Why do large groups of Harley riders get upset when you overtake them? I have always kind of wondered this myself. When you have to pass a large group of these slow riders it is best for to speed up in order to not be out in the left lane, on a two lane road, for extended periods of time and it seems like no matter what these ***-less chap wearers always get their panties in a bunch. I have had these neanderthals throw crap at me, flip me off, and a few swere their bikes in my directions. Fu(k'em, they usually get a handful of steel ball bearings in return. You throw stuff at me when I am wearing all my gear, it was your option not to put proper protective appearel on so quit crying when a ball bearings hits you in the forehead.

Hmm...too lazy to write my comments...
Architect...if you threw ball bearings at me, you would end up in alot more pain than me. Why you would throw ball bearings at other motorcycle riders (if you ride) is beyond me.

I don't think painting an entire group with a broad brush and believing you're providing an accurate picture simply indicate your bias. Pick any group and you will find morons among them.
For example, among new posters, there are a select few morons who come in and attempt to display their knowledge of how every single person who owns a Harley is, while comparing them to some more favorable group, such as sport bike riders, who have no morons among them.

I have seen "sport bike" riders come through town riding a wheely and you want to complain about how loud pipes are. I have seen someone sitting at an intersection not paying attention until I goosed my throttle a little then their head whips around and looks at me. Would they have pulled out in front of me who knows. Can you prove they don't save lives. I do beleive you are jealous of something you are afraid to get your self.
