tauntig harleys

[Superbusa]

went on a ride couple years ago that is 99% harleys. 1 of my buddies is a harley rider and we try to make this ride every year. well we leave the starting point and about a half mile down the road is a stop light. we pull up and there already 3 harleys at the light. so now theres me and 4 harleys and they look at me then my buddy. they all get ready for the green light. it goes green and i leave them and my buddy is in front of them. then we get to the highway. we come off the on ramp and go straight to the fast lane. we get to the next exit which is about 2 miles down. we pull up to the stop light and he says"i seen 140" then i tell him"i seen 170" and started laughing.

another time im at a traffic light and i see this yellow countach lambo. so i turn right and pull into a gas station up the road. wait for him to go by and meet him at the next light. we exchange glances and the light goes green. i take off normal hit second and look back and hes makin some funny faces and grabbin gears. i just go full throttle in second and get to the next light. i stop and look next to me and no lambo,so i turn almost all the way around to see where he was. needless to say he gave a grin and a thumbs up and gave up the race for the next green light.

Maybe sneer isn't the right word.  It is like they don't really see you or the look that you are taking up space on 'their' road.  I find it humorous and annoying at the same time.

I am on my busa and my brother is on his new Ultra Classic. He was going to show me what his bike would do. He let off after he hit 95. After we stopped, he said "I was doing 95, what were you doing". My reply was "I was waiting for you to get out of my way so I could get this out of second gear."

(kml @ Jan. 08 2007,19:23) Leaving a bar in Nanaimo British Columbia, in the early morning I found my CB1100f surrounded by Harleys, not just any Harleys but the local Hells Angels chapter. As the bar emptied, the president of local chapter came out, sat on his bike next to me and attempted to start the contraption. Chatting with the fellow angel next to him, the president concluded his conversation by saying;
"well I'm glad I'm not him".
He then turned to me, disparagingly looked down at my Honda, looked back up and said, smiling, while still trying to start his bike,
"and I'm glad I'm not you".
to which I replied,
"Well...I'm glad I'm not you"
"How come?" he asked, no longer smiling.
"Mine starts" I said.
At that point I made a show of pressing the start button with one finger and then promptly rode off.
What was he going to do? Start his bike and follow me?

cheers

Like put his .45 to your helmet and vent it

(Poppy @ Jan. 06 2007,17:31) I don't see the point in taunting anyone on bikes.
Besides, they might have another bike in their garage that might smoke your a$$....... Plenty of Harley & Busa owners on here.

this is true, but you can tell the difference in a hard core Harley guy and a "bi-rider".

OMG! Bi-Rider? I don't think I will add that to my signature line. Over my 39 years of riding I have met all kinds of riders from 1%'ers to squids, some were OK people and some were just plain A-holes. I personally don't try and screw with anyone on the road but it is aggravating to find people who cop an attitude because of the bike they ride. When I am out on one of my Harley's I find sport bike riders who sneer, when I am out on my 'Busa I find Harley riders who sneer. I just blow them off, fug'em I am out to enjoy myself, my machine and the open road. Five hundred years ago Leonardo da Vinci remarked, "Se tu sarai solo, tu sarai tutto tuo" (If you are alone, you are your own man). If you feel you have to prove something to someone you're missing the point.

Well Said!
