I first got into riding motorcycles by going flat-out down a rural roadon a dirt bike in shorts when I was a punk kid. Had a few wrecks then, had a few since. All this talk recently about safety and mounting KC DAYLIGHTERS TO HANDLEBARS, kevlar suits, flashing this and blinking that, mushroom headed helmets...etc..
Everyone is entitled to do what you want, its a free country and us veterans keep it that way, BUT!!!!!! What I want to know is, does anybody raise hell on their scoot anymore?
I know I love to "Ride it like its someone elses" or "Ride it like a rental" or "Ride it like I stole it" etc..
I ain't talkin about trying to tear your scoot up, but just ridin hard and takin a few chances every now and then..
Not polishing it up and doing 8 millions miles with your neighborhood "Chapter" Or ridin to the GOSH DAMN ICE CREAM SHOP (freedom see above)
I am talking about bar hopping, lane splittin, tryin to impress the split-tails, t-shirtonly hot as hell out,andcold as *uck racing down the road??
Well whatcha got?? Somebody please renew my faith that not everyone is MR/MRS SAFETY MSF WALKIN BULLETPROOFNESS...Its Friday lets hear some good ole' fashioned hell-raising stories..
Ok ...just a quick story about some fun but not so fun ending....Last spring her in Boise, my friend had just gotten a brand new R6 and I was on my V-Rod. We were playing around in traffic and jumping light to light just having fun. He splits these two cars and keeps cruising so i in turn split them and pass him. This goes on for about 5-6 miles in downtown traffic just splitting lanes and haulin ***. After a while we arrive at the bar we were headed to. We pull into the parking lot and as we are getting off our bikes a un marked LEO pulls in behind us. He gets out of his car and says "looks like you guys are having alot of fun today." We shook our heads in aggreement. Then he says, "sorry to do this to you and ruin your day but I got to write you up for something." Even though we got tickets he was cool enough to only right us up for failure to signal as we turned into the bar parking lot.
I paid the fine and have since learned my lesson.......no more playing on the V-Rod as it draws attention......now I will start playing around on my StreetGlide.......
Fla Glide, I know where you are coming from, riding hard was the way I came up. I'm not talkin about suicide ride, maybe its just not the same anymore, everyone seems to be **ssin out..

Hi Wildcat68, admire your spirit and understand where you are coming from. I've been raising hell for 51 years. It's cost me a lot in some ways and I've gained a lot in others and certainly have no regrets. I sold my last sportsbike a year ago and decided to buy a Harley just before Christmas as my reactions just ain't what they used to be. I believe that we all live in a free world and the only thing we should have as humans is respect for one another. Yes and I ride the Harley like a **** sometimes!
