All the biker wave to each other out here, just not to scooters.

My 2004 Harley has 23000 miles on it, not a lot for a 10 year old bike. The majority of those miles were put on it before I bought my 2009 KLR and my Honda's. My 6 year old KLR has 2300 miles on it. Is it because it's a Kawasaki? I know of quite a few Harley types that ride all the time... having a 4 year old 'Hog' with 40-50k or more on it is not unusual. For me right now, having multiple bikes, multiple homes, a wife who doesn't ride, and a career play a big part in my riding habits. In a few years when I retire, I plan to trade in my current Harley for a Road or Electra Glide and will definitely put the miles on. Cross Country trips are in the plans. My KLR and my CB? They will stay as my play bikes. So am I a rider? Sure, just not a 'frequent rider'... at least not right now. It's amazing how a simple thread about Harley riders waving can be spun in such a different direction. Maybe we need another oil thread... I like Mobil 1.

Great. No problem with it. On one level, I'm in complete agreement - riding is riding.

THAT SAID...my lo-rent apartment, rented for quick approval a year ago, is right against an Interstate on one side and fronts an important street. A mile down the street is the region's H-D dealership.

It's annoying. It really IS. Of all the things to use as identity...ANNOYING NOISE?





In my old age, I have a few moral precepts. Calling attention to one's self is unbecoming. One's work or art should do its own speaking.

And calling attention to one's self by CAUSING DISRUPTION...is the mark of a lout.

Other than that...if apehangers, with your hands going numb from neuralgia from being held over your head for hours...with minimal springing, and your tailbone taking it all because you're in the Barcalounger position...if that's your thing, who are any of us to say otherwise?

Do you really think that SHOUTING helps you get your point across — especially when you are complaining about people making excessive noise?

In addition, if i were to describe your posts with such broad brush strokes at those you've used to paint H-D fans I'd say that they are divisive with the intent to merit strong responses. That wouldn't exactly be fair — only some of your posts qualify.

I see it both ways...and Chip, obviously cultured and of varied tastes, owns one of ours and one from the Dark Side.

Great. No problem with it. On one level, I'm in complete agreement - riding is riding.

THAT SAID...my lo-rent apartment, rented for quick approval a year ago, is right against an Interstate on one side and fronts an important street. A mile down the street is the region's H-D dealership.

I don't go there so I don't see if it's a masquerade party...not my scene; not my business. BUT...with pavement on both sides, and the weather warming up...this afternoon I noticed....how MANY times I hear the open-pipe Blat-blat-BLATBLATBLAT as they roll by.

It's annoying. It really IS. Of all the things to use as identity...ANNOYING NOISE?





In my old age, I have a few moral precepts. Calling attention to one's self is unbecoming. One's work or art should do its own speaking.

And calling attention to one's self by CAUSING DISRUPTION...is the mark of a lout.

Other than that...if apehangers, with your hands going numb from neuralgia from being held over your head for hours...with minimal springing, and your tailbone taking it all because you're in the Barcalounger position...if that's your thing, who are any of us to say otherwise?

What subject was that? I don't believe that anyone had mentioned loud pipes before you brought it up in your post. Which you then used as a springboard to hurl other insults. I don't recall other topics getting you so riled up. I definitely realize that loud pipes get under your skin (and I can honestly understand why). But please lighten up a bit.
The subject was Harley riders.

What is objectionable about them? Chrome? Leather?



Cruiserface? The hard scowl, the I'mma-BAAD-dood posture? Closer...but easily ignored.

What, then?

Why do you suppose they ticket cagers who have missing mufflers?

My comments above should pretty much cover it.
