When I saw the pic I knew Strokers would be in the story.
When Wild Hogs 2 is filmed that will be the venue. Don't worry OP. The temps will drop below 70 soon and you won't have to worry about those guys until March or so. |

They ride to be seen. That is why a few end up dead on the roads. Not because of the less than stellar reliability of hardly able son engineering anachronisms they call motors ( common crank pin 45 degree large v twins that shake like Michael J Fox without his meds...). Anyhow, you should have seen them and known those over priced pigs cannot handle for squat, plus the group might have twenty years of two wheel experience in aggregate.

Are all motorcycle riders such dutchbags? Good question, being i biker myself i would naturally say no but i will pose you with some questions of my own.. Are all truck drivers such dutchbags ? Are all cagers (people that drive cars) such dutchbags ? Are all bicycle riders such dutchbags ? Are all arfcomers (people that like guns) such dutchbags ? The answer is naturally, no.. Not all are dutchbags, but some are.. |

The rule of thumb is that if someone who rides a motorcycle refers to himself as a biker, the probability of that person being a dutchbag is near 100%.

I ride a Harley, a big fancy one too. I'm also from Alabama and laugh at the Alabama jokes told here in Georgia. Call me a good sport if you want but I too despise the Harley guys who seemingly go out of their way to be dicks and have never learned to ride safely. The dicks are present on the road irregardless of the vehicle they drive but it does seem that some people, when on a Harley, give all motorcycle riders a bad name. There is also a group of riders in my area on crotch rockets (they will probably be in Atlanta tomorrow at the parade
 ) that have soured the public to all motorcycle riders in general. It's not just a Harley thing.

This is why, when on a motorcycle, I have always, and will always ride alone.
Not only is it safer, but I don't have to worry about the skills (or lack of) of anyone else in a rolling group costume party. I also don't have to worry about traffic patterns, everyone trying to get through lights and intersections together and all the other bullshit of riding in a group. And no.....not all riders are douchebags.Now.....if I'm on a bike...... Are all car drivers like you douchebags? Is that a fair assumption?

I'm not. I ride like a bitch because I don't want to die, and I have respect for other people. Lane splitting, failure to yield, racing, weaving around traffic, blowing through stopped lanes, revving at every fucking stop. All of that shit pisses me off to no end, and I give no leniency to people that I catch doing that shit while I'm on duty.

One guy in particular didn't like this, and when I put on my blinker and tried to move from the center to the right lane after the turn he sped up and got on my right next to me.

Try lane splitting in a car, or ignoring a red light at an empty intersection. Both are legal for motorcycles in many states. |

No. Weekend warriors drive Harleys in a group and feel entitled. Motorcycle drivers tend to ride alone or, at the most, in pairs. They follow the same laws as cagers, but may drive a little faster than normal to avoid being hit by said cagers. If you see a gang of Harley drivers acting like assholes on a Saturday they are dentists and attorneys and marketing folk releasing their inner douche. If you see a gang of rice burner jockeys acting like assholes any day of the week, they're assholes who are too smart to belong to a named gang but still stupid enough to want to belong to some assembly of their "peers." Still assholes.
Real bikers mind their own business. |
