pear shaped, but thems the cahnces you take.I wondered what the ruddy chopper was doing going back and forth over Mr Wellington (suburb, not mountain) last night.

Well, he paid the price for not doing the sensible thing. I guess we all make mistakes, hopefully not as bad as this one though...

(BTW, "cahnces" isn't a word)

Do you wave to every single person who waves to you??????

[NotaGoth]

i think the issue is that he was on a $75k bike (who cares what it is) and tried to do a runner, failing miserably, making himself look right a right plonker in the process

Yes a right plonker. I get that bit.

[Marmoot]

Wonder if THIS guy was displaying his L plate?

"L" for Lame?

[nadroj]

Do all $75,000 Harleys come with broken tailights?

[NotaGoth]

Not the bikes fault its rider was a dick

Yes actually, unless I'm a bit busy at the time. But I've never had a HD rider wave back to me, either on my current bike or previous (GSX750F), and I know that this is a common trait among HD riders. I don't know if they wave to each other or not.

[NotaGoth]

I'm a bit busy at the time.

Well there you go. Some people rather concentrate on their riding than concentrate on waving to every single joe blow that rides past.

I mean.. Its not like I go out and wave at every single cage I drive past.. :spudwhat:

So, you seem to be saying here that HD's require such a high level of concentration to ride that you could possibly give a give a friendly wave. This seems to confirm what everyone says about their handling. Never having riden one myself I wouldn't know, but I had wondered that. I assume that you ride one yourself and therefore speak with some authority on the subject? Or are you just talking shit?

Here ok, I was driving my cage through the Coro way. Yeah my cage. Waved to probably 20 bikers. Even stuck my hand out the window BIG WAVE. Even though I was in a cage, did I get a single wave back? Oh and lets not forget.. They were all on harleys.. ACTUALLY THEY WERE ALL SPORTSBIKES. Get over it. IF someone wants to wave to you, they will. And no I'm not talking shit. Just sick ofpeople taking the piss out of harley riders. Shall we bitch about everyone who don't wave? :slap:

EDIT: stupid sprotsbike riders.. not waving..

[R6_kid:Me]

what a fuck knuckle... the cops are too close i cant stop now

[CPB]

Doing a runner because your tail light is out....doing a runner while your boss is watching.....doing a runner on a $75,000 motorcycle.

I'd say exessive stupidity was a contributing factor in this accident.

well said.

I have. Ratty , Petal and Phoebe quite often get a wave from HDs. Especially Ratty for some reason. Can't remember getting a wave back on Der Uberfarter though. But then no-ones waves to him. I think they're all mesmerised by the steady clomp of the jackboots.
