But what really outraged me was when - get this - he waved.

How dare he.

What an absolute tosser that Harley rider is.....first for speeding ....and then for waving

.

He will give Harley riders such a bad name for being friendly to sportsbike riders.... years of effort down the drain!

I only ride a GN, so I have to be nice to everyone in order to not offend and get laughed at even harder, but at least there is a small area in which I am able to feel (slightly) superior in the biker community.

Anything lower than a 250 or mopeds

Unless it's an FXR150, Aprilia 125, Gilera Runner 180...

I started on the Yammy version of the GN, a Yammy SR185.
Would have killed for the 250

The stereo-type goes that Harley rider's are fat 50+ year olds going through a mid-life crisis with alot of money to spend who try and attempt a 'bad-ass' image by not waving to other riders, looking down on other riders and generally thinking that Harleys are better than anything else.

I have also seen the odd slandorous comment that Harleys are unreliable and need constant repairs and are alot of money for a bike that doesn't go as fast as the Jappas.

Also throw in leather bandanas, tassles, a pair of aviators for good measure and fingerless gloves, usually all Official HD brand wear and a patch on the back.

That's what people have against Harley's and the owners of, atleast so it appears.

Cept that cross bones video with them riding with skateboards and snowboards was just weird..

Oh please SD...the fact that you own a Harley is evidence enough that you don't care what anyone else thinks.

look im NOT fat yes im 50 i wear what the fuk i want i dont buy harley branded gear i dont wear sunglasses when rideing and i do definatly not wear fingerless gloves, i had a really bad off in 2004 on a tr6r no fuka stopped to help me the bike landed in my chest, i had got sun strike on a bend and could not see the end of the road, i was left lying with my feet allmost in the rush hour traffic looking up at rubber neckers going past me not giving a shit, i had pinctured my lung broken six ribs cut my spleen in two damaged my liver,bladder and i was in a lot of pain i had to get back on my bike and get home about 8 to 15ks i did it or i would not be here today then i was left in A&E while they fuked about for allmost six hours and when they opened me up i had lost two thirds of my blood internaly, it has seriously fuked my life up and my head i have to use a tube to piss now i have to constantly take medication as my white blood cells attacked and took out my thyroid i sold the triumph and gave up bikes for about six months blaming the bike, but at the end of the day if it was not for the bike i would not of made it, so i now cant work ive been in mental hospitals ive had there drugs thrown down my neck been misdiagnosed five times with different mental conditions, then given ECT and that really fuked up my head i didnt know who i was i didnt know my wife after being married for 28yrs i did not even know my kids and i still cannot remember them being born even though im told i was there.

so if you ride a 150 motorcycle i will wave most of the time i actually salute i ride a 1998 harley fatboy chromed out with six grands worth of graphics painted on it, it has won quite a few comps im proud of my bike i enjoy riding it, so for dim witted so called fellow bikers you ride what you want I DO NOT CRITISIZE what you ride, you enjoy it but let other people get along with there life, what i can not understand BD is what was the problem with this guy just doing about 85 did he impeed you in any way ??? was the wave an insult to you ?? or if the shock was so bad and you could not handle it maybe its time to hang up your helmet because one day two harley riders might wave to you and maybe you might fall off.
