If you want what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done..... Engineering is awesome, but you can make more money working for yourself, it just takes guts to pull the trigger.

You guys aren't taking into account a multitude of factors that makes it ok for Harley guys to drink and ride. "It's ok" Fact 1) BMI - most are obese or above, so a 350# guy can have 80oz of 5% ABV beer (4-20s) in a half hour and still be under the 0.08% legal limit (.0782% to be exact - http://www.drstandley.com/food_calculators.shtml) "It's ok" Fact 2) High tolerance - many have already built up a tolerance to alcohol which further allows them to be 'high functioning' drunks. "It's ok" Fact 3) Intelligence - Harley riders have shown they are far and above the mere average intelligence of other motorcycle riders. What idiot would wear a helmet, gloves, and leather jacket when it's 90-freaking-degrees out? Obviously someone lacking intelligence. HD riders are able to just apply this "common sense" approach to drinking and riding. So, think about it a little harder before you bag on those of above average weight (and intelligence) for drinking and riding - especially since they're the ones with experience doing it.

My girlfriend's dad, Ed, is a great guy. We really get along etc and we both ride so he invited me to come on this bike run to raise funds for a memorial scholarship for this great guy who died a few years back. After some hemming and hawing I agreed to go. I met him at his place and we rode together to the turkeyfoot sportsmans club, who sponsored the event. $5 gets you a decent breakfast and a copy of the route. Now Ed rides a Harley, and I figured there would be a lot of the leather vest and geezer glide crowd there, and I was right. My tl was one of 5 jap bikes. The other 4 being an old Honda cbx, a magna, a warrior and an intruder. The rest of the parking lot was full of your usual scores of virtually identical street glides, springers, a few soft tails and sportsters and some dynas. This wasn't a poker or dice run, just a 125 mile ride into the sticks and back, with a few bars to stop at. As we head out I notice that not only am I the only person riding in full gear, I'm one of only 4 with even a helmet on. So here I am on the fastest bike in the group, forced to ride at what I can only describe as a frustratingly slow pace. I'm used to group rides with other sport riders, where you accelerate into the turns. These guys slow down for turns. At first I was getting pretty annoyed with the pace and was bitching to myself about it, but I realized that was pointless and decided to just enjoy the scenery and experience. Then I realized I could entertain myself. I started lagging and building a big gap between myself and the bike in front of me, then I'd wait for a fun curve, grab a gear, rocket from 40 to 75 and whip through it hanging off the side of my bike with my knee an inch off the ground, slam the brakes to avoid hitting the bike in front of me, and settle back into formation. We stopped at 3 bars during the ride, the first one I had a bottle of water, the 2nd I had a beer and a bottle of water, and the third I had a beer. I know my limits and 2 is it on the bike. Some of the other riders were guzzling 2 beers and a shot at each bar, which made me a bit nervous. I don't really like riding along side fearless old farts who like to get drunk by noon. Anyway, I had a pretty good time and there was some great scenery along the way, everyone finished the route safely and we raised money for a worthy cause. I guess I just didn't realize how big the disconnect is between the sport/sport tour world and the Harley guys. Definitely 2 different worlds.

If I ever own a Harley, it will either be an XR1200, or possibly some variant of the V-Rod. In either case, I'm going to wear full leathers and a full-face helmet at all times. If any "bikers" give me shit about it, I'm just going to give them a limp-wristed wave and say "oh be nice!" in my best queermosexual voice, and then tell them that "Harleys are SUPER! I love how it vibrates my bum!" Then get the hell out of there ASAP, hopefully with enough time to give a miss-America wave with my left hand after the 1-2 up-shift.

IMO, one is too much, legal or not. If you can't go a few hours without hitting the sauce, you need to re-evaluate things. Besides, alcohol actually increases body temperature (bad for hot day) and is by nature a diuretic (bad for staying hydrated). Just a bad idea all the way around. God I sound preachy and I hate preachy people

shit. I might be out of blinker fluid tooo.

$25/hr for a minimum of 5 hours + tips. So $125 for you to walk around naked as "eye-candy" and serve drinks. How about I give you all the beer you can drink to stand naked in my backyard for 4 hours, and you don't have to work or serve anyone.

You mean vilify? Also, apparently you have 'enlightened' mixed up with 'propaganda'.

Well CSC, I had a similar experience in May when I attended a memorial run but somehow it was worse than I could have ever expected. It was a memorial run for a girl that had been killed in Dayton to raise money for her funeral expenses. I knew one person there and even that was a stretch. Got invited through a Facebook invite probably because they knew I rode. I even asked "are all bikes welcome", then the invite came with no reply of a yes or no. I took it as a yes however and went. The ride consisted of 6 stops with the final one having a hog roast (typical) and was scheduled to run from 1 to 7 pm. I was thinking "long ride" so I topped off my tank at the gas station right in front of the bar we started at. So I pull in the parking lot of the bar and see nothing but a sea of chrome, and like you I was the only guy not dressed in pirate garb. I walked up to the entrance of the bar after taking my gear off, passed a few people sitting on the patio and not one person said a thing to me. Not a hello, not a "nice day for a ride", not a "hi, bye, or fuck you". And it was like that all fucking day long. But I was there, I wasn't going to run away with my tail between my legs. So from bar to bar we went. At every stop they're downing several beers and shots and then hopping back on their bikes. All while riding "parade style" through the streets blocking traffic as we went along. Well at the 5th stop the bar had a series of picnic tables attached together so I decided to sit right in the middle of all of them and by god they'll acknowledge my existence. Well they sat all around me and well...didn't. So I'd had enough and decided to leave, I wasn't having fun at all. I pull to the first stop light and ask myself "wonder how far we went today?" The answer? 40 miles! Forty miles and the only thing they accomplished was getting drunk. WTF? Really? Come on! How in the fuck can you call yourself a biker when you're only riding from bar to bar just to drink? You're playing dress up. You're reenacting what you think the biker movies of the 60s and 70s were. You're not a motorcyclist, you're a douchebag. #/endrant

I never cease to be amazed at the lengths to which some people will go to avoid accepting the truth and to villify those trying to enlighten them. And I have never posted to any online forum that had a shortage of trolls proudly displaying their ignorance as if it were a badge of merit.

