2004 vs. 2005

This is a post that I sent to the "Adventure Riders" forum in response to a negative comment about Harley riders. As I ask in the following post, DON'T WE ALL SOMETHING IN COMMON? BTW - Pardon the language.

>>>

First off ... I'm not a nube, just a new ID. Wait, since I don't post 500 times a day, I guess I am. I ride an '00' KLR650. GREAT bike. I ride an '00' Triumph Sprint RS ... another GREAT bike. I ride an '01' Harley Superglide Sport ... see above comments. Many, but not enough, bikes over the years. I have been riding for 40 fucking years, and I don't give a fuck what ANYBODY rides ... AS LONG AS THEY RIDE! I wave at EVERY bike that passes, because when I started riding, that's what my dad taught me. If I see a rider along side the road, I stop ... because that's what my dad taught me. My dad had his first bike waaaayy back in 1926. He had over 50 bikes in his lifetime and I'm almost halfway there. He raced flat track. He was a motorcycle instructer in the U.S. Army stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. HE WAS ME HERO. Too many new bikers (R.U.B.) have this "My bike is better than yours" attitude. Too many Brit bikers have the same attitude. Too many "Adventure Riders" have the same attitude. Lose the fucking attitude, people. We ALL have one thing in common. WE ALL LOVE BIKES and WE ALL LOVE TO RIDE. Don Detloff Fair Haven, MI

Well said, and your right. However, Harley's still suck, but ride the damn thing anyway, and I will wave too unless of course at that moment I am hanging on for dear life..... --- kaptain_klr wrote:

As far as I'm concerned, people can make their own selves happy riding what they want to ride. If they want to dress alike, so what? Lot of groups dress alike, like dirt riders for example. Ride on by and enjoy the day. Riding is better than driving, and the more motorcycles on the road the better. My only complaint about a lot of Harley riders, and the riders of many other types of bikes, is noise. I don't like to be blasted by someone else's testosterone-fueled fantasy, and I don't think it does the motorcycling community as a whole any good to annoy the rest of the world. Besides, as Stu found out, you can sneek up on some pretty cool wildlife with a quiet pipe. __Arden --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "James L. Miller Jr." wrote:

And don't forget the classic one-line letter to the editors of Cycle World a few years back: "What's the deal with the cordura uniforms all the BMW riders wear?"

"Harley Davidson. It's not a motorcycle company. It is a pagan cult religion for brain dead trend humping fashion lemmings." How wonder how the author really feels. He does make some good points.

The Advrider forum is full of RUB's and rich Yahoo's that think everyone should buy a $12000 bike and then trash it to prove how cool they are... Dumb Asses. It is also balanced with caring, compassionate, die-hard riders that go out of their way to support other riders... just like this forum. Thanks, West

Dumb Asses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mike Torst - reply /////// The (RUB) Rich Urban Assholes are not into shitting on those who are not of means, so get real. Most are not eligible for that extreme label, and the others that are close to not being so can be reminded by simply not being a passive non-defensive introverted non-communicating human. I have not met ONE rider, over that past 30+ years, that was not, even deep down, a workable person! I ride an old 2002 KLR650, but I could put a KTM950 under my feet, and upgrade my Lexus, etc, within 24 hours. Why do I not? Earnings dilution and transfer to depreciating assets. Like most, I enjoy productive investments. SO, My paid off KLR and paid off SC400 stay until they shit the guts out of there motors/trannys, etc.. {knock on wood not}. I am a Productive Earning Taxpipe (PET) for the general use of our near-socialist government, and I ride my A16 KLR650 hard and with pride. Advrider.com guys are seriously AOK by me and everyone else I ride with. For what it is worth - Watch the owner of a KTM950 when he downs it. No money BS - he is pissed because, like the rest of us, he is concerned less about his ride than being caught on camera! Oh, and would someone send me a picture of the pipe that came out the 'back pocket' of the dentists bare friend? (NOT REALLY --- grin....) Ride well, and focus on the ZEN of the ride. $$$ are, and never has, been the core issue. Mike Torst A16 Las Vegas
