Can I hang around your hood[sm=hiya.gif]


MAchonewon, there are a lot of phrases that get thrown around here by people that have probably seen Easy Rider one too many times. I know it's not easy, but take the comments and the threadsfor what they're worth....not much.

 

I'm with ya Sean. Wish I could figger out how to make a living riding the bike Since I'm self employed every month it's either feast or famine. But we are slowly starting to pull ahead. Youngest kid is getting married in June, I'm going to saw off his end of the table! Yee Haw empty nest at last!

 

TexasHarleyGuy2007:
People around here almost use the term (no, not almost; they do) RUB in the derogatory. As if we are supposed to feel bad about our successes, unwelcomed, or not an earnest part of the biker community. I obviously can't speak for anyone else. But I'll tell you what. Like so many of you, there's not a lazy bone in my body and I work damn hard for my money. People should respect one another and not give a **** how they got their ticket punched to enter this party. The fact of the matter is they are here. Whetheryou paid foryour scoot with $100's in cash or took out a 7 year loan. It bears no difference. Whether you wear a suit and tie to work, jeans and a hardhat, or maybe are down on your luck at the moment. Again, it bears no difference. You're still part of this brotherhood as far as I'm concerned. I will always respectyou until such time thatyou give me a reason not to. Unfortunately, there are those out there within the biker community who do not feel the same as it relates to individuals they term as being RUB's.


Well said TexasHarleyguy2007,I don't think it's ever been said better than that.

 

I just am ready for them to be alone at home alittle more....Riding time will greatly increase

 

I am right there with you. I was going to leave this site and go elsewhere and I will tell you why. I posted a thread in the tech section about my Bob getting all jacked up by the dealership. The dyno'ed my bike and screwed it up bad. Well I post my dyno sheet and other things and a "Harley Veteran" comes back and tells me it's my own fault that I didn't tell them what to do. I thought that is what they get paid to do. I worked hard all my life, served in the Army 8 years, now work for the feds. I have money and I don't have the knowledge of how to install a SERT, Stage 1, so I pay them to do it, expecting they will do it right. Oh yeah I was told to learn how to do it myself. Whatever, I will pay someone to do it.

 

Dude, if that's your reason for contemplating leaving this site - DON'T! Stick around. I'm relatively new here and can tell you that - as with any online community - there will ALWAYS be those who have nothing better to do than to bash others unnecessarily. Don't let them get the best of you, stand your ground, state your case, and to hell with 'em.

 

No reason to leave!! 20,000 plus members ain't going to get along with them all

 

Go right ahead!!

 

I don't think the person attacked you on purpose. He may have just been frustrated. The info you can get from this guy is invaluable here. Just take it with a grain of salt and keep on going. There is a ton of info here on the forum.
