I hope that everyone enjoyed a wonderdul Labor Day, unfortunatley I did notand I just need to vent [:@]. . . I went to my wife's friends pinic. I didn't bring my bike, because I knew I was going to do a little more drinking than usual (drinking and riding do not mix). I did however, wear my HD shirt and hat (damn proud that I ride a Harley). I should mention that I assumed that nobody at this party rides except me (so I should have known that some people would say stupid things). Anyways, I grab a beer and some ribs and sit down at picnic table next to some people that I didn't know. Well one of these "preppie" guys asked me if I ride, and I replied "yes" then the usual question, "what do you ride?" I told him a Harley Fatboy . . .his next response blew me away! He then asked me if I was a real biker, because if I wasn't, I would pi$$ off real bikers because of the way I dressed. I didn't know what to say, other than asking him how many "real bikers" does he know. Needless to say I got up and left the table. This yuppie a$$hole really got to me and I don't know why!!! I know that I need to be more mature and ignore people like this . . . by the way, what is a real biker??and Just for the record, I have been riding bikes for nearly 20 years! I am 6' 4" and nearly 300lbs and a former college football playerand bouncer.
I would have just looked at him, shook my head, chuckeled and walked away. He's a rude a-hole. I'd rather run into rude a-holes at cookouts than at 80 on the highway.
Fatboy, I think ya did the right thing, bro.
Sticking his face in the potato salad and cleaning his clock would be a gut response, but he ain't worth yer time.
Now grabbin' his ol' ladies *** and takin' his plate would be funnier than hell!
Then, of course, ya gotta ask him, "Hmm. Real biker? Whattaya think?"
Seriously, be nice to stupid people. They have enough problems already.
