But actually I'm just waiting for MBB to correct the broken english of whoever started this thread and incorrectly used a plural ("fools") when the anecdote in the OP lists just one fool on one Harley.

One "old" fool Horse. Now did the rider have an open face helmet to varify the fool was old or is he just assuming the fool is old because he rides a Harley. Could be a young fool(young fools can look older than they really are especially once they own a Harley, hair goes grey, teeth fall out and piles appear) as some of us old fools prefer Hondas

Hmmm I've only seen Triumph T's at my local - he did say there was a lot of gear coming. Those leathers look spiffy. The gloves are Alpine Stars I think.

No tassles for Triumph gear then?

I almost sprayed latte all over my blackberry when I read that....
could have been worse ....split it on my Dainese's or worse the 900ss......

This is one thing that really stood out at a big international Harley convention down in Dunedin a couple of years ago. The streets were lined with all these people that all looked the same.! Many people i know commented on this.

Tell me, what makes you so angry?

Tiny minds and pettiness, As perfectly illustrated by your bizarre belief that pointing out an error in grammar is itself making some sort of point.

Tell me oh elitist language guy, Do you stop people mid-sentence during a conversation face to face to point out they mispronounced a word or are you just an internet language wanker? Or are you capable of seeing that it doesn't matter and people would just consider you a fucktard?

Hey, If it makes you look clever in your own eyes, Then right on, Your a legend, You know some shit.Wooohoooo, Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah.

I'd rather fuck up some shit grammar then create a thread calling someone a fool because they didn't dress in a fashion I considered to be cool.

In fact, On behalf of the guy on the bike out there doing his thing I'd like to give a big old fashioned FUCK YOU to those that would give him shit for his gear, And grammar be fucked.

Im fuckin stoked if I look stupid in your eyes. Smell my finger.

You are an angry little man, aren't you?
Still, your spelling and grammar has improved markedly, well done.
Now let's work on those paragraphs...

Yep. Best to just filter out the worthless opinions of the cock smokers and move on.

The Brit-Iron boys are better than the Ducati boys, 'cos, well, the're dagos.

The Harley boys are better than the both of them, cos, well, it 'aint Yank iron.

The V-twin boys are better than the in-line four boys, 'cos, shit, they have no torque. And they're better than the Harley boys too, modern technology and all that!

The two stroke boys, well, they're just f*ckin' history.

The Honda boys...well sheeit, everyone is better than a Honda rider.

Hoysung or however those Chinese Bastards spell it, we're all better than all of them, too!

Scooters. Holy Crap!!!

Noobs on 250's, well we all had to start somewhere.

Idiots on all of them without gloves or jackets.

Youngsters in one piece leathers on sport bikes fanging it and going faster than everyone else. And knowing it and feeling quietly superior, just like every other prick they pass on the road.

BMW riders in full wet weather gear. Predictable.

So I guess whatever you ride makes you better than every other bastard you see on the road. So good on you mate!

I say congrats to the guy,he made it through and has earned the right to wobble round when/where he choses methinks.I can only offer thoughts to whoevers up there asking that i to have the good fortune to be old and still riding,methinks just like the lack of hair on my head and abundance of wrinkles on my face that others opinion of what i chose to ride and wear whilst doing so wont matter one iota.

Could be worse - Wobbly Old Fool could have bought a set of golf clubs instead as gentlemen "of a certain age" do.

At least he has a sense of adventure

Seems to have a sence of humour too.
