Will probably never have the need to, all the scary bikers when not trying to be a badass on the internet are just laying around dressed up like one of the Village People streaming episodes of the Sons of Anarchy and fantasizing leaving me free to actually live life in the real world.

I’ve been riding for 45 years and this is stupid as shite. No way I’m provoking a car/truck on a 600lb bike. I’ve had people hit me with the washer fluid for giggles and I just get away from them. No sense in dying over trivial things. Generally though, if you show the cars around you respect and don’t ride like a dick, there’s no issues.

Can you imagine two douchebag bikers from different “gangs” going back and forth at each other with these things? I’d love to see if.

We used to call it Gimp when we made keychains during summer camp. They used to very colorful in the 80s, I guess the style is black and white now.

Seriously, you hit my car with that I’m going to use my Get Back Bumper.

Actually, thats not necessarily true as many a Gixxer can attest to in my local area LOL



But the whole whip thing is as ridiculous as most of those that feel the need to be 1%ers...
I ride because I love to ride. My pipe is loud for two reasons , for horsepower/torque and so cagers can hear me nearby and know I’m there without having to look. A blip of the throttle lets those engrossed in their Iphones (and not their driving) to do a better job of maintaining their lane.
As for pissing off the neighbors, thats a douche move. If I’m out later than norm I’ll cut the bike off and coast in from a block away.

Anything less would be un-civilized ;)

First reason isn’t required, second reason is also a bad one. Too bad PJ’s parts closed or you could buy one of these.

I use them for initiating the wives of rookie members when I sex them up. They can also be used in mud checking. Depends on how deep you wanna go.

This topic got progressively more homosexual, even for a biker thread.

So, what made you give up riding? Health reasons or family responsibilities are two good reasons as far as I'm concerned.

I've had more than a few friends give up motorcycling when they had young kids just to be on the safe side since it is inherently a dangerous pursuit. And I've had other friends who just got too old and in ill health to keep it a safe pastime.

I'll keep on two wheels as long as I can and it's been close to 50 years now. I've made the decision once I can't handle being on two wheels, there will be no trikes for me and I'll hang up the helmet and live with the pics and memories.

Honestly like 90% of shite Harley owners have it's just for show. Other items:

- Road names. Originally used so cops couldn't identify suspects from bar fights, drunk driving, other crimes. Serves no purpose if you're a law abiding citizen like most of the fat fricks at bike night.

- Vests. If you don't have bags a vest is handy so your wallet and keys and shite doesn't fly out on the highway and your t-shirt doesn't flap up. If you ride a geezer glide with heated grips, cupholders, a trunk, radio, GPS, fairing etc there is nothing you need a vest for.

- Biker rings. Great if you fight a lot and need to knock people out or severely gash their faces. Once again has no applicable purpose to law abiding people who ride for a hobby on the weekends.

I ride all the time, would never frick with a car on the highway all it takes is one swerve and you're dead. If I was upset enough to fight someone over driving the logical thing would be to follow them till they stop somewhere.

Yes it is, thanks for noticing

First fixer upper I flipped. Not as nice as the second turned out, but not too shabby for my first effort.
