Things I Hate While Riding;

- Those tires that blowout on 18 wheelers in front of you when riding at 80 MPH on the freeway!

- Idiots that ask if they can ride your bike, "Hell NO!"

- Other riders that try to stunt when they can barely keep it on two wheels!

- Cops that write speeding tickets! [:@]

Had this happen this morning... on a road I've been on before, but not for a while. Miles from anywhere and enjoying the ride -- then a new sign I haven't seen out here before... what's it say???

CAUTION! Fresh Oil and Loose Gravel

Holy Crap!!! Are there any two worse things than that on a bike? Only thing I could do was turn around and go back where I came from. I hate back-tracking.

I agree all of that. I dont know about the squids??? Dont see too many of those in MI. You do see a lot of pot hole, expecally in Flint area!! I cant stand that eather when Harley riders dont wave back, like there better than sport bike riders or something. I had a Harley rider the other week talking SH** at a stop light. He was reving it up, and saying that that is American horse power. **** nothing now a days, is completly made in the US. Anyways, the light turned green and he tried to race me and my CBR just walked away from him. It shouldnt matter what you ride, as long as you are out there enjoying yourself. I have some of my dad's friends that go out on rides with me, dont see any problem with that. Its all about personal prefrence. **** my first bike was a Katana(tuna can), SHHHH....Dont tell anyone. lol I also hate dumb *** cops that pull me over for having a pipe on my bike (D&D not the quietest) and wants to write me a ticket and harrass the **** out of me, when almost every night some drunk *** harley rider with open pipes is doin a drag race down my road wakes me up, and no cops to be seen. Great use of my tax money. I dont see him writing them guys loud exhast tickets.

Anyone else thinking of that bud light commercial?

I...hate...bikes that don't wave back, drivers high on crack, water spraying up on my back, and...and...SQUIDS!!
I...hate...lines painted on the roads, cops that act like choads, trucks with too big a load, and...and...SQUIDS!!!
AND I...HATE COPS TOO!!!! (well, not all of them, just the ones that hassle me)

1. Cell phones while driving should be made illegal.

2. People that bogart the left lane, then when they see you get in the right lane to pass they get over in front of you... They get the finger. Most of the times it's caused by #1

3. Dogs that run to the road to give chase and I think I'm going to hit them.

Not a thing I hate, but have to laugh when a cager pulls up and rev's it up trying to entice me to race. I just let'em go because they're not worth it.

I hate it when traffic is backed up for miles on the freeway and while splitting lanes someone decides to try and squeeze you.

HAHAHA this thread is great! I seen some of the things listed here that really annoyed me and made me feel like God stuck a special "Unlucky Tard" Sticker on me when I came off the production line.
For instance:
The bug in the helmet.
(Fat Nasty Spider came crawling across my face shield one day when riding. BLEH!) I check my helmet before I go out now though.

The Ciggarrete flickers.
I had some bonehead flick one once and had my visor 1/2 open and saw the cig hit the ground and it bounced up and hit me right on the mouth vent of my helmet. Made me pull over for fear the thing might have made it way inside, which luckily it didn't.

<some normal annoyances:>

Rude/stupid cager driving like they own the whole world.
( cutting you off, brainless cell phone drivers, I'd say idiot punk kids wanting to race you in thier ricers but I have to admit it's fun to humble them occasionally, It just gets annoying after you have so many wanting to race, it's like why bother? They are just going to lose. Old Farts doing like 5 MPH on twisties, people spitting out thier car windows on the freeway etc.)

Road Construction (Sand on corners, grooved pavement on what would normally be a fun road, stop and go traffic)

Bike snobs (People who down other peoples rides because in thier "Infinite wisdom" your bike just isn't cool/good enough to ride with, people who don't wave back<unless they are going into a corner etc than it's understandable>

Cops who see you riding, not speeding or anything, and decide to follow you for blocks and blocks on end. I mean FFS get a life...or a doughnut or something.

<Abnormal annoyance...Just one>
Falling Apples....yes I was hit by one and can we say new undies?


And Amen to some of HighRevvers listed items:
"-ones who feel that your bike is a toy and sit on it or put there kids on it "
I stopped off at a resturaunt once to run in and take a whiz one time and I couldn't have been in there for more than 2-3 mins max, when I come out some drunk idiot was sitting on my bike in the parking lot making motor sounds like he was hauling some virtual A$$ on MY bike. He no doubtedly was trying to impress his equally moronic friends. He just about fell off and nearly dumped my bike when I tapped him on the shoulder from behind wearing all my gear and said "Excuse me sir, your sitting in my seat...." and gave him a ice cold dirty "I feel like killing your dumba$$" look.

That and the dreaded "is that your bike" I loved your response...too funny. I think I'm gonna steal that and use it next time ROFLMAO
and the can I ride it questions....Ummm let me think about it for a second.....how about no.

+1 for the cigarette flickers

I supose the worst is my bike knowing some bikes have never been ridden in the rain and that mine ONLY has.

Mastic strips ( black Tar) had a major off on one of thoses a few years ago.

PEOPLE WHO HATE COPS (hate people who deserve it!)

The bug in the helmet.

Sneezing at high speed with the visor down

Speed bumps

i could go on but i'm feeling quite mellow this morning.


And YES i used to be a traffic cop, now i drive a desk at work
