Moderator Cynic Posted May 23, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2010 Two words, penis extension. Personally i ride what I like, they ride what THEY like. Go to a proper bike rally and you will see every color, type and size known to man. And everybody will be chating having a drink. I saw this with my own eyes, IAM instructor, "if anyone gets past me legally on the way back i'll buy everybody breakfast". From the other side of banbury to jacks hill cafe. His bike?, a CB400 dream. And no he didn't buy breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilninggas Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 i'm now riding a XJ6n after years of (mainly) riding an FZR1000 and a few people i have spoken to assume i am a novice or basicly clueless. There is a culture amongst some riders and non-riders that not riding a superbike/hyperbike indicates some kind of inferiority. It's a bit like the concept that people who drive shiny new cars must be wealthy, but behind the masquerade they might be in a pile of debt or just leasing it. It's a funny old world!

I remember in 1985 when I'd passed my test but continued to ride my sukuki (freudian slip, ive just seen the photo) A100 when some cunt on a 400/4 slagged me off for riding a tiddler. I could have strangled and forced a beer can up his arse, I was that angry (and still am): The best thing about smaller bikes is the joy of embarrasing wankers on bigger machinery. Anyway, most of such riders can never use the full potential of their bikes anyway. Tell them to whistle Dixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Ignore them, especially the Sports riders. Everyone knows that Cruisers are superior anyway. Besides, doesn't matter how fast they think they can ride... They can't outrun bullets. Remind them of this fact and then kick them in the balls.

ric Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It's not what you got, but what you do with it that counts I've done more miles in a day on a YBR than on any other bike I've owned (the largest being an 1150) and used less petrol doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bike is a bike to me, big or small, yamaha, kawasaki, suzuki, honda what ever they are all bikes, dont let it get to you mate , the power ranges fly passed me when I'm on my Kh400 triple but the last laugh is when you pull into your local bike haunt , and they are all there reving the nuts off their new R6s R1s fireblade etc i roll in behind and you can guarantee that they will be people who are sat down get up and come across and chat while the pocket rockets dont get a look in ,dont get me wrong im not against the pocket rockets I love my old FZR600 3he and i suppose she is an early pocket rocket , dont forget we are a biking fraternity ,I will give the bikers nod to all type of bikers, I look at it like this if i were to breakdown and a guy passing on a bike remembers me on the bike nodding to him he is more likely to stop and give me a hand ,. keep going to the local you'll get the last laugh when he's fried his clutch toot your horn and wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
