Harley guys take life too seriously.. :(

[Cerberus]

Nice kill. I don't understand HD riders, some are cool, but others just act like idiots.

I had one pull up next to me going down the road at about 50. He dropped a gear and "tried" to leave me behind. I was crusing in 5th, I just rolled on the throttle, no contest.

In down town dayton here we have a small strip a couple of blocks long. The street is made of brick instead of pavement. Lots of bars and such. People all around. Now, Its a Friday night and I just got off work and was riding home and decided to cruise by. Lots of sport bikes and some harley riders on the weekend nights. I pull up to the light headed into the strip when a harley rider pulls up right beside me at the light and revs his engine. I look over and nod. So does he. Dont know what kinda harley... but does it really matter? Anyway. A group of guys from the bar that are standing in the parking lot see this interesting duo sitting at the light and start yelling to race. Keep in mind that on the other side of the light is the strip that is made of brick and you cant go more that 10 at best not to mention all of the people crossing back and forth. There was no place to race to so I just sat patiently and prepared myself for the retarded display of testosterone to be displayed and to watch the show and what i knew had to be the ending that could have only happened one way. As soon as the light turned green this guy took off like a bat out of hell. The bike leaped forward, darted to the right cause he lost control. Hit a concrete barrier that was about a foot of the ground. Sparks flew like the fourth of july as his exhaust scraped across it like a nascar driver into the wall. The bike went up into the air bucking him up in the air like he was on a mechanical bull.. Some how he managed to stay on it and avoid the outdoor seating area of one of the bars next to the street. He managed to get control again and sped off down the street and down a side street. Meanwhile i pulled gently into the intersection shaking my head and laughing..... All of the people in the parking lot were practically falling over with laughter.....I just cruised through and then decided to go home. Enough excitement for one night. I thought about trying to find the guy and asking him if he was ok and give him the name of a good mechanic that could fix his bike but i decided otherwise. he probably would have shanked me...lol... Funny thing is I dont know what he was trying to prove. I mean if he wanted to run light to light well thats fine. but not there. thats the last place to do that. I hope his ego has healed by now.

I thought it was just me with the HD guys. They always seem to have attitudes, with there little rev revs. I've got to the point I don't even give them the korny bike wave anymore.

 

[LadyHawk]

I always thought HD riders were a-holes too.
Then I went on a ride with GJoker and some HD guys from Central FL.

Yes, they drank beer at every stop, yes, hardly any of them had helmets on. But they respected my Busa, were knowledgeable about the Busa, and even appreciated my triple digit fly by.

Now it could have been because GJoker was with me, or I was a "girl" on a Busa. But they were very cordial, none the less.

I wave at anyone on 2 wheels (even mopeds when I don't realize it

) if they don't wave back it turns into a 1 finger salute. But come on, 2 wheels is 2 wheels. The a-hole HD guys are just ignorant.

 

[TurboSN95]

Yup, most HD guys are clueless when it comes to a lot of things.... I hate to sound like a @(%$ but its the general consensus nowadays. Most HD guys do not wave back at sport bikes, like LadyHawk said, I also wave at all 2 wheeled bikes, heck last night I waved at a kid on a moped! Seems to me and my friends (even import cruiser friends say this) that 80% of the HD guys will not wave back. If the HD guy sees a cruiser, they will bust out with a 1/2 wave, cause they are putting their hand back down when they see that its not a "harley".

Anyways, nice kill.... Love hearing stories like this. Just be careful!!

Your are right with the wave thing. They don't like to wave at sportbikes! I noticed that back on my first sportbike and was being nice and waveing and wouldn't get anything back. Now I'm mad

I'm on a war path now!

 

[VaBusa]

Mike (my husband) waves to the sport bikers when we're out riding...of course he then proceeds to wipe his hand on his ass like it's dirty

Me? I give the HD riders the finger if they don't wave...'course they don't know this since the mirrors vibrate so badly when they're looking back, IF they even look

I forgot to mention that.... I do the same thing!

