not good at math, but I know there are more dumbasses than asses

 

Don't discount us smartasses when running the numbers.

 

The nice thing about living in a small town in texas is, that everybody knew me when I was riding a 3 hp mini bike in the second grade. The people that is still alive that knew me then will tell you that I am still the same kind harted God fearing man that I always was. No change in me just because I ride a HD Road King Classic

 

Holy crap. a lot of long answers.

to the op, i don't understand your frustration with the guy in shorts. he goes in to by a bike, and while there, gets the same riding gear most of us get, and you're doggin him for it? or is it because of the way he was dressed when he walked in?

Either way, if i were you, i would go for a ride and stop worrying about others and who are the posers and who are the "real" deal.

 

Did Frenchman or any of the other ole timers ever consider some of us were too young to ride in the good old days or pre' 70s or '80? We were getting educations, too young to ride, or engaged in other worthy activities. When did riding a Harley become only for those who rode way back in the day? When did bikers versus those who love to ride become a competition of who is worthy to ride a Harley? And what about the women riders? Way back when women riders were few and far between because it was not lady like and bikes were not built for women. As "bikers" are you discounting women riders too? I am disappointed with those bikers who are narrow minded, elitist, or insecure to the extent that they have to make themselves feel important by criticizing those of us who were too young, too poor, or not given the opportunity to ride until after we obtained a cubical job, saved, purchased, and then began riding a Harley after the '70s. I am happy that my circle of Harley biker friends are not so judgmental. Sorry DannyZ71 for the long response.

 

I am disappointed with your reading comprehension.

No "old timers" here ever put down new, young or female riders.
The only ones that get bashed here are the ones
WHO BUY A BIKE AND IMMEDIATELY BECOME "BIKERS" IN THEIR MIND. or PRETEND TO BE.
please feel free to hang out with your circle of harley biker friends. If they are as dumb as you I wouldn't want to be a part of your circle anyways.

 

Lol. Nice response. Dick. Youre full of **** for saying no old timers on here ever talk **** about younger or new riders.

 

bullshit.
btw, thanks for name calling. good thing you didn't do it to my face.
hang around here a bit and you just might learn the difference between those who are and those who just dress that way.

please point out where any old farts (with any class at all) bash young riders.

 

Don't believe I've read anything by anyone dissing younger or female riders so I'm having a bit of trouble figuring where your coming from there . Like been stated many times the old guard doesn't care much for the shake & bake biker out of a box crew that's been trying their level best to overrun everything the last 10 yrs or so .

I'm really curious why it is all the new comers to this sport feel they have have a new & shiny toy and a bank account to be part of something today . If somebody really wanted to ride they got a used scooter and got busy , what changed ?

 

Well considering you called her dumb I figured name calling was in order. And save the badass routine for someone else. You dont know me. All Im saying is that in the short time I've been here I've seen plenty of "old timers" talk **** about new and young riders. Im not going to go digging through a bunch of threads to prove it. And just as many young guys thinking they know everything and talking **** about the old timers. Attitude and bullshit from both sides. There are ******** in every age group. And I dont need an internet forum to teach me the difference between the real deal and the posers.
