Someone in IRC posted the Harley "choppers choppers choppers" rant last night and I felt like the living embodiment of that dude today as my neighbor stopped to talk to me for 10 minutes about my bike as I'm sitting in 93 degree, 60% humidity weather with the sun shining directly on me while squatting over a glorified campfire. He was about 6 minutes into a rant about how he'd have a great motorcycle if his bitch of an ex-wife didn't divorce him and take the house before I rudely interrupted him and told him I was on my lunch break and needed to get moving. Totally expecting to find my bike kicked over in the garage for me being a dick, but gently caress sitting in all black armor in the sun today.

When I got back to work people asked me if it was raining outside because I had sweated so profusely that it honestly looked like I was rained upon.

Motorcycles are sausage magnets and I'm not gay, so gently caress motorcycles. :mad:

Dear Greater Toronto Area riders (squids):

If you have ever wondered why your (and by extension, my) insurance rates are so high and you keep getting run over and killed and such, it is because you ride like a bunch of loving IDIOTS.

Oh and those microdot led flush mount signals you've got tucked up behind your rear tire next to your chain surrounded license plate-cum-fender? The ones that flicker like a strobe because you didn't bother with installing the appropriate resistor? Why even loving bother.

Gay dudes are going about it all wrong with Miata ownership. If I was gay, I'd own a CB750 with the cafe racer treatment, a scrambler bike of sorts, and some sort of Italian monstrosity so I'd be neck-deep in sausage all day every day. 365 days of different dude dongs, brought to you by bikes.

I was riding back from my friends' wedding in Niagara Falls a few years ago and a guy & a girl on their litrebikes were swerving in & out of traffic on the QEW, both in shorts & tank tops. Made me just shake my head and lol.

Why the gently caress does Honda put cruciform screws on bar-ends instead of allen screws like any sane person?! A 5 minute bar-end removal has turned into having to take the bike to the shop because for some reason one of the two screws seized and stripped.

They're probably JIS screws, which are designed to self destruct when a Phillips screwdriver touches them.

This is odd, because in the land of no helmet laws, insurance rates are super-cheap, since companies don't have to pay out on DOA single-vehicle accidents.

Seriously, if you're a strait chick or a gay dude, bikes will get you laid every minute of every day, but if you aren't, well, they still get you tons of dudes...

When I read those stories all I get out of them is "I am a complete social cripple and totally snubbed somebody trying to be friendly"

Are they really trying to be friendly when they come up to you and ask you when you're going to get a real bike?

Because that happened to me at work the other day as I was putting my luggage on to my literbike to head home. :rolleyes:

alright?
Today I had a long rear end day at work with a few co workers pissing me off so I took a long way home to chill out. On this drive near the end I realized I was coming up on the crash site of a rider who died a few months back and I saw it when I went past. I decided to turn around and just go sit at it for a bit and think. I turned around and had to park a ways down the road cause of the particular place he crashed. I was walking the 150 yards or so up to the memorial when a car that passed me pulls over right next to it. I keep goin and it's a few ladies, a guy, and a child. The last one getting out has balloons. I get closer and I can see "Happy Birthday" on them as she's tying them up to the memorial. It was the guy's birthday today. Since I was that close I said Hello and just that I was another rider who had heard about what happened and happened to be passing by and stopped, but it was obvious they were having a private moment so I would leave, and that I was sorry for them.

Didn't really plan on posting a downer story today but I thought I would because it reminds me that those times you hear people justifying riding recklessly by saying "It's only me that gets hurt" are talking complete poo poo. Not even counting the videos I've seen of bikes flipping cars, you leave people behind.