 

[LB ROLLER]

its even funnier when you get the guy in the stock R6 or GIXXER 6 at the light next to you they get all cocky and drive away with one wheel in the air..til you pass them up get them at the next light and show them yours can ride on one wheel as well ....

(javie @ Aug. 13 2007,19:24) Ha so i just get done eating at spaghetti works with a few friends and theres a guy on a new harley in front of me thinking he's the king of the road.. revving his engine at the red light so I rev mine up to show him mine sounds sexier and he just tears off at the green light passing ppl like an idiot. So at the next light i pull up next to him and he looks over at me and smiles so i rev mine up and green light goes.. and 2 seconds later im at the green light 3 blocks away and he's way behind me. He pulls up next to me furious as all hell yelling crap at me like "oh you think you can pass me you aint got $hit" so i rev on him again.. this time i let him tear off on me for a lil bit.. make him feel better then just blow by him going 120

Sometimes you gotta put ppl in their place =D

Holy smack, that is amazing gjokers has been reincarnated into Javie now.

 

[javie]

Ha kick a$$ I have a new clone!
I wonder how awesome that Vespa sounded

 

[Spudley]

NO NO Nooooooooo....ya got it ALL wrong....first you rev it up...THEN you start watching the lights......THEN you start leaning into the handlebars like you're about to launch the space shuttle big time..........and when the light goes green let him blow off like he's planning to.  No more Harley Testosterone Tests....he's gone, and you're free to ride safely down the road.......

............................
















































Knowing full well, that Harley's don't stand a chance in H3LL of outrunning a Hayabusa.....not-a-one......nope, nevvah..................and with a little luck, a cop will be behind you, pull around you, pull the Harley over, and you get to ride by...........knowing full well what ya know......

Sue and I was down to Laconia, NH for bike week. We never did get to the races but rode to a couple of places she had not seen before. She also got to see True Ahole H-D riders. They are all not like this but,,,

We're going N on I-93 and 5-7 H-Ds are across the I side by side doing 45. Holding up a bunch of traffic. Cars beeping, One truck(Sue said she noticed as I went by) had his fr. bumper about 6in. from the rear tires of a couple of them. They were kinda weaving back and forth talking to each other or yelling to each other over the noise of their bikes, most likely the later.

I was with 2 other sport bikes and we were getting ticked. We thought in a while they would smart'en up but after 4-5 mi. they didn't. I never pass in the brake-down lane, but. We spead out, I took the R side, Jim the L side, and his friend got in the middle. It was funny we throttled up & backed off a couple of times and it was like the other cars knew something was up. They backed off alittle and stopped weaving, So did the H-Ds. The three of us saw the opening, dropped down acouple of gears, and went by them at a high, Very High rate of speed. We came together Very close in front of them. Must have been bad because the outside guys, with those 6ft. frontends almost took out their buds next to them. They were getting close and friendly back there. We all gave the 1-firger wave and went on our marry way, not fast, 65-70. But as I looked in the rear view I noticed they ALL got in the right lane and all the other traffic was passing them.

It was our good deed of the day.

I like it better when your up in the hills on a nice twisty road, you blow by them, then pull off for some gas down the road a bit, fill up have a bit to eat then they come by and pull into the same gas station and realize you have been there for 20 minutes. They have nothing to say then at all!

I once told a HD owner not to park his HD next to my Busa because while both bikes are running my Busa would starve his HD of air....

At the busa bash, as we were leaving to head home, we get behind two Harleys on the Dragon. There friend in the truck behind them was shooting video of them slaying the Dragon at a whopping 20 MPH! Now mind you I'm pulling an 8' X 20" enclosed trailer with four busas, all of our gear and four guys in the cab. They were holding all traffic up behind them. We were finally able to get around them. We stopped for breakfast up by Knoxville, and Semi and "Noodles" wanted to ride for awhile, so we opened up the trailer and got the busas out and headed for Nashville. 10 miles down the road we come up on the Harleys again! Semi and "Noodles" pulled up to them, rode along side of them for a ways, then dropped the hammer and disappeared! Omar and I smoked by them in the truck and trailer Too.