How can Bikers be "against totalitarian enactments" yet align themselves with the fascist "1%er" stooge who sponsored the most totalitarian act in U.S. history? MANY AMERICAN BIKERS SUFFER FROM SENSENBRENNER SYNDROME. DO YOU? Wisconsin's 9th Congressional District morphed into its 5th in 2003, but since 1979 and for almost a quarter century that district has been represented in Washington DC by the same silver spoon politician: United States Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. This district is the home of almost 700,000 of Wisconsin's wealthiest residents and two of Harley-Davidson's primary motorcycle manufacturing facilities - H-D Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, and the H-D Product Development Center in Wauwatosa. Many Harley riders (including myself) and other Bikers like to think of themselves as defiant examples of personal independence and liberty, and refer to each other as "freedom fighters". There are many so-called motorcyclists' rights organizations (MROs) to exploit that, among them being the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), the National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM), A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (ABATE), and the US Defenders. Here are some representative mission statements: "The mission of the American Motorcyclist Association is to promote the motorcycling lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling." http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com "To continue developing an aggressive, independent national advocate for the advancement of motorcycling and its associated lifestyle which is financially stable and exceeds the needs of motorcycling enthusiasts." http://mrf.org "ABATE of Wisconsin's goal is to give the motorcyclists of Wisconsin a strong, united voice with regard to their future, their way of life, their safety, and their legal rights as motorcyclists and citizens." http://tinyurl.com/ABATEMRO In addition to a common membership base and political message, these MROs also share an affinity for Congressman Sensenbrenner, who due to his portly stature is known to some as "Fat Jim". Here are a couple of their accolades: "The AMA thanks [sensenbrenner et al] for protecting the motorcycle lifestyle, and encourages motorcyclists in these representative's districts to thank them for their support..." http://tinyurl.com/76ez5sw "Sensenbrenner has redefined what it means to go 'above and beyond'. He has worked tirelessly to protect motorcyclists' rights on every front at the federal level for over 35 years. 'Not only are the motorcyclists of Wisconsin in Mr. Sensenbrenner's debt, every motorcyclist in this country has benefitted from his steadfast support,' said Jeff Hennie, MRF Vice President Government Relations and Public Affairs." http://tinyurl.com/7v53dyz So despite the fact the he was an heir to the Kimberly Clark (Kotex) family fortune and born one-percenter - in Occupy Wall Street, not Hells Angels, terms - it certainly sounds like Fat Jim is a champion of democracy and a true defender of the freedoms and liberties cherished so dearly by two-wheeled cowboys from coast to coast, right? WRONG. Jim Sensenbrenner sponsored the USA PATRIOT Act (HR3162). Let me repeat that for any leather-covered sons of liberty whose jaws just dropped or eyes glazed over. JIM SENSENBRENNER SPONSORED THE USA PATRIOT ACT: http://tinyurl.com/3l4z2n4 That's right, all you riders for justice. The man your MRO leaders claim has been defending your "rights on every front at the federal level for over 35 years" has actually been decimating them for much of that time. The Patriot Act he sponsored did more damage to what was once your Constitutionally-guaranteed Bill of Rights than any other bill ever signed into law, and he didn't stop there. He also sponsored the REAL ID Act (HR418) - which turns your state-issued drivers license into a nationwide "homeland security" identity and tracking device - and has been behind a number of other corporate-sponsored Big Brother affronts to personal freedoms, civil liberties and even Internet privacy: http://tinyurl.com/3qdv4 So this flabby lobby-funded frequent-flying fascist (dubbed the little "dictator" by Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi) is who American motorcyclists expect to champion their rights in Washington, huh? http://tinyurl.com/2g2lar God help them. They must be suffering from Sensenbrenner Syndrome. No, not this one: http://tinyurl.com/6oyy2mm The Sensenbrenner Syndrome I refer to is defined crudely as "supporting those who are screwing you". This disease has clearly afflicted a large number of Wild Hogs, and that's sad. What's worse is that the epidemic doesn't end there: How many fiscal conservatives voted for Bush Era Republicans while they were running up record deficits and wrecking our economy with unsustainable tax cuts and reckless deregulation? How many Koched-up Tea Party Patriots support those very same long-tenured corporate puppets today? And how many anti-war progressives/liberals that voted for "Change" in 2008 are willing to admit that their drone-happy Democratic President Bushbamney has expanded rather than shrunk the American War Machine overseas while doing nothing for the people back home that might alienate his Wall Street masters? Like Judge Napolitano, I ask: Where are the Jeffersonians? And where is the outrage? http://tinyurl.com/7rhgxzp ### REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS: ALL PROBLEMS, NO SOLUTION.
