Question:
Why is it over the past few years that riders (self proclaimed "bikers") feel a need to congregate at the local coffee shop after ridden a whopping 4 miles. They stand around outside and admire themselves. They will talk endlessley about the latest chrome thingy that they had installed. Their leathers have no bugs on them and they shine like a newborns baby bum. God forbid that a cloud might appear while they are sipping their cappucino. Run for home, gonna be a long four miles back to the garage, but they will have a new "war story" to brag about at the next charity run. To those riders out there that ride not to impress or boost your ego but ride to ride, well my hats off to you. Long gray haired biker.

And don't forget they only ride on the weekends or a quick little jaunt after work. I don't hang around with the likes of the people you described. You forgot about the part of their vests.they put a H.O.G. patch on look out man! I'm an outlaw.sure...They are everywhere riding everything with two wheels now. The new movie coming out called Wild Hawgs will only make it worse.Nobody waves anymore, stops to help, etc. And when they are riding around in their big pickups & SUV's don't forget about the H-D sticker.
There's plenty of wind and other roads to capture my freind.ride the road less travelled. FTW

This supports the theory that Harley riders are mostly about image, and really not about the pleasure of riding, or the quality of the machine itself.Why is it a problem if somebody drops a bike?
It used to be cool to ride,now it's all about the money.How much did you put into your new Nightster?That's all you hear now,the more money you fork out the cooler you are.The important things don't matter anymore,like heading out into the open road,wind hitting your face, really enjoying the ride and the scenery.Catching up with great friends in New Mexico and heading out to California with them.That's riding in your Harley-Davidson!Any engine swaps into a 2000 CBR F4 Frame?
If that's what they enjoy.I see no problem with it.They mind their business and I mind mine.They bought their bikes and i bought mine so whatever they decide to do with theirs has nothing to do with me.I don't look for reasons to complain about someone.Ref my 1991 rs aprilia 125, i have very little pick up from start. first gear just gets me away ,?
Does your Mother know you're on her computer again, I thought you were still grouded from last time.No doubt there's plenty of posing. It's a shame that they don't get out and enjoy the ride, but it's a free world. The only problem I have with most Harley riders is the extremely loud pipes. The sitting around and revving the engine endlessly makes all bikers seem like loud, inconsiderate jerks. It's only a few, and let's face it they're not riders.

The guys you are seeing are RUBS they are in no way bikers. I am a biker and proud of it. Personally I wish HD would have gone down the tubes in the '70s. Then we wouldn't have to put up with this BS. One of these days these types will find new toys though and there will be lots of bikes for the real bikers among us. BTW-cavebyrd, very well said.Is a naked bike similar to a sports bike?

sad,but all to true(NO,not everyone).The "lifestyle"crowd has unfortunately ruined the Harley name as far as i am concerned.I abandoned all things Harley and now quietly go about on my metrics.If they are having fun then that's just swell,I just never fit into the mainstream crowd and that's what Harley Disneyland has become.California high beams always on, okay?
we refer to that crowd as hell's dentists.most of us sport riders like the true bikers its the statis symbol bikers that annoy us
