Most HD Riders Are Not Idiots

Don't just read the first post, read all the responses he received. The vast majority tore him apart for his attitude and there were a lot of nice comments about the Spyder. I myself receive waves from more HD riders than any other bike.

Perhaps

it's a "regional" thing? I have only had my Spyder for about 10 days, but have ridden it every day and have never had anyone not wave (unless it was in the middle of traffic, etc).

All sorts of bikes and all sorts of riders. I find the HD riders around here some of the best. Then again, I haven't been asked to the clubhouse yet either! :roflblack:

I go out of my way to wave at everyone, including kids in cages that wave lots. Its fun to me, its part of the experience. I have seen 3 posts recently. 1 here, 1 on Bikepost and this one, all in different avenues of the same thread and the end of it is this. We should all just be happy that there are other bikes out there on the road. Hope for the best for them and be a good community.

I went to spyderfest and went on a passport ride to "Da Family" which was one of the best hours I had at spyderfest. They were open, happy to have us, and before we left since I had had a beer with them, looked at several of the firearms they had on hand and looked at some of their bikes and was intelligent about them, about 10 of them circled up on my bike and asked all kinds of questions. I opened up all my compartments, Let them look around sit, do whatever they liked. Even offered to let their President drive it, and he was interested but leary. In the end, in my opinion it was awesome, they were most impressed with the reverse. They loved it!

So honestly I have to say I have had a couple of bad comments and a tricycle parted next to my bike at work, but everyone has been pretty dang cool about it from 2 wheels to cages. Most of the people that get all tore up are the people that _need_ people to affirm what they are doing to feel better about their decisions and situations. If people dont like me and my choice, then so be it, I love what I am doing and riding and its all good.

I agree, some are. Although sometimes there is similar anti-Harley sentiment on this forum, also. Does that make them idiots as well?:dontknow:

YUP!nojoke Some folks can't figure out that it's not what you ride, it's THAT you ride!

I was glad to see him get devoured by his own HD pals.......

I've rarely had any HD guys give me any crap... most think the Spyder is pretty cool.....and for some reason they have a common belief they're pretty quick...

They are... compared to a dresser Hawg that's been feeding at the farkle trough...

Oh I agree; you can put track shoes on a pig. You'll never turn it into a greyhound, but you can end up with a pretty fast pig nonetheless! :thumbup:

*Please note: the terms "Pig" and "Hawg" are not being used to denote the same animal or motorcycle in this post.
One is obviously an animal destined to be consumed at any and all opportunities, and the other isn't...
And none of either persuasion were harmed during the making of this post!

Go back and check my replays to that thread,page 9 i'm a member of that forum:yikes:

I think we should change the Name of this thread and just state the following "Some riders (of all kinds of Non-caged vehicles) are IDIOTS

 

[dancogan]

I think it would not hurt to be a little more temperate, particularly in our thread titles. "Some" of almost any group are idiots, at least according to others within that group. But this thread title is inflammatory, IMHO.

Bob, that is one serious issue, look at what happened last week to one of my friends right in front of me.
sorry tho hijack the thread but it is for learning reasons.

Lost 35% of his memory, broken collar bone, 3 ribs, foot, rash allover his body, his bike messed up some how, its a brand new 2013 tiumph with 600 miles, the dealer is repairing it for free while they figure out what happen, he has been riding for many years and owns 8 bikes, so more than likely it was not human error:yikes:

lol...I can't believe some of the stuff I've been reading...It's so hilarious and quite immature...First off, I didn't know riding a bike makes a person cool. I know tons of bikers and I can't say they're all cool, oh well. I'm a spyder ryder and I'm way cooler than most bikers. hahaha j/k......Ignorant people will find a way in this world to discriminate against ANYTHING!!!!:gaah:

 

[Luckyme]

:agree:

But the responses he got "from his own kind" are very good!:clap:

We gladly wave at anybody. Even gaged ones sometimes.

 

[Eraser]

I wave back at anyone that waves at me,I don't care what their ride is...what are we waving at anyway???

:shocked: Wow! Sooo... What happened? Why'd he go down? Give him our best, and we're pulling for him to make a full recovery! :thumbup:

I disagree about him being an idiot. He has his own opinion and we have ours. I have read several threads started on "waving", etc., on this forum that have raised a few feathers. Come on, Spyder riders, you take life too serious. If someone doesn't wave to you on the highway, it doesn't mean that they are Spyder haters. They may be in their own world, doing what you should be doing, enjoying the serenity of the open road.
