"Epic ride", pushing the limits of human physical endurance as well as the full capabilities of the bike, usually riding 5 miles or less if the ambient air temp is less than 60 degrees, it rains the last 1/2 mile of the ride, all while doing the posted speed limit in a residential and or school zone the whole way

Gotta say something about *cagers*. We all gripe about them but I'm guessing most of us end more time in a cage than on a bike.

HDForums: A place for people to bitch, whine, cry, ask questions, irritate, brag, yell, post pictures, purposefully **** people off, make friends, kill time while at work, ask more questions, sell ****, buy ****, trade ****, explain how to take a ****, compliment each other's bikes and post stupid threads just to see how people will respond.


I think that's what makes this place so much fun.

Bro it's a real bummer when you dump your righteous scoot while just out for a putt.
