Some HD riders are IDIOTS!!

[zrc]

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...

At least they did when you had an RS! :joke:

 

[spyderrock]

read that thread right to the end and yes look at all the crap he took from his own forum members, I am a member of that forum as well. There are a lot of people there that dont care what people ride and then there are people like him(a little out to lunch). I get into it all the time with one guy from Detroit on the tri glide forum about how he will never buy foreign, he goes on to talk about Canada like its China yeash man take a pill. I have to explain to this guy about the fuel(Oil and Gas) he puts in is Harley, that it comes from us here in Alberta that really sends him off on a rant:roflblack::roflblack:. I do it because I know it drives him nuts. You will never please all of the people there are a lot of grumpy old farts out there and let them live in their own miserable life. I wave to every one bikers hot rodders and especially red heads(the female kind) in pick up trucks i wave to them all, if I can make someone smile I had a good day!!

: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:

They still trying to figure that out, i will pass your good wishes to him!

 

[Rayelljay]

I wave to all riders except when in the twisties....my hands stay on the bars....a nod of the head will suffice.

Ouch, i hope your friend recovers....ray:

 

[lyonsden]

I wave to everyone.hyea: I did notice when my HD friend and I went to pickup my trailer up in Southern MN and we drove over into South Dakota that most of those guys don't wave period. It didn't matter if it was me on my Spyder or my friend on his harley they didn't wave. So don't get paranoid about it being the spyder, maybe there just not feeling very friendly today.

Coz,
Take a peek in the "stuff for sale" section... This topic obviously doesn't want to die, so why do we want to keep :banghead: ? :roflblack:

He got torn up by his own kind. They're right its not about what you ride it's just the fact that you are riding and respect needs to be given to everyone

 

[DiverChix]

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

:agree:

I happen to love the hubby's HD Street Glide and I am saddened when I read negative comments regarding HD riders on here. I have responded privately when one posting offended me as a "partial" owner of a HD. Having said that...I went to the HD forum after reading the OP, and gave my 2 cents worth! Why can't we ALL get along?

Yesterday I helped a HD rider on my commute home. He was respectful, I was respectful, and that is the way it should be! Someone that rode a "different" bike than mine stopped and helped me take a photo of my 5k mile mark and I could care less what he was riding. These types of postings makes me want to :barf: I have read postings on this forum bad mouthing HD riders and now I have read postings on another forum bad mouthing Spyder owners...will it ever stop? Probably not...

What strikes me as "funny" is that when riding, the bikes on the other side of the road are coming at us pretty darn fast. Obviously Spyders only look like, well, Spyders. I can't tell what the people riding towards me are on until we are pretty close. By that time, my hand is out giving the "biker wave" as are theirs'. I've never encountered an "un-returned wave", and if I did, I don't believe I would think a thing about it. Could be for numerous reasons.......

I was riding my two wheel recumbent bicycle around a lake in Dallas. A guy on a two wheel bicycle went blowing by me and yelled "cheater"!!! What??? Obviously he had never tried to ride up a hill in a sitting position on a 60lb recumbent bike! He was apparently an uneducated purist. I was however, riding my bike on the same riding trail, going around the same lake, and having the same fun. Go figure.

I pity the people who have to step on others just to make themselves feel superior. THAT is their burden of shame to bear.....not mine.

We ride for the love of it.......no one can take that away

Having ridden all types of cycles over the last 30+ years(including sportsters), HD as a
company contributes to this issue and their marketing will always have an adverse effect
on the weaker minded. If you don't ride an HD you're UnAmerican, if you don't wear black
leather and a beanie helmet then you're a dork, and the whole uncaged thing is just plain
lame. Sheep will be sheep, idiots will be idiots, and sometimes being tolerant of it all just
really sucks.

Touche!

I ride mainly with HD guys...never an issue. We always have fun. A couple of years ago I rode in Rolling Thunder and left from an area HD dealership...yeah, maybe 500 HDs and me. Funny thing is that every one of them that I met was courteous and interested in the Spyder. In fact, they let me be one of the flag-bearers. Not one of them snickered or said anything negative. What was especially funny was seeing their wives come over and say things like 'if you had one of these, I'd ride on the back of it'. And some of the guys actually seemed interested.

What matters most is that you're on the road (safely) having fun. Most motorcyclists know this and those who don't have other issues that probably requires them to get some therapy to help fix...

 

[Bob Denman]

Have we jumped the shark yet?

 

[sandrunr1]

I just figure if they dont wave, they may be scared to let go of the handle bars. Some hold on for dear life. I wave to everyone, even cagers as long as they are on the right er left side of the road. Well some anyway. But I do try not to wave to cops as I dont want to draw attention. :roflblack:

 

[Blue Star]

Funny, just today I met a guy from the Diablos M.C., and he invited me to their Fall Ball rally. He said he heard of the Spyder (I was in my cage at the store) and heard they were fast.

It's HOGfest in Windsor

We shall see about the "waving"! Over 1000 riders in town for the weekend. Harley Owners only! I am hoping that it's not a "herd" mentality when they drive by. Up until now (including this morning) the HD riders have waved way more often than not!
