Default Hello all

Hello Hardly Ride able Land

I thought i would drop by from the sportbike side of life and say hello.
Also i would like to you to watch this.
I am sure it's a repost for you guys but i'm wondering how that makes you feel as a community.
Anyways let the flaming begin

Also note the part where the guy didn't want to give up his spot in line.
PLEASE just let us through, we are only there for a second then we are gone...

It's pretty easy to see the splinter in someone's eye, but hard to see the log in their own eye.

Default sometimes true

after riding gsxr's (2 600's and a 750) 7 of the last 9 years i was involved in two wrecks im still alive, doing wheelies cost a guy i knew his life after his right leg was ripped off by the large rock in a front yard. if your looking for someones feathers to get ruffled try again, i thought those were hilarious, especially the dumb a$$ locking his cruise and trying to surf. hopefully one day you will have the privelage to own a Harley Davidson if not then ride safe

I agree there are dumb bastards on both sides of the fence. I dunno what you guys call them but on sport bikes we call them Squids.

I live in BC Canada and ride mountain roads all summer. There are way more Harleys out and about than sport bikes. I know you guys like to ride in a formation do you ever try to block other bikes from ruining your routine or do you let them happily through?

The other thing i would like to know is why the majority of you seem to like open face helmets. The negatives far out weigh the positives, so is it a case of "most guys do so i copy them"? or just a lack of realization of what happens when you fall?

Please discuss

This doesn't make any sense.

Welcome from Illinois. I don't wear a helmet cause I have a choice in my state. If you worry about falling, don't ride! I don't run a "routine" or "formation", I share the road with everyone else. Don't like ridin behind me? go around or find another way. Anything else?
