I used to ride, and even though I rode responsibly there was the occasional idiot who seemed to have it in for me. I was riding down a residential street one day and a guy was stopped on a side road ahead of me. When I got to the intersection, he pulled right out in front of me. I almost laid the bike down trying to avoid him. The look he gave me was priceless, like ‘where the hell did YOU come from??’
Incidentally, I always rode Kawasakis or Hondas because I couldn’t afford a Harley, as they were always several thousand dollars more than I could come up with.
I raced offroad mostly and some street riding in my twenties and made the mistake of visiting the local Harley store in 2001 when I saw an ad for Sportsters for under 6K...I couldn't afford a Harley back then either and really had no intention of taking up street riding again but came home with a pearl white 883. One thing leads to another and in 2003 ordered a black Softail Standard which I have today. I'm 58 and when I go to the Harley store all I see are white-haired guys as they are the only ones who can afford 20K for a motorcycle!!
