Harden up and get a life

Ok Divot, this is not an attack at you, Im using your post as an example.

Yeap an example of what lots of you moaning bikers who dont get waved at by Harley write very often.

When reading the many threads of KB, there is a "who wants a fucking Harley" statement in every road test about Harleys.
Big Dave will give us a sencibile report of say a Nightster,
And the Harley boys come in and read that report,
But
Every second post in the reply section will be from some jerk abusing Harleys,
Calling them all sorts of overweight, tractor powered, exspensive junk what ever.
And the Harley owners read your comments.
.

They dont sling off at you! Because you ride a Jappa! Well maybe they do, but not as loud and as long of some within these pages

Wave back? Why should they, you have already made them you enemy with your abuse, now just because they are riding the road with you you expect respect??????
Get real guys, you are getting back what you dish out.

I read your post several times actually and couldn't decide if you were being sarky or not LOL.

Thats the bummer about these internet forums eh? The written word can be so easily misconstrued...

You tubers!

Havent read the whole thread, so apologies if I get the wrong end of the stick.

I have actually come across riders, on Harleys, on Sports Bikes etc who dont wave. I dont find one group is more friendly than the other.

I have meet alot of lovely Harley riders, infact they rode over the Masterton to take my Mum for a ride on the back of a Harley for her Birthday this year, and even let me on the Bandit lead them to her house

. I also have someone special to me who rides a Harley and he waves to everyone. Just because you see a few bad apples on Harleys who dont wave doesnt mean they are all the same. Although I am guessing that someone else has already pointed this out

Hahahahahahahah thats funny but I think its safe to say that Big Ds tuber comment was a reference to my Buell.

On Planet Buell the old school Buells are referred to as tubers... cos they have tubular frames...
