The girl and I took a couple of good rides yesterday, enjoying the almost 80 degree weather. Beautiful day, the new Fat Boy runs like a champ. The girl really likes the riding position compared to the old sporty, and loves the ride quality.
On to the stupidity.
Saw a guy on a sportbike, on the interstate, riding a wheelie! Are you serious??
Saw a guy, on what appeared to be a Dyna model of some sort. I only saw him from behind. He could barely control the bike, which I why I stayed behind him. All over the road, couldn't maintain lane position. When he would go to stop he drug his boots for at least 100 ft before the stop, and another hundred feet after he got started again. Make matters worse, he was carrying a passenger.
Saw a group of sportbike riders that gave the saying "ride it like you stole it" a whole new meaning. In a changing 45-55 mph zone, they have to be doing 100+.

Had a new one yesterday. I'm cruising into work and the car in front of me is doing the classic speed up, slow down, weave left and right. As I pass the guy I notice he has a halo on and is talking on the cell phone
. I couldn't believe A. he was driving with a halo B. he was talking on the phone while doing it. I also wondered how stoned he might have been on pain meds. Some people simply amaze me.
For those of you wondering what a halo is, no it's not what an angel wears.

Whoever said there was nothing wrong with the guy who had the noose hanging from his bike, your either an idiot or a racist. I'm in the military and we have had this problem pretty consistantly over the past couple of years. Somebody leaves a noose hanging from our sqaudron sign or something like that.
I used to ride sportbikes, it's fun as hell, and doing wheelies and running fast is what they are about. As long as you are the only person you are putting in danger, then nobody should have any problem with it, I mean bikers are all supposed to be about freedom and nobody telling them what to do or how to live their lives right? Thats the reason we go over to the desert for you guys six months out of the year isn't it? (More for the Army) I love riding my Harley, but I loved riding my CBR too. It was the closest I've ever come to flying, and I fly Cessnas too. actually closer than flying a Cessna!
One of the stupid things I have seen while riding was always on my sportbike. Almost without fail, if I was at a red light, and ANY kind of sportcar was beside me, his engine would start revving. Are you stupid?? There is hardly ANYTHING on the street, modded or otherwise that could beet a 1000 CC sprotbike in a quarter mile or more.

Ever see the movie Idiocracy?
There is a great scene in the begining showing how the intelligent couples are having few (if any) kids and the "Morons" are having tons of babies. We are in trouble in a hundred years

Impeding the flow of traffic is also a ticket offense in Saskatchewan, although that is less of a concern because it is mainly prairie, the land of cruise control, and lots of highway to cover at high speeds. Most speed-related tickets are, of course, for going over the max posted speed.
