You have a choice with your words of being one who tries to bring us together as a community, or one who tries to separate us into opposing camps. I choose the former. Seems like some of you are intent on the latter. I cannot fathom why you would want to do this.
"You" may see it as disparaging, I only the other hand just see it as descriptive. Just as some might see the term "loudmouth" as disparaging, I only the other hand simply see it as descriptive, especially when used by or towards me. I personally think your over sensitivity is far more harmful and deviding, than my or others choice of words.

Now I understand you.

I didn't see a motorcycle trailer in that story. It was a camper. So I don't get the Trailer Queen reference.
The main problem appears to be bikers riding too close together. One reason I don't do group rides.

The same old FIGJAM story.

Here's the sad thing about FIGJAMers. They're the only people on the planet that can't see themselves as others do.

If they just once saw how silly and insecure they are; maybe, just maybe they'd get a little stronger, deal with their issues, live and let live.

How does FIGJAM have anything to do with getting hit by a trailer queen? I have constantly discussed that mixing bikes and moving monstrosities in one area is very dangerous to your fellow bikers. You don't need to take your living room with you to a bike rally. I am going backwards this year, instead of taking my tent, I am only taking a hammock.

Hope you find trees for your hammock, if not I'm sure there will be a couple trailers that will let you tie on.

Maybe somebody could enlighten me, I read the article and saw nothing being mentioned about a trailer hauling motorcycles, so where did the idea of Trailer Queen come from? by the way, this is what I read:

A 51-year-old Quebec man died and nine people were injured after their motorcycles crashed in a "domino effect" while trying to pass a truck hauling a camper trailer near Edmundston, N.B., on Friday night, police say.

The accident happened at around 7:30 p.m. AT across from a campground in Saint-Basile, just east of the city on Route 144.

Police said the nine motorcyclists — eight men and one woman among about 15 from various biker groups, such has Hells Angel, Red Devils and Dark Siders — were attempting to pass a truck pulling a fifth-wheel recreational trailer as it was turning left into a campground.

I never ceases to amaze me at the level of childishness that people on this site can sink to. Grow up, all of you!
