some of the local riders around here are really good at pissing people off. They even go as far as pissing off other riders. Chromes or plastique, doesn't matter, its all about how they act when the turn on the key. Matter fact, a good friend of mine was two up with his ole' lady the other day and a young punk(in a group) whipped around him, slowed down, and started pulling wheelies....my partner(prior-infantry, prior-prison guard, 6'2" 240 lbs) followed the guys to the local 7-11 and knocked his ass out. some people are rather intolerant to folks risking their personal safety. As he explained it to me, IF the guy would've gone down, he would have taken out my friend and several other riders. I don't blame him. Its just a matter of time til one of the locals around here make national headlines in a road rage incident....this is also why there are very few guys I will even consider riding with.

That was probably not the best way to handle it, BUT it seems Very acceptable to me! not sayin we should start a movement or anything like that but it may need to happen a few more times so a few more can spread the message to their goofy-ass pals. then maybe we can all ride a little safer,

we have the same problems over here, young guns pulling wheelies and stoppies through the town centres, the cops pull us over and complain but what can we do, we keep them away from us, unfortunately we all are seen as the same.

Maybe I should send them a letter! I never speed around kids especially small ones, but I have been known to do wheelies. In town I ride pretty civil most of the time.
I am not concerned if cagers or harley riders like me and if they drive like old people fuck I will pass them.If they want to whip my ass then they are welcome to "get some". Like I told one big guy I know who threatened to whip my ass. I said to him "I don't doubt one bit that you can whip my ass but one thing you should know about me. I'm not much of a fighter anymore since i've gotten older but I'm a hell of a stabber and a shooter " He just busted out laughing.
Kev is right we are all seen as the same. Fuck'em one, fuck'em all!
