Just thought I'd throw this out there...

My buddy was having some issues with his 636 the other day alongside the road when a random Harley dude pulled over to see if he needed help. My buddy really did need a hand, and the random guy rode his Harley back to his house.... got his pickup truck and ramps.... and gave my buddy and his 636 a lift home.

 

Wow that's cool!! I've actually had more "bad" experiences with other sportbike riders. At my school there was a guy who rode a ninja and the first couple of times he wouldn't even nod when I'd see him in the parking lot. Then at my last job, one night three of us (sportbike) riders got out at the same time and were in the parking lot warming up our bikes and standing around talking. And then a guy from the next shift pulls in gets off his bike and walks right past us as if he had no idea were two feet away from him. He always did this and I didn't get it. I cried myself to sleep that night
lol

 

Naahhh, they cant catch up, Too much speed and mobility in this here "Plastic Toy Bike"

 

thanks for the balance there, trout. there's all kinds on every kind of bike. if i'm honest about it, there are a whole bunch of ****** on sportbikes that i wouldn't ride with either.

my last run up the parkway, i ran into a couple of cruiser guys that made me feel like we'd been friends forever. spent the day with them, hung out at their buddy's place, swapped numbers, hope to see them again soon.

 

Yep, all depends on the person.

Although I should really keep a tally of how many waves I get on my CBR vs. Magna vs. KLR.
If I had to guess, I'd say I get the least on the KLR and then about equal on the other two.
Apparently I don't look cool enough on my KLR for anyone to want to wave at me.

 

Well Enduros almost NEVER look cool. But they're usually the most fun

 

fact..there are some punks around my side of town that show no respect to anyone , and two of them ride slick cbr's...nowonder i get ****ty looks from peeps in the area.. ive got a freind with a big Harley road king, and this buddy will help anyone who needs it, even helpin the new riders fix their bikes... i guess its not the wheels they ride , its the toods they sport.....

 

Oh yeah... popping over parking lot curbs, taking dirt shortcuts, and blasting up fire roads is always fun.

Back on the Harley topic, tho.
One of the idiot HD guys I work with decided it would be funny to put a pile of rice under my bike and then come to me at lunch and say "Yer bike must be leakin' somethin'."
Then the other Harley guys all gathered around the breakroom window to watch me go look at "the leak". LOL...
WTF? The only funny part was how stupid someone can be to do that. I don't even get it. I mean, yeah..... "rice burner".... I get that, but how is that funny?

Anyway, I decided that the best response was just to do a burnout on the pile of rice. It was kinda fun, but I couldn't help but feel like I was as bad as them for doing it.

 

Isn't it mandatory to own a pick up if you own a Harley....

 

it's kinda funny.
