Reinforcing stereotypes - Harley riders

[MSTRS:Me]

Blather????

This is 'constructive debate' LOL

...of course it is...

Daimler Benz did the 109s.

After the Rolls Royce engines...

*pops in to see if this thread made it to 5 pages, per Quasi's prediction*
She-it! 10, and the blather hasn't stopped.

Pah! 10? We're going for 50! This IS KB...

To the retard on the Harley that gave me the finger as he rode into Whatawhata, I was trying to warn you there was a cop around the corner, you twat!

As I rode into town yesterday about Noon (I live just off SH23 on the way to Raglan), I saw several cops, eager for WRC custom. I also saw lots of bikes and tried to warn them (by holding out my throttle hand, palm down). I won't fucking bother next time...

next time wheelie past the crack head, and roll a stoppie in front of him into a corner when he is close, he will crash, works everytime!

Yes MSTRS it is a constructive debate. Now I think you all need to refer to this website which clearly indicates the correct waving procedures for all Harley riders

www.manitowochog.com/safety.htm

Of particular relevance is how to indicate "staggered formation" and how to wave to a "rice rocket". There should now be no doubt about what the Harley rider is trying to say with the variety of waves.

Do Harleys go fast enough to warrent warning them of the fuzz?? Must have been a 50kph zone perhaps.

The "slow down" signal is given so the rider following knows there is a hazard on the road....probably bananas, weetbix and raisins.

Funny, i get to ride a lot of harleys. When i am riding a hog I always wave to the non american bikes and often dont bother waving to the harley riders. If i am not good enough for them to wave or nod me when on my suzuki then they are not real motorcyclists, and thats who i wave/nod to.

I'm sure they care too...

After all the pages and pages and pages of threads that go on and on and on about waving..i have some questions that have never actually been answered..... what is the big deal if people wave or not? Who said you have to wave or not? Why does it matter?

I have ridden for more than 30 years and, despite the rose coloured specs worn by some (we all waved back then), I can remember not everyone waving back then either. But so what. Did it stop anyone from enjoying their ride? Did it stop anyone riding? ooooo he didnt wave to me i am never riding again...don't think so..so why the big deal?

Just curious because it obviously is a big issue for some people......this is not intended to wind anyone up nor trying to flame the thread but I am seriously trying to get an answer to these questions.....
