My thoughts on most people who ride harleys...

Off topic, but Lift Chief, what's your avatar? I know that symbol ... but I can't put my finger on it.

I have no idea... i just like the quasi-satanic look of it... if you figure it out let me know.

I was at Myrtle Beach recently and motorcycle week happened to coincide with our stay there.

Basically what i noticed was that it's primarily 40 and 50 year olds riding harleys. They are almost always
1) overweight
2) wearing a bandana and leather jacket
3) accompanied by an overweight, unattractive, older woman

It's pretty sad how these people are trying to recapture their youth... or something. They think they are pretty tough and pretty cool riding their harleys and gunning them every chance they get. They don't realize how ridiculous they look....

I guess harleys were "cool" when these people were growing up, and now that they can afford one of their own they've neglected to realize they're too old to look "cool" riding one... sigh.

can i get an amen...

Don't care how I look. Only care about how much fun I am having.

And to whomever said that "real" bikers don't ride Harleys anymore they build their own. I have an Ultra Classic in my shop as well as a Daytec frame with an S&S113" and a Revtech 5 speed in it so it can go either way...:rolleyes:

There are TWO types of bike gatherings.

One for the enthusiasts (the old farts)

and one for the REAL bikers (where the fights, gang wars, hot chicks flashing tits, 1000's of cops, occur).

You went to the wrong one.

I definitely didn't go to myrtle beach for the bikers... the fact that they were down there when i was is what i'm complaining about.
 
I realize this is me stereotyping bikers, but I can't stand them for the !@#$ noise they make. Great so it's an American tradition. That's one American tradition I can do without. The majority of bikers that I run into feel the need to flaunt their loud pipes at every single opportunity with no consideration for other people. Is it possible for someone with a Harley to sit there and idle at a stoplight? Of course not. They have to gun their engine so that everyone at the light is aware of their supreme presence.

LOOK AT ME I'M ON A HARLEY!!! LOOK AT THIS OBNOXIOUS NOISE I CAN MAKE BY GIVING IT SOME GAS!! I'M NOT ABOUT TO GO ANYWHERE, JUST WANT EVERYONE TO CHECK ME OUT!!!

When I was 16, I got a noise pollution citation because of the bass in my car. I deserved it. I had a hatchback Mustang with a couple of 15"s in the back. It was as annoying as any jackass Harley I've heard with opened up exhaust. Cops do fuck all about the noise that comes out of bikes. And you can't compare it to rice exhaust because I've never heard a grapefruit shooter emit a sound that you can feel in your chest.

Not only the sound annoys me, but also the fact that no one can ever manage to keep their motorcycle in the center of the lane. They're always cruising about 3 inches from the lane divider making every single car around them that much more nervous and cautious around them. Why is it so hard to keep a bike in the center of the lane??

:mad:
 
That pretty much sums up my opinion of these assholes too......

Hmmm, I have a funny feeling there must be a different group of owners in different parts of the country. First let me say I do not own a Harley! I think they are nice bikes with a great company history but that is about it. As far as only "dirtbags" riding them I would say quite the opposite. I live in Arizona in the Phoenix / Scottsdale area, and I find that the people riding the Harleys are business men and young rich 20 year olds that have $$$$. They are either on Harley's or they buy the handbuilt custom bikes that are really costly. The noise regulations are enforced quite stictly especially in the nicer sections of Scottsdale & Paradise Valley. There are the occasional idiots that wake people up and tear through streets at all hours but most are just enjoying a hobby as much as we enjoy fitness! Enough said.
