In this case, not really. When I see or think about motorcycle enthusiasts, this South Park episode is the first thing I think of.


They nailed this episode harder than any episode they ever made it’s fricking hilarious. Even the gay/f@g debate.

Probably the same reason half the folks in the state drive huge 4x4’s that never go off road.

So the other half that drive 4x4's go off road? How many people would you say that is?

I dont go off road per se but I drive a 4x4 and I use it quite a bit....

I didn't grow up "country" like most of my Alabamian brethren, but I always loved the outdoors and offroading and shite. That said, I really only know one dude with a 4x4 that doesn't use it at least a few times a year. maybe it's just my experience, but i don't find that notion accurate.

Seriously, a 2 wheel drive truck can be useless if it's not on pavement. Iv'e gotten stuck on wet grass with one of them one wheel spinners. arse end is to light.

I really think it’s just become an involuntary wrist twitch for most of them. They sit at their desk doing peoples taxes and dreaming of going to play dress up on the weekend, just flicking that wrist to air rev it.

That is a Buick on 2 wheels. You can ride when you can drag pegs on this:



224hp and only 350lbs dry.

Clearly for attention. I've been riding Harleys since I was young, and still do, but those goofy fkers irritate even me.

Interesting stat on this: 95% of all Harley's ever made are STILL on the road.







The other 5% actually made it back home.

For the motivated, you would be shocked at what a 2wd with good tires can do.

Like literally notice them. They are on two wheels and people are way worse drivers then they know or would admit. They probably don’t want to turn into the next biker buddy that’s dead because no one was paying attention to anything but a light at the intersection.

Old timers tell me that they have been doing it for decades. Apparently it is a "shout out" to other Harley riders.

I get disappointed looks from riders when I do not rev back. I dont really care. I ride for me. Not for anyone else or to be seen by anyone else. M-8 engines aren't really that loud anyway...unless you cut the cat out.

I do feel sorry for people though. Insecurities that make them so easily uncomfortable that even noise pisses them off....must be a sad, small life.
