The REAL bikers, guys and gals who respect riding on two wheels dont go to these events. Well, except for maybe a good laugh. I been a harley rider all my life. No posing here. I feel for the people who live in these towns who host the big ralleys. Yeah my harleys have loud pipes. wakes up the cagers! But all those newbie riders who sit and rev and make noise amongst their own kind are just fools. I always tell them, "yeah like we never heard a harley before". This weekend is an event call Easyriders Rodeo in my part of Ohio with about 50,000 bikes riding around. I go the OTHER way. these posers and newbies are just down right DANGEROUS! I can see why you are upset, but i must say, its just NOT the harley riders. though they are the most prevelant! Thank the stars you dont live in Daytona! You only have to put up with that rally every 5 years! Ride safe, ride Well.

So bigDiesel how do you really feel?
I'm here in Milwaukee right now. Sounds like you've got a serious problem, go see a psychiatrist. You think ALL the pricks here can't ride? Wanna challenge this "rediculous poser" when you get to The Dragon?
I used to own a FXDXI Dyna. Harley makes some pretty bikes. However, with that said most Harleys are death traps. They have poorly engineered brakes, handling, power delivery, no horsepower and until recently, most bikes used bias belted tires instead of radials. Did I mention they are heavy? So what draws people to these modern dynosaurs anyway? They are made in America and lot's of advertising !
Hey Scott, I feel your pain man. I have been there done that with you. I am staying south this weekend just for that reason. We have been out all weekend riding our Harleys (Kurt and I). we have the same Jak Azz wanna be Outlaws-Hells Angles-Mongrel-Black Piston-But can't because I am just a jag off's down here. Our sportbike clowns are also out in force. Dude that is why I left Milwakuee in Jan and moved back down here.
Now for those of that think BigD is hatin. He is not and this is not a reply to flame anyone who may come across as thinking he is. If you have never been to a "Harley Sponsored" Event you do not know what you are missing. It is NOTHING like Daytona or Sturgis. It is more wacked than that. HEre you can run 100 miles in any direction Execpt East (The lake is there. LOL) and it is a major Cluster. It is fun, but thank goodness Harley can only afford to do this every 5 years. Nobody here is intending to be a hater.
So Scott, lets change plugs Monday morning and go do a route plan for October's MnG btoher.
DON'T KILL, they don't know any better bro' If they did, they would have rode their Busa's Like I did in the parade.
Just my 2 pennies.
