yeah name calling i get a laugh out of it. reminds me of the days of elementary school when kids would try to insult without cuss words...
we share the same ridiculously retarded Missouri weather

6 Things Nobody Tells You About Owning a Motorcycle | Cracked.com

"2) If you do manage to see an oncoming bike with enough time to get an appropriate wave up, you better make sure it isn't a scooter. Unwritten bike rules make it a crime punishable by exile or death to wave at a scooter. And damn if it isn't hard to tell when you two are approaching each other at a combined 100 mph. If you do catch yourself mid-wave to a Vespa, however, it is acceptable to slowly turn it into an upraised middle finger. It's like the handshake-psyche of the two-wheeled world, and the look of dejection on their face will redeem any momentary awkwardness."

That is an awesome article. Can't believe I've never seen that.

Me too... Scooter, bicycle, harley, sport bike, I don't care. They're on two wheels they're cool enough for me.
