Being a 28 year old (newbie) motorcycle rider, I would find that offending myself. I do believe you voiced your opinion respectfully in the context of the uniform/rank, but if the guy is as much of an a-hole as you say, I'm sure he'll find a way to try to retaliate. Hopefully he's mature and man enough not to.

 

Yep you fell for it hook line and sinker! I thought your only suppose to give your rank and serial number when getting squezeed for info.

 

Sounds like this guys knows everything about everyone. Yeah, I'm 34. Yeah, I own a sportbike. Regardless of the fact that I bought primarily to reduce the wear and tear on my car and reduce my fuel usage and as such my carbon footprint. On top of that, it is my right as a United States citizen. Something that you and all of the other armed forces of past and present have volunteered and summarily fight for anytime you are in the line of fire. You represent our rights. Just as he his right to have his own personal feelings and judgements based on twisted facts.

I'd say, try not to let him gode you. He's not worth the time an energy. Respect his rank and the uniform, but not him.

 

25? I got earwax that is 25 years old, I got diplomas that are 25 years old, I got a calculator that is 25 years old.

Next time one of you boys goes out riding, get your squad to lay down some cover fire to suppress those SUV driving soccer moms.

 

Shweeew. I'm only 22. I'm not an idiot yet.


Ya, an 18 year old is way better than a 30 year old. (I'm going by satistics, get off my back)

 

HOORAH KILLER!!![sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif]

 

Let's see, I'm gonna guess he's a Lieutenant Colonel (O-5), commanding in the 'rear with the gear'. And the correct term is 'brass iron *****', not kevlar. Clearly HARDCORP has enormous clangers! I love the line about the snickering LT. LOL

'Once a Marine, always a Marine' is why the term 'ex' is not used when referring to former or retired Marines--they even teach that practically from day one in boot camp. It's really an amazing feeling to have been there and hold the honor of the title for life. Completely because of people like Tim.

And 'soldiers' are only found in the Army.

 

nothing really needs to be addressed except for the fact of the statement... its ignorant to begin with... "all riders over the age of 25 are idiots." That's a really intelligent statement, i would have gave him the "did you really just say that?" look.

 

excellent job hardcorp. i couldnt have said it better. with that being said.......


im 25 until next June, so i guess i have another 7 months before im an idiot.

 

Maybe someone should point out that male drivers 16-21 have the highest fatality rate of any age group. Kind of makes the over 25 idiot thing seem pretty stupid. Also, how the frack are there more Marines killed on bikes than in combat?
