Perpetrating a steriotype

[Giblet]

I get 3750 miles. 1.6km / M.

I wear assless chaps too, but they're pronounced, "shaps".

Poseurs call them "chaps".:roll:

I converted that on my cell phone but since yours is bigger we'll use it :-D . So, how do you pronounce "about"? Sorry, had to ask.

[max]

Oops. I´m sure I meant ´perpetuate.´ Whatever. Glad so many of you guys commiserate. I do find a certain amount of snobbery in the world on two wheels, but I think that owning a historic bike of this era brings me just about the most respect I could ask for. A lot of cruiser guys appreciate the GS because it is pre-crotch, old, and still naked, a lot of the sport bike guys like it because it is a Suzuki with a relatively decent sized engine. I even get waves from guys riding in historic cars, just cause its cool to be a dude with your own super fast historic ride that you maintain yourself.

Exceptions aside, I found that when I got my first bike, a huge proportition of the commuting community became pretty friendly to me. Its almost like no matter where I go I can relate to or have a better chance of relying upon a fellow biker. My brother put it best, he feels like the motorcycling community is his own free AAA service, and that totally put the wind at my back. I really only started this thread because I was cold, grumpy, p1ssed off and really just disgusted. My view of every motorcycle rider is still pretty rosy,,, till next time my cable snaps.

Until then!

FYI - I carry a spare clutch cable & necessary tools to change it most of the time now. Of course, I do have saddle bags on my big, old, clunky GK to accomodate carrying stuff.

Its quite simple actually. Anyone that rides less than 30K per year is a poser.

E. :-)

Dude both of my cars together don't see that much mileage in a year and one hauls the family everywhere. :-D

I always rather liked this thought:

"Did you know that 95% of Harleys ever built are still on the road"?
The other 5% made it home!

I almost got into a fight once while in a bike shop, a Harley guy was buying a radar detector, and I couldn't help myself, I just burst out laughing and of course when he asked what was so funny I had to reply "Why would you need a radar detector if you ride a Harley?"

Nuff said. Cheers,
Mike

If I had been drinking something when I read that you would owe me a monitor.

95%

Wasn't that your sig line, Earl?

[jknappsax]

A Different 95%

Shirley, I used to be as cynical as you, but now I think about 50% of the people out there are morons, and the rest are pretty good people. I don't know why the ratio changed for me; people certainly haven't changed. Maybe it's the antidepressants!

Sometimes I'm lucky. :-)

It was for quite a while. I change when I find something new and amusing. :-)

Doesn't matter what you ride. You won't be able to please everybody so why try.

[bradleymaynar]

Before anyone starts accusing Earl of being a prude, remember that he lives in Florida and that 95% of his mileage is from searching out a curve.:razz:
