Default How often do cagers . . .

How often do cagers roll up thier window when you stop next to them at a traffic light. Even with quite baffels in my rienhardts and my tunes turned down to mid level I often see them roll em up as soon as I pull along side. Don't hear the locks click so they're not tryn to protect thier wives and daughters from the big bad biker (actually old guy on a dresser) so what gives. Startin to be fun though, kinda like settin off car alarms.

I see kids waving and saying hi.......then the cars starts to pull up further so the kid has a harder time waving!!! I like to give a quick throttle and watch the driver jump and pee alittle in their pants

When I am in my cage and a harley pulls up, I roll my window down if it is up just to listen to that beautiful music...

I`ve pulled up along side a cager a few times, waiting at the light . I`ve looked over at them and they have rolled up there window and locked the doors. I think its pretty funny , or maybe I`m just that ugly ?

I never noticed. Usually I notice people checking out my bike and the kids waving. That's about it. Now I'll have to watch for that.

I always see people give me that "distasteful" look.

Haven't been looking at other people when on my bike though, really, at a redlight. I look around, remember each cars position, check for cell phones, but don't really pay attention.

My bikes a bit louder than some though. I try not to sit there and crack the throttle give people a big yellow toothed grin. Gives us a bad image. (although you're right - the kids would eat it up!)

I usually roll mine down, I want to hear it. I do roll it up when I have a cigarette though, I might forget & flick my ash out the window.

Trust me on this one, I've seen Millzog, and he's one ugly son-of-a-bi%ch. As for me, they usually roll the window up if their yaking on their GODDAMN cell phones. Of course, I'm no Brad Pitt myself.
