Default RE: Proper etiquette for treating non HD riders?

Started on a Z50 mini trail when I was 6. Had many imports along the way to my 1st Harley, and now on my 2nd. I ride in a M/C that requires you own H-D. Guests can ride whatever they want, and many of my friends ride imports. If you ride safe, you can ride with me anytime. Just remember, "Act like an @$$hole, get treated like an @$$hole." Good job and nice bikes Crazycoop, and thanks for the memories!

I was talking to a guy at work that rides a HD about another guy with a Honda that had parked next to me. He asked, "Did you kick it over?" Now why would I do that? I'm all for anyone riding 2 wheels. If everyone rode a bike we wouldn't have to worry about getting crushed by cars. Doesn't matter to me what anyone rides as long as they ride.

That trail bike is sweet! A budy of mine has a yellow one that he takes to the Blessing of the Bikes every spring. He wears a leather vest, no shirt, torn jeans, total outlaw look . . . on this little trail bike. He gets a lot of laughs and has a great time.

First bike I ever owned was a Honda S90. Good friend had a Gold Trial 70. We rode each others bikes quite a bit. I ended up trying to use the Super 90 the same way he rode his Trail 70.

BTW just an FYI it is spelledetiquette. Hahaha oops guss now Im being a dick, sorry.
Sorry for the spelling ....never was one of my better traits!

I think it was completely wrong to call him a dick. We all know he was a bitch..

Is it an H model with the 4 speed and manual clutch or a 3 speed automatic. Also, FYI, you can get the original decals these days via the internet. I'm sure I have link somewhere if you don't know where to find it. I spent several years restoring those things, mainly when the kids were young and we did alot camping at the superbike races.

I never thought about him that way, but you could be right!

Pics of the trail 70 would be nice also.
Ok, coming your way......

Yes it's the H model, The four speed makes it a little more street able. The decals are available on E-Bay or threw certain dealers. You can check at http://www.planetminitrails.com/for some more info. That's where I foundmost of my parts.

I'm really diggin' that black engine. Was that like that or did you modify the engine paint.
That's just the way I bought it from E-Bay. Just bolted it on.

Thanks man! I couldn't agree more!

The proper etiquette is treat others like you want to be treated. And if someone else is a dick, I don't stoop to their level. I just ignore their ***.
Now THAT^^^^ is good, plain, old "cowboy logic". Damn straight, the golden rule is really pretty simple.
