edquite when encountering a or riding up on a bike gang

[captdave77]

I was just curious.



Nah, I just can't see the point in argueing or trying to get somebody to understand my view on something when they have no intentions to try to understand. It's not worth the effort. But just for the record, I've never been a part of any "gang". I'm a family man who happens to ride a motorcycle. I do sometimes ride with the Patriot Guard though, and they are not a gang. We escort fallen Warriors and their families to their final resting place and stand in flag lines to honor the fallen Warriors.

I'm all for looking twice and loud pipes saving lives but I don't understand some extra consideration because of a hobby or club. I don't demand that you get out of my way because I fish.

It is a public road and all motorists are due courtesy…unless they have an Obama 2012 sticker. In that case **** 'em.

I ride a bike, a sports bike. I prefer to ride alone. A lot of sport bikers I know are idiots, the guy I sold my old bike to was quite an idiot and I wouldnt be surprised if he was dead now. When I looked at used bikes to buy a lot of the sellers were idiots too.

I used to live in a state without a helmet law, as I swear I was like the only guy who wore a helmet. And I was definitely the only guy who wore some sort of protective jacket. I've had random strangers on sportbikes PASS ME IN THE SAME LANE.

A lot of cruiser guys have external radios blasting on their bikes and that annoys the crap out of me. USE AN EARBUD!!!

The only 2 wheeled hierarchy I've noticed is that everyone looks down on scooters, never wave to them.

But if I was being blocked by a bunch of A-holes I'd just slip in behind the cars they let by.



Having a shoulder holster doesnt hurt either.

As far as the obama sticker goes I'm with ya all the way on that. Back in the mid 70's I got in a confrontation with some "outlaw bikers" that came pretty close to getting me either killed or locked up for a long time. Since then I just try to avoid them. I have run into some 1%ers over the years who were not bad people, they just don't conform to societies (our) rules and laws, but they weren't mean people. I just try to steer people away from trouble when I know they don't know what they might be getting themselves into. I guess I just wasn't clear on what I meant earlier in this thread because evidently there was some here who thought I was either part of a gang or afraid of them I'm not sure. I try to avoid anybody that likes trouble, just ain't my thing. I got enough trouble just trying to living life.

Two wheel respect thing. Although it may seem strange it all makes sense when your riding. Riding is all about freedom and expression.
