I too thought is was kinda funny...

 

Ok, maybe it's kinda funny how it went down.... but I don't get the whole "rice burner" thing.

Do harley riders really think it's a cut to call our bikes "rice burners"? Do they think it's a funny joke?
I know they laugh at each other when they say it, so it must be funny to them.

To me, it's like saying that a harley is a cheeseburger burner.... lol..
Or a baked potato burner? Will that catch on in the sportbike crowd? (I sure as hell hope not. It's just not funny)

I dunno..... maybe I'll just never understand the HD psyche. It's too complex for me.

 

To get him back for the "rice" under your bike. you could of poured some oil under his. But, I am sure there was some already dripping from his....

 

i went to the bikers for babies/march of dimes ride here in KC last weekend. there were over 6000 bikes out there. i got asked in the past to do it. but never wanted to due to the fact most of the bikes out there are harleys, choppers, etc..... but i do have to say more guys on sportbikes were out there at the kansas speedway last weekend than i thought. in the past guys on sportbikes have been ran off the road and so on. well my buddy and i decided to do it. we had a couple of other guys with us. they were on cruisers. we didn't have any problems. now that might be due to the fact that it was a charity event to raise money for the march of dimes. but i guess it depends on the guy that is on the bike. its half and half on the waves and head nods. sometimes i just want to ask the wtf? its whatever. they can keep there over vibrating, looks like its going to fall into pieces, underpowered pos. i will stick with my sportbike any day.

 

Were there any streetfighter lads present? They have equal amounts of attitude, dont like hd's but are definitely pro sports bike

 

a guy i work with was giving me a hard time about getting the CBR calling it an origin donor bike ect. he was just messing with me but really had the attitude that it was just a crap bike. he rides (rarely i might add) and 82 Harley something with huge ape hangers. the guys nice enough but this anti street bike mentalty is messed, up a bikes a bike. if its got two wheels i'm cool with it, even if its something i wouldn't want to ride.

Thats what im saying..... I never understood the rice burner thing. Guys at school call it a "ricer" and "rice burner" and all this other stuff and I just disagree with em not knowing what theyre talking about lol. Oh well, I just tell them its better than their dad's 1568 prehistoric cave man edition Potato masher lol. I get looks like "whaa?" and my responce is "just think about it." They still dont get it as I walk to class everyday. Ahhhhh inside jokes are the best.

 

small, sporty japanese vehicles (not just motorcycles) have always been called 'rice burners' -- it's indicative of the source of manufacture more than any other attribute. same reason italian bikes are called 'pasta rockets', etc.

and old thread is old.

 

lol Thread revival FTW!
