SteelRain 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Appearantly (from their side of the story) a bunch of guys on "dirtbikes with lights" passed a group of about 50 HD riders last weekend and "scared them"... so says the "road captain" I laughed really hard after I walked back to my desk, who was it? It was not me.... this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted March 31, 2011 Bikepackers? Not SDAR? We're not "scary"... If it was me, I waved when I passed them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRain 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Bikepackers? Not SDAR? We're not "scary"... If it was me, I waved when I passed them I figured that much but I gotta hope I know who it was I know the guy behind me on 15 yesterday has a skidmark in his shorts. Cruising along at about x5 when I spot a cop under a bridge in the shade with his door open aiming a radar down the lanes, I quickly shift left and roll off the throttle LONG before he has an angle, but the dumby behind me was daydreaming or something and went right by me at about 80... I waved to the cop and he waved back then took off after the other rider. turns out the other rider is at my complex (I do not know him, but I saw his bike....total beater, easy to spot.

I am posting this in jest, and because Friday is always "bash harley" day... 65 will blow the doors off the typical rolling roadblock... As long as I'm on a roll- v twin with straight pipes in Alpine Wed night- idling for 10 minutes outside the restaurant as he BSs with some guy- your bike is way rich, too loud, and needs a new rear tire...as I went to discuss the possibilty of shutting it down ( I could smell it inside), my wife made me sit down...does that make me a sissy?

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted March 31, 2011 Fixed, but keep in mind that if you are not travelling at x5 on the 15 that time of day you will be picking Prius bumper out of your backside. You've got to watch out for those "green" vehicles. I was doing 60 mph (the posted speed limit) down Scripps Poway Parkway this morning and a Honda Insight passed me like I was standing still. I was so ashamed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted March 31, 2011 I'd like to say it was me, but lately I've been passing rather LARGE people on hayabusas on my dirtbike with lights...Scary that anyone can go out and buy a superbike like that with a regular m1 license... An especially scary/funny moment for me was just yesterday, I was sitting at a stopped light, a guy on a harley was in front of me, and a guy on an obviously brand new S1000RR BMW (Still had paper plates) split lanes wobbling all over the place. He made it through without hitting a car miraculously, but when the light turned green, he left his feet down, skimming in the ground (In nikes, no less) untill he had to shift into 2nd. Scary to think someone with no skill is out there on a 200 rwhp bike...I just hope he doesn't drift wide on that tight inside turn he underestimates and comes into my lane....which happens regularly to me for some reason on campo/94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 898 Posted March 31, 2011 I passed a group of HD riders wearing colors on I-8 when I was test riding my Suzuki Burgman scooter after I rebuilt the motor....gotta say I had a big grin on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Tom, did the pirates wave at you on your scooter? Pretty funny when they start to wave, notice you're on a scooter, then try and take it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbob 0 Posted April 1, 2011 A word I learned at Daytona. Girl Scouts. As in, wow, that's a lot of flair you have on your vest, you must be a girl scout! I don't encourage anyone to make this observation if they are outmanned, but its still funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spyder 2 Posted April 1, 2011 This was from a different riding group and happened earlier this year. Maybe "someone" will chime in who was there to witness this.... Of course Edited version. """"On a totally different subject, "so and so" wants to alert all of us local BMW riders to be very careful when near any goups of Harley Riders. He says that at the last Tuesday BMWOCSD meeting at Giovanni's, a group of surely Harley guys marched in uninvited and took over the lectern, warning the assemblage that there will be "serious consequences" if the BMW riders continue to disrupt their group rides, which the Hogs consider their "sovereign territory". He says the following about all this: "Something kind of funny happen in last night BMW meeting. This group show up unannounced and asking our riders not to cut into their formation-ride (group ride). Telling us cutting into their formation is like invasion of their sovereignty and scaring their new riders. It was quite amusing to most of our members, but for these guys they are very serious. There is another guy not in the picture, the bald-head introduced him as DR. something. DR Harley give us a speech about how not to ride in and out of their group and their safety concerns of their riders. After that the bald-headed guy kind of threating us by saying there will be consequence if it happen again, since we had been warned. Since we all ride BMWs, I want you guys to know about it." Attached is a photo of the disruptive Hogs at last Tuesday's BMW meeting. It must have been a real sight to see this large group of BMWOGSD members rendered speechless by these ill dressed, bushy Hogs! """ Have fun out there!

SteelRain 0 Posted April 1, 2011 That is nearly word for word what I was told happened! They failed to tell me it was a BMW Owners Club meeting.... LOL I would love to see the pic so I could tell you is the guys from my office complex are in it! It was also pointed out to me that the bikes were "like yours" when I spoke to one of them this afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude; you pee your pants, ride a paint shaker, and have ED... WTF are you so happy about? The only reason I can guess is the actress sitting on the P pad is at least half the guys age. Notice how all the ED diaper wearers have HOT wives? I am pretty sure that models are not interested in guys with ED and AARP cards (except maybe Anna Nicole Smith).

TrollingForFish 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Hey, hey, whats with the VTwin bashing? I ride a big VTwin. Not a HD (I would never pay 20 grand for a five thousand dollar motorcycle with a 15 thousand dollar name). But cruising with a group of friends is as fun as riding in the dirt. And sorry but I would never try to ride my 650 from SD to Vegas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
