That is just too funny.

Sorta follows the same line of thinking as the Jeep saying
"You wouldn't understand....It's a Jeep thing"

Can't we all just get along.

pretty good stuff, my bro-in-law does not wave back b/c he is riding a v-star classic and not a Harley

Moonduck

Heh, good stuff! I really liked the Flipflop one.

ziadel

omg thats good, but it really is too true about the harley dudes...


if I see another dude on a bike, I wave, end of story, if they dont wave back, well, thats their problem
a buddy of mine a few months ago came upon a broken down harley with its rider sitting on the side of the road, my buddy being the good dude that he is offered to go for help, or give him a lift, and the dude decided to sit bitch on the back of his RC51, so he takes this dude to this bar where his buddies are at, and then hears him say, "wtf guys, didnt you noticed I stopped, I had to ride on the back of a fucking jap bike..."

*sigh*

I wish we all could get along

When I ran out of gas, 1986 Yamaha XJ700, (the bike sat for a month and the two cups or so I left in there when I parked it must have leaked/evaporated) I had just pulled over. I was switching to my reserve, no luck, when a pickup pulls over.

He pulled in front of me to stop, and I see it's a HD edition Ford F-150. Then the biggest mofo I've seen in a while gets out of the cab. I'm not what you'd call a "little guy" but this guy, shit, he's a big fucking guy; and, he's wearing a Harley Davidson hat.

Nicest guy. He gave me a lift back to my place, and got my little red gas can.

Seriously nice guy. Some people respect the ride. Others get all fucked up about what thier riding on.

Thanks Harley dude.
