Default The ignorance of those who do not ride

I was at a restaurant last night and received a call from a associate that inquired how I was doing and then proceeded to mention to me that the forecast for the next day was rain. Since he was not a rider I took it that he did not know better and I didn't make an issue that he had irritated me with this information and that I thought he was just player hating. How do my fellow riders feel when a four wheeler brings this into a conversation?

There's some biker taboo against mentioning rain in a phone call??? Seriously, you're upset about this? Maybe he thought he'd let you know in case you hadn't heard. I don't really understand what the issue is or why you posted.

PS: We really need to get out of this biker vs. cager mentality.Unless you ride your bike, 24/7 and 364, you're a cager sometimes too.

Wow I guess if I want to be a "real biker" I've gotta quit letting people talk to me about the weather. I'll have to add this one to my files.

If it wasn't for the "Geeez it's gonna rain (snow, sleet whatever) again" subject. No one would ever communicate. Take it easy dude. The weather is a subject we can all relate to even if your not a motorcycle owner. Now if the Fkr said right after "its' gonna rain" - I guess you are gonna get wet on your scooter then he started laughing hysterically and then repeated it with a louder voice so everyone in the restuarant can hear it. Then I would sayyou have a right to be ticked off.

It wouldn't have bothered me at all.Getting caught in the rain is not even an issue.Knowing it is going to rain is still not an issue.

Why answer a call while in a restaurant in first place? Unless you're waiting on the organ transplant, that call can wait until after you have eaten. And had you not taken the call, then you wouldn't have any reason to be upset. Just my 2 cents.
