No nothing else yet. Thanks for the replies though.

 

Welcome from Bristol, England.

Funny video, I enjoyed it.

I've riden all sorts of bikes over the last 30+ years curently its a Harley. I mostly ride alone or with my wife on the back so in my case there is no formation riding.

I give a friendly wave to anyone I see on two wheels whether it be a sports bike or even a scooter. If I spot a sports bike coming up behind me, and if its safe to do so, I will pull over a little to make it easier for him to pass. I'm personally not that inclined towards riding at great speed these days and would much rather cruise along enjoying the countryside. Nothing wrong with those that want to go fast as long as they do so safely, but I've ben there and done that.

If I'm on a leisurly cruise on the back roads I prefer an open face helmet as it feels less claustraphobic and has a greater range of view. If I'm going to be on the motorway (equivalent of the interstate) then I wear a full face for additional protection.

For the most part I've only had good experiences with other bikers I see out on the road, whatever they may be riding. At the end of the day we are all on two wheels and have a lot more in common than differences.

Far better we show a unified front to protect our continued freedom to enjoy riding motorbikes than to have nonesensicle arguments over whos bikes better.

Ride what you like and stay safe.

 

funny, now f*** off back to your own side

Thanks for the reply...

I too am from England i grew up in London to be exact. I now live in Canada. There is a huge difference between riders from Europe and riders from North America.

The Harley scene in North America is obviously huge as you might expect. The sport bike scene is also very big and very varied. In the states you have the guys that like to mod their bike..ie extending swing arms, huge rear tires thousand dollar paint jobs and so forth, then you have the other side where you get that guys that like to do track days, race and wear full leathers everywhere and scream around public roads..either within the city's and limits or in the mountains.

Now it's easy to see the people that get in sport bikes for the "look" or the "cool factor" they only last a season or two then either have a crash and disappear or just come to the realization that biking is not for them.

What i never get though is when i look at the cruiser types some should never be on a bike in the first place but they decide to buy a huge bike that weighs for than Free ***** and doesn't turn or stop within a calender week. Yet still wear no gear.
On that note these guys also buy the same bikes for their wives or other half's that have less talent than they do and we know that girls aren't as physically strong as guys and yet i watch them trying to maneuver a bike around that is four or five times the weight of them. The real kicker is though they also wear the same gear as the guys. Chaps, T-Shirt, boots, jeans and a ping pong ball helmet. Now come on don't you think that the girls at least need to be wearing more gear?

Anyways i expect to be told to F#$% off again, that's fine..
Before i go i would like to point out that when buying gear for riding there are other brands than "Harley Davidson"..
We know you like them cause you just rolled up on one. You really should be getting paid by them for standing around at coffee shops.

Thanks people.

 

C'mon, you could have got a much better anti-Hardley Ableson video than that one. What a bunch of wasted video time. Needs to move along a little better.

Sportbike, Adventure bike, dirt bike and Harley cruiser rider.

 

No i didn't search for one. I just saw it on another forum and thought it was kind of funny.

 

No i'm not worried about falling other wise your right i wouldn't ride.
I just don't want to hit my head if i do go down.
