So, I'm riding home from work yesterday... in a good mood, weather's nice, day went well...
A group of crotch rockets were coming towards me in the oncoming lane, so I decided to give them the wave. Wouldn't you guess that every single one of them, as if it was practiced and rehearsed, gave me the one finger salute on the way by!
Do you think they were just jealous? Or maybe just in a bad mood from being bent over all day?
Just saying...

Having ridden now for 50 years, I refuse to wave at "crotch rockets". Observing some of their cute tricks and endangering everyone around them, I have ZERO respect for them. They are testosterone driven and their gonads are still up in front of their eyes. They know better but are still "racing to crash" or kill someone.
Metric cruisers and the guy on the scooter with the old ammo cans or old aluminum suitcases for bags are different.
And as stated above, they so sound like a pack of leaf blowers and when encountering them, I can't help but laugh (out loud sometimes too).

no buddy...there is no better bike than a crotch rocket when all u ever ridden were crotch rockets so jealous is the last thing they are. the 1st thing being ********! i got my 1st ever harley a few months ago (09 sg) after owning a few rockets and ill be the 1st to say that u cant even think about fully appreciating a harley untill u buy 1. "where has she been my whole life"!! as a past rocket owner they feel that they payd half the money for three times the performance and minimum maintenance so we're the idiots also the young ****** are attracted to rockets more than they are ultras.
honestly, if i were talking to someone who knows nothing about motorcycles i couldnt or wouldnt even try to justify recommending they pay 17k for a nighttrain when they could get more performance and less maintenance fees with a 13k suzuki m109r. but thats cuz theyll never understand untill they are sucked into the sport, hobby,and lifestyle of riding that with a harley you get the culture, respect, the trophy of riding 1 and the feeling of being the king of the road that you cant get from a suzuki or honda. im not into cars so i wont buy a 60s camaro and u will never convince me too
the rocket guys are not jealous because they dont know better but if u took my harley and gave me back my rocket, ill be miserable lol
today more people buy rockets to be "badasses" and for the ****** rather than for the ride.---those guys were ******** ive never seen that before!
HA!

Probably the most accurate and comprehensive post on this. Hell, live and let live. I hope I never let people that I don't know ruin a good day's ride by them acting like immature ********.
