I dont know if its the same in America but here in australia the most one-eyed riders i have come across are the new (mid-life crisis ) guys, who have ridden for a year and anything that aint a harley is sh#t, instant hells angels just add harley-daivdson .
New bike new leather jeans new jacket and a whole new bad boy attitude, i just look and laugh my first wife could have cleaned em all up :roflblack:


cheers mick

We call them "posers" - there are many of them around....most couldn't ride worth a damn - but I guess they didn't need to - anyone can saddle up and ride a mile down the road to a coffee shop or local watering hole to look cool...on a hot summer day - but not too hot....

After years of riding, I got my first HD...went looking for a HOG Chapter to join...all as you described - wannabe clowns with pressed chaps, dry cleaned jacket and designer sun glasses.....I ended up joining a chapter 1000K away in Cape Cod....I might not have attended many meetings but when I did, it was a decent ride getting there!

Yes Mick, my 2nd Xwife would have :bdh:which had YouTube been around would have made for some good laughs....

It's kind of sad, the attitudes I see when I'm on the road. I've been riding since 1954, and someplace in there realized that anybody or anything can beg, borrow or steal a motorcycle. Thinking that WHAT you ride is important is almost like thinking that what you clean up with after a dump is important. If it does the job for you, that's important, if it doesn't, try something else. There are many people who can't get it through their scalps, much less their skulls, that it doesn't matter what you ride, it's that you ride.

I've been riding a custom built for over a decade now and I wave at anyone on 2 wheels....have seen very few on 3 wheels but wave just the same...I do draw the line at racing bicycles...men and bicycle shorts just ain't right - on so many levels!!!!!!! just the though makes me :banghead: trying to have the memory out.

I'm just as guilty as everyone else when it comes to this but it seems like we ALWAYS remember those one or two fools who exhibit a negative, or questionable, attitude towards us......but what about the hundreds and hundreds of thumbs up, smiles and waves we get from the rest of the population? Certainly they should carry more weight in our thinking than the fools that you can count on one finger (the same finger over & over works for me.)

As for your tag - WHORAW!!!or is that huraw!!!! Sempre fi!
