People you work with.....that dont ride

[TAftonomos]

I work with a bunch of golfers.  Every day I have to listen to them talk about how they played, how bad someone was, or who showed up and who didn't. 

Anyone else work with a bunch of girls that think golfing is the end all and look at you like you are crazy if you ride (especially a dirt bike) ?  I mean hell, if the weather is good enough to go chase a little white ball around with spiked shoes while drinking a coors light at 9am, then it's damn well good enough to go rut out some dirt, fall down and get hurt, or carve up some favorite roads!

You "can" do both. Nothing wrong with a little golf.

My wife told me that she was okay with the motorcycles, but she'd leave me if I took up golf. Since I can't get a golf bag on my Monster, it's not a problem.

I played golf once, I bent the club and threw it into the trees out of anger.

Never tried it again, that "sport" is for people who think taking a dump is exciting.

Or, for people that have enough patience to hit a ball that is just sitting there.

Playing golf is one thing, at least you are out and about.  But golf on TV?  Don't know what's wrose, watching golf on TV or watching a bunch of cars turning left in a circle.  I apologie if you enjoy that sort of things.

As a golfer, I can watch hours and hours of how it is (supposed to be) played at the top level.  

Oh, and I can listen to people who think they can "race," for less time.

Playing golf is fun, more fun depending on your attitude.  However, playing one round takes at least six hours once you figure in commute, warm up and then the 19th hole.

Riding my Duc is therapeutic and I can get a quick fix after dark and in much less time.

So far for me, golf is cheaper.

I've got some coworkers who followed in my footsteps and got motorcycles, I think we all went through some sort of crisis period and had to get new toys.  Others have their activities they're so passionate about, some which I just simply do not understand, but fortunately no one has eyed me strangely for riding.  We'll see how the situation is at my new job I start August 16th.

I used to golf a lot more, now I think 9 holes is enough, 18 holes is too much.  I also used to be pretty good, now I'm atrocious.  I don't golf for the satisfaction of getting a low score, it's just getting outside away from the crap I have to deal with and just relax while having a cigar with buddies as we insult one another in good humor.

I enjoy riding the motorcycle for the opposite reasons, I find it exciting and gets my blood pumping.  I did a really nice ride this past Sunday with Sac and Junk (see what I did there?  ) and I'm a new rider still by most standards, so I was pushing it to keep up with them.  When I finally go home my hands were shaking a little (Sac knows why I was spooked), but it's nice to feel alive.  Golf doesn't make me feel alive, it's just a timeout from the bullshit with less danger.

I do both .....

Rode the Monster to the club ..... play a round of golf & rode back home ...... enjoying them so far ...

Most folks will never get that. They are so pissed off that they can't hit a ball that isn't moving, they loose their mind. 

[NoisyDante]

I know it's hilarious. I learned a long time ago that to get better one must play constantly, nd I have no time for that.  I am however very good at making fun of myself, so that's how I look at it. Really made it more enjoyable.

No golfers in my neck of the woods, lots of musicians, artists, and filmmakers in our collective at work. My hobby is generally taking things apart and modifying them, especially if it has an engine and wheels.  [moto] I don't know if I have the patience for golf, even if I did, I don't think  find the game compelling enough to try.

I get excited every time I have to take a dump.




Unless it's after 2 days of Taco bell.

I've been riding motorcycles since I was 14years old, thats 53years of fun with a capital "F"  I've had one round of golf which didn't ring my bell but, and heres the but, we are all different and shouldn't condem each other for not following our particular sport or hobby we just need to live and let live...
