Isn't the point of owning a bike to be open and free, on the road and away from such childish things? Seriously. Sounds like a bunch of 13 year old girls gossiping at the local mall or something.

"OMG, like he totally is not wearing a helmet, how cliche."

"Like, I don't like leather, like when it's like too hot, ya know."

Maybe you could make riding a bike that one little area in your life where you don't have to analize, criticize, and judge what everyone else is doing?

Okay, rant over. Back to my Monday...
+1 to that!

I couldn't agree more. Way......to much concern for what other people wear, ride, or do.

I get hyper about people that seriously don't know how to ride well, and there's a lot of them in here. Misinformation could cost someone so I tend to chime in.

I also really don't like "you owe me" types. 3 patches and the like. (Showing how much of an individual you are by joining a group. Classic)

What jacket you have on, HOG member or not, wave or not, trailering, all that's just drivel. Else, I think there's a lot of good info on here. Some of these guys know azzpiles about these machines and how to keep them running well.

Hey Snoop, that's why a lot of the time I make lame attempts at humor.
I just ride my bike & wear WTF I want and don't care what anyone else is doin'.

Also. I won't touch any more politically charged posts, due to I've been kicked off a couple forums lately....bunch a mommas boys.

IMFUO, we are talking 'bout a 'control issue', NOT 'OCD'.
I'd have to say, I have OCD. Jus' look at the scoots. You NEVER see them dirty, unless I jus' rolled in. Maybe that's what I was 'hiding' when I drank. Not sure.
BUT, I could give a rat's azz, what you ride, what you wear, or how you keep, what you ride, or what you wear.
Guess I feel there are bigger fish to fry. Think Myrtle Beach. Think EPA. Think unemployed.
BUT as always, jus' MFUO. That's all.

I don't have OCD, but I always call it CDO because it is more alphabetical that way...
