Friends or Enemies

I usually wave to the rice crowd and usually get a wave back but I want to know what other cruisers generally think of the sportbike crowd.

RE: Friends or Enemies

Considering the fact that I rode crotch rockets for 20 years, I'd say "friends."

RE: Friends or Enemies

I find them generally annoying and reckless but I would not say enemy. I'd have to go with neutral.

RE: Friends or Enemies

I don't really care one way or the other. If I see another bike regardless of type or make, I usually wave.

RE: Friends or Enemies

I guess I look at other makes/models like cars on the road - whether you drive a Ford 150 or a Toyota Rav or a VW - they are just machines. People make their selections for various reasons and factors - that is what makes this world go 'round and that is one of the priviledges of living in the USA - freedom of choice. I will not make decisions about the riders on other types of motorcycles since I do not know them individually and they have not done anything to me personally. And I am not capable of making a blanket comment about a group of people just because they ride a machine that is different than mine.
So - to answer the question - friends.

I couldn't care less what brand someone rides. Just that they enjoy the ride!

I am mostly neutral. Let the boys have their fun as long as they don't mess with anybody else. I have seen on several occasions a pack of ricers terrorizing slower cage drivers who, I assume, had invaded their favorite series of twisties.

RE: Friends or Enemies

That sounds like fun. Maybe I'll buy an SUV and go looking for them! I'd be like Charles Bronson in the Death Wish movies. And the govt. should love it...I'd be getting rid of "terrorists". Maybe we could even franchise it..."Bumper cars with Ricers in the Twisties."
BTW, I wave at everyone. I have met nice people and have friends who ride Jap and even (shudder) German, and sometimes come across a Harley A**hole. Art
