Always like to see the "big" version that covers most m/c types. Thanks Bob. :yes:

It's more satisfying to poke fun at more people, all at once!

I had a dirty looking HD rider stop at a light beside me. He realized I was riding a dual sport Kawasaki and it made him mad. So when the light turned green he took off hard and I think it only made him madder when I pulled along side him in 3rd gear and waved at him. I kind of felt sorry for him a guy his size on a 250 dual sport outrunning his drag pipe Harley. He was fully equipped with leather jacket and HD dew rag. At the next stop light he made a left turn on red so he didn't have to sit beside me again.
