What do you hate most?
I know what ya mean by the cagers. And there on the other hand are the ones that will just blow by ya at about 85 mph and not even think to slow down a little for ya. This morning it was raining like crazy when I got off work and I got about 32 miles to get home. So put on the leathers and head out. I had to stop and get gas and when I went inside, believe it or not, this guy ask me "Did ya ride your motorcycle this morning". Now, for the most part I hate people and the dumb ones just kill me. I really wanted to say something but I figured it would be a waste of time. Ok just one more. The people that know ya rode to work, now its raining at quitting time and the ask ya "Hey its raining, how ya getting home?", again just walk away.

I spent the last week off and on adjusting, checking, washing and waxing my bike to get ready for the 105th HD rally. I went to the local dealer yesterday to see Bubba Blackwell and to check out a new rain suit. I went into the store and bought the new rain suit and when I got to my bike it started raining so I put the rain suit in the saddle bags and took off down the highway to beat the rain. Needless to say I got about a mile down the road the bottom dropped out. Here I was doing 60mph down the highway didn't put on my rain suit and forgot to put on my glasses on so I could see anything for awhile.
I guess that proves I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed!

I hate the stupid looks I get as I am riding the bike in the rain from the cages. Also not a fan of them questions such as did you know it is raining? Are you getting wet? Etc.

The 'skunk' trail. (No front fender)
Especially when it is below 45*, like last night. (NO rain last night, just 'cool', REAL cool)
Trust me, I have perfected that 'cleaning' thing. Less than a 1/2 hour, beginning to end.
And yes, it gets washed 9 times for every 10 times out and about. It is either bugs, or oil, or rain, or oil, or dust, or oil, you git the jest.
About 3 yrs ago, I changed my strategy. If it is raining at the house, here, the scoot stays in the grudge, here. I am too old, and too smart,(?) 
to leave in the rain, anymore. Sorry, call me a Candy A$$ if you want. See "skunk trail"
