Sounds like the Seinfeld episode where George gets a scooter and tangles with the senior citizen scooter gang

You should have went right to the front of the pack and stayed there just to pizz them off.
Unless, of course, they intimidated you.

I'll ride with most any bike, but riding with a bunch of dipsh!ts on scooters is where I draw the line.

HARLEYS ARE THE BEST AND I"M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT! FTW!

No sure, but it seems someone posts here about something other than a Harley and they usually get ripped to shreds, maybe a little comeback ?

i can see where people interested in scooters would object to the noise of a harley - as far as making fun of the HD? no need to defend a harley, it is what it is...

I don't care what anyone else is riding - if its a good time for me (ie; not shifting or stopping in heavy traffic at the moment) I'll wave or nod at anyone else out there as a member of the "two wheel community" ... they get squashed just as quickly as harley riders if cars aren't paying attention so they've got as much membership as anyone

You got that right, man. Harley riders are the worst. They love to talk crap about anything on two wheels that aint a Harley.

That's what I was thinking LOL! I do not even wave at scooter as I do not see them as real bikes and do not see a point for them on the road. i do wave a all metric bikes and evern super moto bikes, but not scotters. I would not have even went on that ride. Don't sweat it man, just enjoy your real bike and let them have the old lady toys.

You got bullied by a bunch of old goats on scoots and you came crying here?

Man Up, little girl

I used to ride a Burgman 650 Executive (a wanna-be crotch rocket without a clutch)... then I got proper treatment and now I have a Road King parked in the stable. Some Burger riders can be even more snotty and stuck-up than any Harley rider, but that's like your neighbor trying to justify why he he has a small johnson and believes that's just fine!!! I've ridden with the scooter crowds around here and I'll take a group of Harley's any day. As for metric cruisers. Some are nice rides and many suck, but that's another thread...
