    You (and others in that thread) make it difficult not to stereotype Buell riders as antisocial cocksuckers... Clipping mirrors is one thing, being proud of it enough to post it up here... well, I can see why one poster would attribute the label white trash to that sort of person, that is indeed the sort of crap that I'd expect from such a person.

    Yeah mate, everyone makes mistakes; you don't strike me as the sort of self absorbed wanker that would continue to hit them in a line of traffic after you clipped the first one though

    I did wonder if you could nick them for that... would you though? Well, maybe not you... but highway patrol?

    Probably... got quota to get, ya see.... Dumb arse needs a rocket at least....

    Can arrest for Dangerous. Careless is not arrestable. Summons more likely, for either.... but the attitude test might play a part..........

    What a dork. Seems ironic that he has bothered to put on a high vis vest and no other protective gear other than a helmet.
    The guy should definately take a look in the mirror before he leaves the house, fugly even off a motorbike!

    Once again a very harsh call..same as me saying that you must have something sexual going with furry animals hence the avatar but that would just be petty......Let me explain this really simply.......That thread was all aboput riding a different bike and the way it handled differently to the bike the rider was used to. Maybe the clipping of mirrors might have been over done but surely didnt require the vitriolic replies that it received..that it my point here..everyone has done something on another bike they might not do on their own bike - be that a mirror clipping, an oversight in cornering whatever. Just cant see why the wwwaaaaaaaaaaaambulance brigade jumps all over someone for cocking it up!!!!!
    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

    God I was stunned! - perhaps someone can get the photo off TVNZ - paul Henry or something so we can identify and shame this wanker.
    Hell's teeth! Harleys must have lousy engine breaking!

    On my old Yammi, I'm lucky if I get 500M down a steep hill, both hands off, before she wants to come to a shuddering halt.

    Pisses me off. Doesn't give me time enough to get my cell out, much less text.

    Hmmm. Maybe I need to buy a Harley to fulfil my hands-off, I need to text, mode.

    Good heads-up. Thanks mate.
