Getting set to ride eight hundred miles, solo, through a lot of places I've yet to see, but I'm not gonna sweat some rumor about bike jackers. I've been in situations on the road to nowhere a few times, but I still ride where and when I want.
I'm no bad ***, but I am free and un-afraid, untill I get skeered.
Well $hit, last year I rode from Seattle WA to Lebanon PA and EVERYONE was friendly to me!!! Time for a change in behavior I guess... damn it!
Also, I've heard this rumor before a few years ago only it went like this: Say you're solo and you're riding and two guys in a pick up truck drive up next to you pointing at the rear of your bike like there's a problem so you pull over to check it out "BLAMMO"... you get jacked!!!
Rumor control needs to bare proof with their assertions. Just sayin...
Heck, some chicks ride too. Maybe you gotta watch couples as well.
While you're at it, sometimes cops pose as bikers, try to sell you drugs, and the next thing you know, they are confiscating your stuff.
I was at the dealership the other day, and I saw the mechanic riding around on someone else's bike. Sure you need to leave it a week? Might be the reverse chrome exchange. You know, they don't warranty that stuff. Sell you a new bike, then take your tins and your chrome, and say sorry, can't help you.
While you're at it, you might want to smell your oil.
I heard that some people got their bikes ripped off from the house while they were asleep. Maybe you should get a 12 pack of red bull and some diet pills.
I bet its BearNVa and his friends doing this chit..
No doubt...you have to watch those fudgepackers...they will steal anything....I hear you wake up with a taser burn and your bike is gone and your *** hurts.
