just in case you haven't, I have pasted it below. I thinks it's funny. Don't know where it appeared originally.
I love motorcycles, and I love riding. Like many of you what first drew me
to bikes was not just the experience of riding, but the feeling that I'd
become
part of a special community - a brotherhood, really. Nothing calms me more
than
a long ride down the interstate, waving to the members of my beloved clan.
Except when I pass Harley guys. I hate Harley guys. Hate, hate, hate.
When they pass me on the highway, you know what I do? I don't wave.
With their little tassel handlebars and the studded luggage and the half
helmets - God, they drive me crazy.
You know who else I hate?
BMW guys. Oh, do I hate those guys. I don't wave at them either.
They think they're so great, sitting all upright, with their 180 degree
German engines. God, I hate them. They're almost as bad as those old
bastards
on their touring motorcycles. You know what I call those bikes? "Two wheeled
couches!" Get it?
Because they're so big. They drive around like they have got all day.
Appreciate the scenery somewhere else, Grandpa, and while your at it, I'm
not waving to you.
Ducati guys - I don't wave at them either.
Why they don't spend a little more money on their bikes? "You can have it in
any color as long as it is red."
Aren't you cool! Like they even know what a Desmo-whatever engine is,
anyway. Try finding the battery, you Italian-wannabe racers!
I never, ever wave at those guys.
Suzuki guys aren't much better, which is why I never wave at them, either.
They always have those stupid helmets sitting on the top of their stupid
heads, and God forbid they should ever wear any safety gear.
They make me so mad.
Sometimes they'll speed by and look over at me and you know what I do?
I don't wave I just keep going.
Please, don't get me started on Kawasaki guys.
Ninjas? What are you, twelve years old?
Team Green my ass.
I never wave at Kawasaki guys.
I ride a Honda, and I'll only wave at Honda guys,
but even then,
I'll never wave at a guy in full leathers. Never, never, never. Yeah like
you're going to get your knee down on the
New York Thruway. Nice crotch, by the way. Guys in full leathers will never
get a wave from me,
and by the way, neither will the guys in two piece leathers. And I'll tell
you who else I'm not waving at - those guys with the
helmets with loud paint jobs. Four pounds of paint on a two pound helmet -
like I'm going to wave back at that!
I'll also never wave at someone with a mirrored visor.
Or helmet stickers.
Or racing gloves.
Or hiking boots.
To me, motorcycling is like a family, a close knit brotherhood of people who ride Hondas, wear jeans and a leather jacket (not Vanson) with regular gloves and a solid color helmet with a clear visor, no stickers, no racing gloves and regular boots (not Timberlands). And isn't that what really makes riding so special?
