no one HAS to be...especially to someone you dont know and just a randomOh yeh, guy was a dick. So what, someone has to be... better him than you.
I know what he was refering to... I was astounded by the silly comment of his. The brakes are far superior, the tech built into the bikes all around is honestly still ahead of ours. That would be in the same range of "old tech." as the others I mentioned.he was speaking in regards to harley/buell being outdated technology.
I was that noob 5 years back.'Round here, it's Harley or Squidly. I get attitude from both, but not often. Most of the Harley riders seem surprised when I wave, most wave back. Most Squidlies seem just as surprised and also wave back. Most of each. Being all geared up seems to help. Both classes of rider, generally, seem to respect that. Maybe they think I'm on a cross country odyssey, I don't know.
The noob, on the old, beat up bike, who's just happy to be on two wheels? He's so happy to be waved at that it's pathetically cute. I've had a few toss their arm out so violently that I was afraid they'd lose control of their machine.
I don't wave at scooters, on purpose. Around here, it generally means that person lost their license, or can't ride or drive a real vehicle for lots of other reasons I'm really not interested in. I've been in towns where a scooter is just an efficient way to get around. Downtown, that's still the case. Out on the backroads? Get off the damn road, you sorry ass piece of shit. It's frickin' twenty miles to the next town, and you can't break 40mph, without nary a passing zone between here and there. You're a menace and shouldn't be out here.
Rant aside, I'm something of an anomaly, where I live. I'm the only rider I've seen geared up, and most other riders simply don't know what to make of it. I don't ride a Harley, so I must suck. But I'm in full gear, so I must be doing something cool.
To the squids? Same deal. I'm not on a stretched out Bussa, showing my ass and sporting naked shins, so there's no way I'm cool. But I'm all geared up and on a sport bike. So I must be doing something cool.
End of story, most everyone waves, unless they're a true douche, or are simply so surprised that I wave, that they don't know what to make of it.
Some tard I know in queens who had a buell is like that.So I'm riding to school and theres a Buell rider that parks on the same street. Todays the first day I actually see the rider so I nod hello and park up the block.
As he is passing by all he says is Yamaha sucks and walks away. How annoying and confusing...I don't even care that he doesn't like Yamaha, that's his opinion and might be based on experiences. But was that really necessary....?
In my opinion...what a douche.
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one rider who was on the other side of the highway was so excited to see me he was waving his hand way up high and in a vigorous back-and-forth motion lol.
