Default My God, Harley people can be so dumb!

I drop into a certain Harley forum sometimes, because it never fails to make me LOL. These guys post some of the most stupid questions I have heard since early grade school. These questions reflect the true intelligence of some of these bikers. Below are some of the things I see posted on that forum:

1) Can someone tell me where I should place patches and pins on a new sleeveless vest?

2) Just need to vent here for a sec...
I just got back from riding up one end of town to the other checking every gas station for a freekin air hose that would fit my bike. Not one!
Not only that, half of them wanted 50 cents and one 7-11 wanted a buck (for AIR!)

I need the old fashion kind that bends on an angle other wise I'm heading to the dealership to use there's and they best not charge me for it.

Thanks for listening.

3)Why, whenever someone is in an accident here, some holier than thou *** has to make a comment about:

"Wow, maybe you should look into a helmet, huh?"

or

"Do yourself a favor and get a helmet."

or

"That just goes to show why you should wear a helmet."

STFU jackasses. The person is already hurt and you want to slap them in the face to feel like you're somehow better? You think that dumb *** helmet will keep you from being like the person in the wreck? You just post dumb crap like that to assure yourself that an accident can't happen to you?
Do yourself a favor and shut up you know it all idiot.
Okay, rant over.

4) Always me laugh. I hit a deer and went down.
Scraped my knees, my hands, broke my collar bone and shoulder blade.
When ask if I was wearing a helmet, I ask them which of my injuries it would have prevented.

When they tell me I'm lucky, I have to agree, I am lucky. I live in a state that doesn't require helmets.

5) Zipper on my pants just broke, what should I do?
So here I am standing at the urinal at work. As I unzip my fly my zipper come apart. No way to get it back together. What would you do? Should I blow my lunch hour making the 40 minute round trip home to change my pants or just walk around all day with my fly open?

6) I know I have a million internet sources at my fingertips, but I'm assuming your weather meteorologists are as good as ours up here in the Great White North - any dumber and they'd need to be watered twice a week.

Indeed - somewhere, a village is missing their idiot.

Anyhow, I'd like to know what the weather is like out there right now. I'm heading out on Friday, and will be there Monday. Stripperella & I are riding 2-up on the Ultra, so I don't want to waste space by packing chaps for each of us that won't get used if it's too hot. Is it sweltering and arid out there? I've never been.

Geez I feel like one of you Mericans asking me if I know your friend Bob in thunder Bay...

I swear, all of these threads are there right now. Some of these guys are just about as dumb as a sack of rocks, no, rocks would be more intelligent!

That's profiling....however all profiling has a measure of truth.

About a month ago I had just finished putting the baby to bed and I was out in the garage with my three-year old son. We live on a cul-de-sac with almost no traffic, usually just neighbors and local deliveries come up on our street. Well, my son and I were in the garage and I hear a bike with straight pipes. It gradually gets louder until I see a Sportster turning up onto our street. Now, I have to give this guy a little credit because he's wearing a full face helmet. It seems Harley riders normally feel a helmet is unnecessary.

Back to the story, this guy is coming up the street on his LOUD bike, and I'm trying to figure out if it's someone I know. Since he had the helmet on, I couldn't tell. Now, as he's coming past our house he decides to get up on the sidewalk! Oh, it gets better. Just as he gets past our house, I hear the bike rev up and next thing I know he's on the ground. He somehow got his back tire off the sidewalk into the yard, then the back tire must've got caught on the edge of the curb. Once the back tire was loose the bike revved, and he wasn't able to correct it and spun it around.

I walked over to see if he needed help. He didn't want help, I'm sure he was embarassed. I left him alone to try to wrestle his bike back up, watched him try to bend his shifter back in place, and then ride off. I kind of felt bad for the guy, but at the same time I can't understand what he was thinking. I'm sure he's a relatively new rider, and I wouldn't be surprised if the bike's up for sale now.

My wife wasn't too happy because as the bike was revving and he layed it down it woke the baby.

Some people are meant to ride and some are not. But kudos to any one that tries no matter how bad they look.

There's a Kawaski forum that's moderated by a Harley rider. There are a lot of kids posting rubbish - especially Ninja 650 riders, which goes largley unchallenged because anyone arguing or especially disagreeing with the Harley rider gets banned.

There are enough of us banned to have our own forum lol.
