Thread: What's the one thing U hate most when riding ??

I hate it when folks decide that stopping @ a stop sign makes no sense. That is how I got banged up on may 28th. Bike is back together still working on my azz.

Windshield washer fluid,
June Bugs,
Birds,
Woodchucks,
Dumptrucks,
gravel,
and people asking how fast my bike goes or can you do a wheelie.

3. Morons of any age and gender on Cell phones running in both lanes.
2. Trucks with usecured loads (I got sand blasted last tuesday for 15 minutes because of traffic and a dump truck with an uncovered load of sand)

1. Subarus with Vermont plates! It is not enough that that here in New England that when somone does something stupid with car to a bike it is always seems to be in a Subaru. Last October in Martinsburg West Virgina I am saved for being blindsided by a CB Call from a trucker and guess what the car was a Subaru with VT plates.( I was on a Goldwing so I aint uying he couldn't see me) My theroy is that in VT if you can prove you have had a labotomy they give you a 10 k discount on a Sooby Dooo!

Well, so far I have to say.....


all the above, to some extent....blonds in beemers on cell phones is number one for me though.

I just use them to gauge how much my ticket will be if I stop.

I propose that we write a bill that requires the federal government to determine what the "safe" limit is for each type of vehicle you need an endorsement for. Posting signs for each. Typical highway sign would read: TT & CDL 55MPH, Passenger vehicles 80, Motorcycles UNLIMITED.

I'll put a petition thread up...

Need to modify it just a bit to create special limits for vehicles operated by morons:

TT and CDL 25MPH
Passenger vehicles 10MPH
Motorcycles 15MPH

All morons must stay in the right lane on highways, and on the berm on secondary roads.

There is a guy who has developed an all electric motorcycle trying to advocate that anyone owning his motorcycle can wear no helment, park anywhere they want, have no spped limit, and pay no taxes on the motorcycle.

I won't sign it. CDL's 55? Soccer mom 80? My truck can't do 55 with any kind of load because it just lugs the engine in overdrive and if I downshift it revs too high. I stay away from slohio because of that crap.

I hate birds! Was doing about 120 on my Busa and not really tucked down that tight when a bird caught the top of my helmet. It sounded like I hit a bowling ball and it knocked my helmet back, and the chin strap is the only reason it stayed on. I almost had to clean my pants out because I did not see that bird until it hit, and saw the flurry of feathers behind me after it hit. There was bird poop, blood, and guts all over my helmet. Those birds are worse than bugs!

Hmmmm

Bees in my helmet
People in the left passing lane being passed by people in the slow lane
Cig butts out the window
Dump trucks with dirt & rocks coming off every bump they hit
People asking me to do wheelies for them

Wasps in my jacket that don't sting me until I have all my gear on, the Busa in first and just starting to roll. I had been wearing the jacket for close to 30 minutes.

On the topic of bees, my wing man almost lost it the other day because he caught one.

I told his dumb ass to zip up his jacket. I almost pissed my pants watching him dance on the shoulder.

haha, that sucks. the only thing i seem to catch down here in florida is love bugs. those things stink! literally! their smell makes me gag. avoid these guys at all costs
