I used to work with a Harley rider who said this all the time. Claimed he never used the front brake because it was "too dangerous."

I'd put money on a higher accident rate per veh mile on a Harley vs a crotch rocket.

You'd lose that money. :-)

Over half of all Harley owners will dump their bikes at one point. It's a statistic.! Ok, one I just made up. It's on the internet forever now so it must be true.

Now shaddup and

Well you posted it on teh interwebz so now it's TRUE!

I'm quoting that one next time I teach Rider's Edge.

My favorites:

" why did you buy a 500cc? Don't they only do like 40 mph?"

" bikes can't weigh much less than a car, they still have the whole engine, and that's most of the weight"

"Bike riders are assholes, they don't need the entire road. They should let cars pass."

[oVTo]

After telling a motorcycle dealer last week that I'm an experienced rider and my husband doesn't ride:

"So, you need to call your husband and ask permission before you make this decision?"

Scenario: Me, my wife and daughter walk into a restaurant, all carrying riding gear. Waitress asks "how do you get three people on one motorcycle?" (not considering that women can ride their own motorcycles).

Did you give them your permission?

"loud pipes save lives"

"Bike riders are assholes, they don't need the entire road. They should let cars pass."

i say that about bicyclists. not all bicyclists, of course. just the ones that are assholes.

Me: "I got a speeding ticket"
Tool: "how fast were you going?"
Me: "like 75mph"
Tool: "damn dude, you need to get a bigger bike!"


The same tool claimed that he had his busa doing 185mph down the highway and the cops got him w/a road block.


Some other favs:
-"I wouldn't even stop for the cops... there's no way they could get me"

-"is your swingarm extended or is that stock?"

-"I hate motorcycles... nothing good ever comes from riding one of them things"

Talking about upcoming weekend plans:
Me: I enjoy motorcycling...
Bank President interrupts: You'd better get rid of that thing, they're dangerous.

[rolker]

Uh... if he was having his bike inspected, there are tread depth requirements... hence race take offs would have no tread.

Or am I missing something

Not all take offs are slicks and so they could still have life and tread left in them. My point was that a mechanic actually recognized a tire that had been tracked and so it doesn't seem like an ignorant comment, quite the contrary actually.

Sounds more to me like he recognized the tire usage as track wear but did not ever consider the fact that you could ride or achieve that amount of wear from a EX250. Hence the ignorant part...

Bingo!

LOL. Today, one of our VP's grabbed my jacket off the rack, mounted a chair and started making vroom, vroom noises

That's awesome!

I was in our Austin office last week and found out that 2 (rather hot) chicks there ride dirty toys. I was so excited!

Do they ride bikes, too?

[Garandman]

My personal favorite, from a motorcycle cop no less. "Here in florida you dont even need to wear a helmet, just go to walgreens and get some safety glasses, insurance will even pay for them."

...Why they call it Floriduh.

From a woman in an SUV, while I was putting on hi-viz jacket and overpants. "Why do you wear all that gear? My husband doesn't wear any of that."

"Crazy SUV drivers keep trying to kill me."

Woman.

That's not ignorant, that's the truth.

Dude, he works in a Harley shop now... what else they go to talk about, new HD technology?

What I wanna know is, did the guy actually SAY "lol" or did he actually laugh out loud?
