Harley Riders - A Clarification
Just so we're clear, I have no problem with people that ride Harleys. But, as a general rule, they think that they're better than other riders, and they don't wave at me when I wave at them. 9/10 motorcycle riders will wave back at me when I'm riding and I wave at them. For Harley riders, it's much less than 1 out of 10 that will wave back. Like 1 in 100.
I've also heard them say things like, "Hey man...your bike is leaking something....RICE!", meaning that it was imported from Japan.
So, you know, after a while, it gets old and it wears on you.
Also, MOST Harley riders (but not all), spend their nights focused on how their bike sounds. And they tear out everything put in there at the factory meant to reduce the sound to a tolerable level, and they drill out the baffles, and then roll the thottle like children at a birthday party trying to get attention.
This isn't something that I'm making up. Ask anyone that doesn't ride a Harley, and they'll tell you the same thing. Are all Harley riders this way? No, clearly not. Are most of them this way, certainly, they are. It's why SouthPark did a whole episode on Harley riders.
