I would consider a safe scooter rider more of a brother or sister than I would a squid sportbike rider that rides like crap and gives the rest of us a bad name.
Idk, I see the squids as misguided brothers, everyone has the person in their family that's a messup

I really hate seeing the guys out in their shorts and a tanktop with just a lid and gloves on. I can't really imagine what's on going on in their minds[&:].

It's one thing to be a new rider and to be misguided and not taught whats right/wrong when it comes to riding and it's another thing to be ignorant.

Just because a person is up on two doesn't make him/her part of my family.

Ok since we are kinda on this subject I have to bring something up that im sure has been mentioned before, but not by me. I see way more ****** on Goldwings with tshirts shorts and no helmet than i have ever seen on sportbikes. I guess they think since they're on a big monster they are safer somehow than other riders. Same thing goes for Harley riders. My two cents...

Gloves are cool and they are riding within the limit of the law. Are you wearing full gear from head to toe?

I was thinkin about this ALL day today then on my way home. Someone on a trike waved at me. I saw them comming and was wondering WWCBRFD? (What would CBR Forum Do) I thought no way in hell would a biker wave to a trike so i was determined not to even look at them so I wouldnt be put in the situation. About 15ft from me they both threw out their hands. I didn't knwo what to do so I just stared at them the whole time. Then did a double take once they passed me. I feel bad about it now though. I came off as a total ******* I bet.

Waving is kind of unpredictable around here. I wave at a lot of people, and some will return it, but some won't. I don't really care either way. The part that has bothered me recently is that I have been getting the cold shoulder from a lot of sport bikers. What is up with that?
