Thats the thing if youre going to ride like a complete asshat its a lot easier to do so on a sport bike vs a harley thats usualy a lot heavier and under powered compared to a sportbike

Just the sort of responses I was going for... I was kidding. ;)

Though, the maintenance point is a good one... Most HD's are much better maintained the the average sportbike...

I knew I would eventualyly make a good point :lol:

Only took 2 years and 9 months...

Harley equivalent of squid is definitely the poser noob.

It's the guys that take a MSF class and talk a big game about riding for 15-20 years and then fail to do the simplest tasks in the course. Some even ride across the country and have no basic skill to pilot a motorcycle. They always are dressed in head to toe HD gear and are always griping if a state has a helmet law. Education in any form is wasted on them. If it wasn't for flat interstate, they would be in serious trouble. Then they come to Deals Gap and go 5 mph and definitely will not use pulloffs.

I saw an awesome example two weeks ago when I was renewing my carry permit at the DMV. He was arguing with the DMV lady for failing his practical and screaming about how he had been riding for 17 years.

The same could be said for any sport bike "bike night" too....there will ALWAYS be douchebags standing around with their 1000cc RR's talking about how they rail....with rusty chains and squared off rear tires. Bikes that have OBVIOUSLY never been ridden in a competent manner...but they sure look cool standing there!!

I'm not convinced that douche-baggery is limited to a particular make and model of motorcycle, to be honest.

Uh, that's why I said the HD equivalent for Squid...

There is no real particular word for HD equivalent, but they have them as I described them. South Park wanted to use fag and I am inclined to use that word for them too. LOL

There's a couple that have a stretched Gixxer 750... They take turns a couple times a week riding for about 5 minutes at a time. Pull out of the neighborhood... are gone for literally 5 minutes... then come back. Sometimes they switch immediately and do that once or twice, then again the next day. They have SERIOUS issues navigating the simple turn into and out of the allotment. I guess they could be just trying to practice, but no gear, shorts and wife beaters... always have cool sunglasses on.

In all fairness though, a full up HD touring rig is not the best thing to be taking your test on... and frankly, those tests are bullshit anyway. All lowspeed manuvering... I'm a competent rider and I SUCK at the low speed stuff.

yeah but youre in fla, you dont have any turns down there :lol:
