i would had leaned over whipsered in his ear to go Fuc* himself and turned around and rode home. like Chuck Norris, i dont take Chit from anyone. someone talks to me like that, unwarranted, they will get a response. i would have rode off after that.
PS: What biker gang actually calls themselves "outlaws" (note lower case)? Like, "Hi, my name is DonkeyJaw and I'm with the MotherPluggers Motorcycle Club outa San Bernadino...we're outlaws! I also like cuddling and long walks on an abandoned beach."
I refuse to believe for a second that you really are that stupid, roo.
That's why I used lower case!!! Only the Outlaws can say their club is outlaws. Damn, I knew I shoulda used another example. OK...OK! My second choice for a PS was "I sure would like to see 500 bikes riding bar-to-bar (meaning handlebar, not titty bar, 'cause it would be REALLY worth seeing...the bikes, I mean, not the *******...well, maybe them too).
See? It doesn't work nearly as well as a literary device.
I think you are doing a great thing, by showing how much America appreciates the families sacrifice. I think about joining the PGR, but I hate formation/ group riding. I saw a guy get hit from the rear in a poker run, once. It was a curvy road, one guy slowed down the guy behind was catching up.
You rode the way you felt comfortable, which is the right thing to do.
You, also, did the right thing by staying focused on your mission. The event was about your mission, not the ride.
It was more manly to be an adult and not same anything back tot he guy. He was the one acting like a child.
There's reasons I don't group ride. It seems like a lot of fun, but the more people you have the more chance for errors. I know my motorcycle skills aren't half as good as most in group rides so I avoid them.
