Harley's are agricultural vehicles ridden by the elderly, Fourtracks are faster & have more credibility.
Harley's are ridden by those who wear clean, designer jeans, bandanna's to cover the bald spot & drive Volvo's the rest of the week.
I have ridden bikes all my life & not just at weekends, I don't dress up to ride my bikes & I don't ride to make up for the fact I'm over 40.
I also no longer watch Top Gear, like Radio 1 it's now aimed at kids.

Oh a real grown up biker! I am so impressed !

Road Runner,
I am impressed. Must be a bit cold not getting dressed up when riding a bike.
Don't knock other bikers for their choice of machinery.
There are enough car drivers who do that already.
I have just got a BMW boxer fetish, but do not deny owners of other marques ther choice.

I wasna fu but just had plenty.

I presume over in the Phillipines our far east correspondent is cracking another cold one , some cool jazz playing in the background and treating Road Runners post with the contempt it deserves.....
I hope that RR's post was tongue in cheek. It is the cameraderie of motorbikers of all ages and whatever bike they ride that sets them apart from the cagers .
No stereotypes please.
|
the cagers .No stereotypes please.
Ironic?
|
Not ironic at all -
Do you travel to work in the morning and you cannot remember a thing about the journey? Be honest
I consider that the majority of car drivers are trapped in their own little world , their cage , their little bubble of comfort and pay little heed to what goes on around them particularly on a journey that they do regularly..
Thats not a stereotype , thats a fact.
|
|
And I include myself as a cager when in a car , despite having ridden bikes for nearly 40 years - and not just at weekends but commuting and working in London.
|
|
I'd call myself a motorist, not a cager, but then I enjoy driving a car, luckily I don't have to commute. And to my mind there are too many bikers and not enough motorcyclists.

REAL motorcyclists - unlike roadrunner - understand that different styles of biking appeal to different people. There are those who are happy to cruise at moderate speeds, taking in the scenery and enjoying the pleasure of being on two wheels. Others get their kicks on trailies, either pootling on green lanes or doing some serious mud plugging.
More load up heavyweights and take themselves across continents, while others bike on a budget and still enjoy it. Many do all or some of the above. Dressing like Coco The Clown and scraping your knee slider on roundabouts on the latest XYZ Megablaster does not make you any more special than those who do not share your tastes.
Sneering at everyone else on two wheels just makes you a bit of a prat.

Or even anyone else?

Tom Shaw, I've got to say that I'm with you on this one.
I've just got back from a tour of Canada, and was surprised (probably out of naivety) that 95% of bikes being ridden were Harleys. I can see why though. Potentially great distances and no corners to speak of, and also (another generalisation coming up) nearly all of the traffic in the countryside seemed to be content to proceed at or about at the speed limit in a calm and very civilised manner. There is not a lot of need for a fireblade or state of the art bike if you are about to undertake a long journey on these roads at or about the legal speed limit.
Anyway, back to the origins of this thread. Would any of the back roomers be interested in partaking of the faster pastors services when the time comes? I'm not sure that I am that keen, although I wouldn't know anything about it!
Reggie
