And yet you still keep reaffirming that you are that ***!


You don't know me, you don't have any clue how I ride. You don't know the gentleman that gave me that compliment, you have no clue!


But yet I can tell you are one of those holier than thou internet hot shots! And that is because you made sure we all knew that!

I AGREE!!

Also, it has nothing to do with a holier than thou attitude. But when YOU see it as one, that speaks volumes about YOU.

I see it as an experienced statement of fact. And in MY opinion, 100% CORRECT!

But if it makes you respond the way you did, then it likely applies to you either bcs u r threatened by it 1) due to your not being as good a rider as maybe u think u r or 2) u have an issue with someone "authority" (not that any of us are authorities) or someone knowing more than you or someone being RIGHT or something like that.

Gee, why did DJFIREUSA's comment bother you so much? Really "why"? <-- Rhetorically said.

What u r going to say next likely will be BS only YOU will believe. There is an underlying issue here I would say. And b4 u mouth off about me skirting the issue at hand, throwing a "red herring" this way, yeah, I do have an advance degree in this field so I do speak with SOME degree of knowledge. And comments like yours is loaded with the unwritten word.

The above is not to intend to tick you off by any means but sharing a point of view u r likely to cast aside to protect ur self image. You know, "Don't confuse me with the facts." If I offended you then I apologize. Nothing said here was with that intent. I respect your viewpoint. I may not think much of it but I do respect it.

Be that as it may, yes, I drag my floorboards. 2005 Road Glide Ultra. I just like to see how far over I can make the bike go.
