Thread: my comment on stunters....

Got a guy in my Guard unit that rides a Ninja. He lives in Sacramento area and those "Rough Rider" idiots keep trying to recruit him. I'm trying to keep him on the this side of the fence but the Force is strong with the "Rough Riders".

the funny thing w/ stunters is that they don't effect me. Some of ya'll get yer panties in a bunch about 'em. They're a non issue up here. I can appricate a good wheelie or two, who can't?! They're great. Just don't do it in traffic. Jimmie and a couple old timers can remember that back in the day, it was the harley rider who ruled the street, the ones riding on the fringe of society, riding crazy causin trouble. Now, its the same guys, but their kids are riding jap bikes and doing wheelies!

As for the cages...its pretty ingenious, no more cracked cases.

Oh well.

I just blow by em w/ my knee on the deck in the corners...

Pretty much a non-issue here in Sonoma County too. I think they are more prevalent in larger metropolitan areas, like the immediate Bay Area and Sacramento. Regardless, imo, they're as bad an image for motorcycling as the 1%'ers, but I doubt they'll get my panties in a bunch. It's hard to bunch up a thong...

Speaking of 1%'ers...my uncle is a true Eighty-one in the Sac chapter, been for 15 years or so. Nicest guy you'll know...oh and I'm family, so If i'm riding w/ him and he's flying his colors (which he must if he's on two wheels) i'm safe. He rides w/ the Devils Horsemen, affiliates of eighty-one. He told me its where HA goes to retire. I laughed. Get this, he used to run the security for the Redwood run until about 5 years ago, he told us "Charles, i'm too old to be baby sitting dumb motherfuckers who just wanna do drugs and sit there like bumps on logs." Surprised me, coming from a clean and always sober 1%'er.

Yep, I'm with you Jimmie- I do feel like we are ambassadors...I have run people off that I feel don't have respect for others and refuse to ride with some after riding with them once.

don't get me wrong, I pass on double yellows, but I do not harrass drivers that are in front of me like I have seen some people do. When I come up on drivers. I will make sure they see me and most of the time, I will signal when I am going to be "bad" and pass. Yes, I have been known to raise my saluting finger to those drivers that pass 12 turnouts while going along at a blazing 40mph in front of me and 15 cars, and I am sure all the other cage drivers behind me appreciate that familiar gesture also. However, if I do pass on the double yellow, I always make sure that it would not endanger THE OTHER DRIVER or I don't do it. I rode with a guy that passed on BLIND turns one of my first times out on the FZ and FREAKED on him when we stopped to get some gas. :x There arne't a lot of things that truly annoy me, but acting like a punk while riding is one of them.

We don't want that kind of reputation or THEY all will start picking on US as a group. We don't want more laws, higher fines or them to confiscate our bikes if we go over 100MPH...As long as we remain relatively "harmless" to our fellow drivers, our own rights will be protected. 8)

STUPID FUCKING STUNTERS. Sorry, I know a couple of them and they are truly inconciderate idiots. Since I only know two and they are both that way, I suppose if I owned a car and the majority of sport bike riders passed me on blind turns and did wheelies right behind my car doing 60 mph, I might think we were a bunch of assholes too and I just might vote for a law that says they can't abuse me on the roads without severe penalty.



My life would be easier if I didn't always speak my mind....
