Placidfemme - Do you know every road that you ride on for the first time...?
I have just spent the last 20minutes downloading this video (Damn Dial up)
and yep they passed on a double yellow line and on a bend they couldnt see around.
Yep they are giving all cruisers a bad name... but hell I have seen sportbikes doing that as well.
One or two HD riders did something stupid.... but not all HD riders and other cruiser riders ride stupid... One can only hope that the rider was ok.

the rider will most probably be fine, he'll just have the piss taken outta him for a couple of years to come.....

Firstly I ride a Harley and yes that guy was a dickhead.
While the guy who clearly can't ride is on a Harley, why does that always mean that the sportsbike fraternity here decide to have a crack at Harleys and cruisers??? Since when is it a requirement to know every road you travel on. Where is the fun in that? How would you get to ride on new roads? I do agree though that any new road has to be treated with respect (in fact all roads) and that you should always ride within your abilities..
Are you trying to tell me that the sportsbike riders here have never overtaken on a double yellow line or pulled a wheelie past a car overtaking, filtered through traffic at 100kph+ or an endless list of stuff that one always reads about here? How many sportsbike riders here have had on off on the road through doing something stupid?
Yes there are dickheads who ride Harleys just as there as dickheads who ride sportsbikes..but equally there are some pretty good people who ride Harleys and pretty good people who ride sportsbikes...
I would like to suggest a challenge to all KBs...lets try for a whole week on this site of nobody slagging off each other..after all doesn't everyone here always profess about the brotherhood of motorcyclists? (like that actually exists is another argument entirely anyway).....after all who the f*ck cares what you ride as long as you ride...a dickhead is dickhead on a Harley, a Suzuki, BMW, Honmda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, MV Augusta, Ducati, Hyosung....
Anyway I wonder if the collective here will take up this challenge.................
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

Always "heard" that HD's were crap at cornering at pace. Now I've "seen" it...

The reason why people started bashing harleys, is because they are tanks that don't stop, and don't corner. Maybe it was just the knob end on the bike only knowing how to use the rear brake that caused it, but even my dad on his tank Honda Valkyrie would have been fine there. Also, there's not a lot of nice feelings towards HD riders as it is very few and far between that they will return your nod, and just their general attitude. However, I do know 2 guys that own the very rare Screamin' Eagle Harleys, and they are both top blokes. I just think that the ratio of wankers on Harleys is higher. Probably because they are ego trippers who are desperate to pay way too much for a bloody name.
With regard to the "brotherhood of motorcyclists". Harley riders generally (not all) like to think they are in a separate class because of the HD name. I would gladly accept any into MY brotherhood, but not if they have the wrong attitude.
P.S. One of the guys with the screamin eagle is thinking of taking it back, cause he said that it felt like it was going to jump off the road as he got close to 200kph, just totally unstable, and he's a bit dissappointed that it's not safe at high speeds.

Hands up all who have never "screwed up" on the road? Most times we get away with it and think PHEW! Bummer this Guy got caught on video - maybe the CAmera operator could do a trace on his plate and post him a complimentary copy = or better still, to his Club!
Forum whore
Too right... Got in too deep, lost his nerve, paniced, hit the brakes and screwed up! Happens every day! Sometimes here in NZ as well.
I'll bet every rider has done exactly that at some time or other, most get away with it and whats the chance a video camera will be rolling when we do?
Shit happens.
Just faidin away!
Do you know whats worse, for me anyway!
I am a Ulysses member and notice at times there have been some unfavourable comments about Ulysses riders on here, like in the BRONZ forums.
Well these guys in the video looked for all the world like a group of Ulysses riders I'm afraid. Damn!
I don't think you can just lay the blame on any one group, that guy and the one behind him are just piss poor riders, I thought it was bloody hilarious. (LMFAO)
