First, what someone does with their bike is none of my business but it would be hard to top my neighbor.
He bought a used 2001 Fatboy in 02 with 6,000 miles on the odometer and sold it this year with about 7,400 miles on the bike. He had it for over 4 years and put a grand total of about 1400 miles on it.
Now the engine must have had about 20,000 miles on it because every weekend he would start it up and move it to the driveway and let it idle for a few minutes and it would sit there until dark and he would start it up and pull it back in the garage. Whenver he had company he would sit on it and rev the bike to let everybody listen to the pipes. Once he got a few beers in him they would ride it around the sub-division a few laps.
This is not a BS story, this happened for the entire time he had it.

Anyway, he always has to do a burn out on my street when he is leaving the neighborhood. Not a very good one at that.--These are the types of A--holes that give all of us a bad rap and the "wanna b" politicians are just waiting in the wings to come up with another half-baked noise ,or other anti-bike law that we have to deal with !!!!!!!!--Thats the only thing that would really **** me off [sm=rant.gif]

Considering all the forum member pics of clean, expensive, chrome-covered scooters sitting next to $40k SUV's & sports cars that are parked in the driveways of suburban homes, I wonder where anyone around here gets off calling anyone else a RUB.
Seems rather ***-holish to me, and I doubt so much name-calling would be going on if both parties were staring at each other eyeball to eyeball...
As for riding in the rain- I hope that doesn't determine your degree of devotion to the motorcycling lifestyle or whether you're a true "biker" or not. If so, I fail on all counts because while I do ride in rain when necessary, I'll always take my pickup when the forecast says it's gonna be nasty cuz damn, I figgered that one out when I was 4 years old. Stand in the rain, get wet. Mama said "Boy, don't be dumb- come in outta the rain." Made a lotta sense to me back then, and still does today.
Guess I'm just a quick learner...

Won't leavethe HOGin the driveway though, not in New Orleans. It might vanish.
I act just like what you guys call a RUB, I guess. CeptI put 2,000 miles on it in two months.Rde itto work and any chance I get. Like I did with the Sporty, and the five Yamahas, the Suzukis, the Trumph, the BSA, the Norton, the chopped Pan Head, and my first Harley in 1966. Somewhere over 250,000 miles,includingfour falls.
So, what's a RUB?

just kidding, welcome to the forum.
I dont spend much time worrying about others, and like someone else said, it makes a good buy a few years later when they sell the low mile garage bling.

This is all just so much bull$hit! All these labels, titles, etc. Here's the bottom line boys and girls....just be yourself and ride. All the people that try to act/be something that they are not, are usually the ones that generate these stupid titles and tags.Don't dress, or act like something that you think others will like, just be yourself, and be respectful of others.
sidenote; Hey motosportman, I would love to buy you a beer sometime. I bet you have some great stories from all your service days and duties. Thanks for your service!

Like others, I can't see enough in the original post here to figure out the anger. I'll be damn careful from now on before I tell someone they have a nice bike - what's so wrong with that? The burnouts - ridiculous, yes. I'll never understand the thrill in those. To each his own I guess (or so I thought). But, in hismind, I guess he thinks he's impressing the fugly girl.

There are lots of guys like that around here. We call them the Rolex Angels. They are annoying but harmless.
