 Yesterday coming into Point Reyes Station, a group of us saw up ahead a very large passel of pigs on hogs making the turn we were about to. Oooooooo-nooooo. Seemed to be the general feeling.
We road behind them a bit to see if they were going to turn off – they didn’t. They were going about 20MPH around LUCAS valley road. That’s unbearable.  A few of us started passing them. As we got into the group when they started giving us attitude. While some simply scoot over and let us in, I notice it was the chicks on the backseat not the oinkers driving, sticking their legs out to the sides, flipping the finger at us, yelling “A-HOLES,” and all that. Pretty much only the chicks on the back seats.
Interesting.

I think the passengers saw how much fun we were having, and were calling their riders "A-holes" for owning big slow behemoth machines.

 I had so much fun getting "passing practice" that it's inspired me to write a poem.

 Ducatis are red,  Ducatis are blue,
 Ducatis are light and agile too. [moto]
 Harleys suck. The end. cheeky

 Of course you guys know I'm kidding on the "Harleys suck"comment. Ride what makes you happiest, pure and simple.

 And for the record, all my passes were as clean as possible. Last thing I wanted to do was to take someone out through my own stupidity. DQ was behind me all the way through, and he can confirm that. waytogo

Is that why Harley riders don't wear proper gear?
I  always see them with half helmet and t-shirt.. Sad
I guess you don't need gear if you are doing under 30mph most of the time. Grin

I'm going on a two day ride with some Harleys and Goldwings. There will even be a couple of trikes. I'll be the lowly Duc. Does this make me a nerd?

No, it makes you the coolest kid on the block...and the fastest on the ride Grin

Those are so unclassy, I dont know how you could be more unclassy.

Maybe by wearing your pants down so low your whole underwear is exposed [Cant run from the cops Gangsta style]? But not wear any underwear...

Yeah, but for that to be truly unclassy, he'd need to be a politician. laughingdp

Yes DQ, I just put that one on a silver platter for you. Enjoy! waytogo

Just wear chaps with nothing underneath. That might win for "more unclassy."
