Default I keep getting the hand gesture...

-Ya know, the one where someone puts their hand palm down and pushes to the ground, telling me to slow down

In my neighborhood i do 30 tops but my exhaust is loud and i guess it gets the "old folks" mad when i go by. i keep getting this one woman who stares at me and tells me to slow down...i guess is it just a stereotype that we are always going fast or what?

Im about to hop off my bike and be like, hey im doing the damn speedlimit, getoffme!


--There is also another one where people stick their hand out the window and want me to do a wheelie....i never do it though, they arent gonna pay for my bike when i loop it, lol

I get that sometimes too on my bike or on my car....when going slightly above the speed limit, and it happens only in the community I live. I usually open up the throttle on that.

Edit: And those pop up weelie wishers, would never get one from me, even if i was good at it.

i get this alot too .. next time do what you were thinking.. stop your bike , tell them that you were doing the speed limit and that its just your exhaust that sounds louder then it is... or you can always stop your bike and ask them "what did you say ! " and most ppl STFU and wont say anything back.. if its were you live probably better idea to keep it civil since you do have to live there... all else fails do a burnout on their driveway haha <---JOKE---}

that pushing the ground means they want you to compress your forks first, before you ride a wheelie past their house

hrm, never got either of those yet. well, maybe one on the wheelie. besides anyone who may be telling me to slow down is always just a blur on the side of the road. j/k.
