I feel like Butch Cassidy here: Who is this guy? Most of the sport bike riders around here are a bunch of immature jerks giving us a collective bad name as a biker. Most of the Harley riders are a bunch of good people having to put up with it. Usually with a shrug.
Opposite around here. 90% of the HD guys I meet are bar hoppers and blue hairs. The sport riders are a cool bunch.
Man. Do you know many HD and Rockets riders? The both of you...
Most of the HD riders I know are either middle to old aged and just learned, or experienced, young and crazy as fukk.
Every sport biker I know is pretty skilled cause learning to stunt is the shizz, and it takes skill.
Dudes need to get out in the world.

really.
your average harley rider is self-tought or learned from another less than educated rider and has been repeating same mistakes and bad habits all along.
a lot of sport bikers take their riding education more seriously. a lot of them hone their skills on the track.
sure, there are plenty of ******** riding 90mph wheelies, but thats due to carelessness, not lack of skill.
Who cares what kind of cycle someone rides, if you're a biker you're a biker plane and simple. In my usual group of friends who go on rides together there's bikes in our group from my Dyna, to sportsters Vrods, CBRs, Boulevards, and the list goes on.
It doesn't matter what you ride, it matters that you ride.
I made out fine, no power for a few days but that was it.
Got a bunch of homeless friends though.
You?
good to hear.
my family in Brooklyn ok, but one cuz in Staten Island lost his work van and serious damage to the house ... got family in Leonia, just over GW, but they're in Europe right now. probably freaking out not able to get back.
