Well, as many of you know, I'm riding a crotch rocket right now and have been for the past 15 years.
However, except for a few racing buddies, all of my friends ride cruisers.
Although I ride a crotch rocket, I don't like that crowd. Immature punks that just do stupid **** just like that. My guess is he wasn't doing anything more then being an idiot. My guess is he was saying something like this inside his helmet.....
"hup, hup, hup, oh boy oh boy oh boy, gideeup gideeup gideeup there Harley man, hup hup hup, oh boy oh boy oh boy"
Then he sped off and crashed 5 miles later because his 3 months of total riding experience couldn't keep up with his inflated 12 year old mentality.
For the most part, rice rocket riders are pure idiots and deserve to be slapped
Except me of course

Harley envy. It has been my experience that for whatever reason Jap bike riders always feel they have something to prove to Harley riders. They're just jealous cause deep down they know Harleys are the big boy on the bike and their little plastic rice burner is crap.
Fortunately I know more about bikes now.And for the record I think most jap cruiser guys have Harley envy, but not the sportbike guys. They couldn't care less about Harleys. I have a couple of sportbike riding buddies so I know where they stand. Doesn't stop me from enjoying my bike though.

I know good one and bad ones on the sport bikes, so they are not all idiots. I had a conversation with a few at a rest stop one day after they passed me well over the speed of sound and these particular guys were probably under 25 yrs old.
They really didn't seem to have much or any respect for me as an older rider and didn't have much experience between them either! One of them had been down several times and worried only about how much the parts were to put his bike back together and had that I won't bleed attitude.
Their interest in what I was riding was, how fast will that thing go, can you pull the front wheel off the ground, how much smoke will the big ole rear tire make and just how old are you??!
I told them I was old enough to be there father and if I was to catch them doin the crap they had been doing down a busy 4 lane that their a$$ wouldn't sit well in that seat when I was done with them! They laughed just laughed it off!
I guess that there are those guys that may have never been taught what its all about and the dangers that can permanently disable you for the rest of your life because you had to have your front wheel off the ground in traffic or felt you had to weave through traffic at a high rate of speed.
A state cop was checking my bike out at a rest area one time when 5 sport bikes went cranking past us on the interstate. I asked him why he didn't go after them and he said "somehere down the road we will eventually scrape them up off the road!"

Had 4 Murder Cycles go roaring past my place this afternoon. Heard them come off the main road and blast around the corners. Not really a good idea as we still have guys on this road with loose cows etc. Lots of kids on both ends and usually on the road and that is not mentioning the wildlife probably more deer on this mountain than the rest of the whole Island put together. They blasted past my place and I was thinking I really hope they know it is a dead end unless you make the turn onto the other road. A second later the squealling tires confirmed their inadequate information on this road. Then a crash. Have to talk to my buddy at the end of the road later and see what happened. More than a few vehicles off the embankment and into the trees at either end here. Cheryl Crow first though...

I once thought I was king of the road too. Then I made the mistake of challenging a friend with a 600cc rice burner... The story is on here somewhere if you want some funny read. Fortunately I know more about bikes now.

I wander if these guys really have an idea about how dangerous this sport (or hobby) can be. I honestly think they are living a video game.

I would like have had them visit the hospital with me to see a 21 yr old guy miising a leg, the other leg pretty much useless along with one arm. He decided to pull the front wheel up and hit a car head on...maybe showing off or maybe just being stupid! He had no idea what was about to happen and the consequences he would suffer! Life changing to say the least!

The other day I am headed home, I live 4 blocks from the traffic light, and about a 10th of a mile just inside the town limits.
Theres a nut on a crotch rocket riding on his back wheel as I come around the curve, and when he sees me he drops back down and starts weaving back and forth across the road in front of me.
Im in my truck and have to slam on brakes to keep from hitting him.
I hate the way these guys ride, when they are at the traffic light they have to romp on the throttle and I just plain hate crotch rockets!!
