tyler524 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Please go faster than 50mph. These jackasses were backing up traffic pretty bad and I almost seen about 4 or 5 head on collisions with people trying to pass these guys. They were your typical jeans, sleeveless HD shirts and bandanna on their head (because it helps soak up the blood when you hit the ground) and on shiny HD bikes. Riding that slow on such a busy road especially along the lake on memorial day is not only dumb but dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I just want to kick those bastards. I hate bikers that don't go the speed limit, especially when they're in a group slowing up EVERYONE and creating a big line behind them.

ReconRat Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 yeah, seen those before. Seen them merge onto a packed freeway at that speed also. 45-50... I suspect noobs. Probably should have the first year helmet on. As if they even had a temp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just think of the South Park Harley Episode. Best one possibly ever, not really but it does describe the HD sterotype to a T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Reminds me of three of us coming up on the back end of a parade on 664 a couple of years back. Might have been moving at 25-30 mph and slower on the corners... Must have been 40 or 50 of them, no way to pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlifeVenture Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Excessive speed under speed erratic riding no wonder bikers get such a bad rap. The freeways aint the place to be fucking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gidet Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I love when they go in the fast lane on 270 and they, seemingly, refuse to go more than 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Shit like this and THEY wonder why we blast past 'em?? They ride Harleys, so rules of the road are written AROUND them....just like traffic wants to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) I love when they go in the fast lane on 270 and they, seemingly, refuse to go more than 55. I always pull up and "beep beep" like the roadrunner to the coyote, and take off... wheelies allowed in those cases... yeah, I'll wave, it always confuses them... no, they never wave back, hell, they never smile...edit: so why the hell do they ride? everyone I know has a big smile when having fun riding. Apparently those that are not smiling, are not having any fun... Edited May 31, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 A couple weeks ago I saw three of the motor company's finest do a stupid stunt...even stupid by Hardly rider standards.They were coming into the west side of Zanesville on SR22 which is two lanes at that point,they were riding three abreast taking up both lanes,below the speed limit,holding up TWO lanes of traffic with a long line in both lanes.Insane!

Steve Butters Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 The dripping oil from the bike in front makes it unsafe to do the speed limit, same for the second row etc...its a chain reaction, they can't help it, give'em a break!

jagr Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Too bad there wasn't a tasty freeze or an antique shop around. They usually pull in. I don't know why those places attract gay pirates like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Stereo TypedYeah. I always do 5- 10 above the speed limit on the freeway, tickets are the only thing that keep me from going faster. While I do typically take it pretty easy on twisties, I'm usually 10-15 miles or so above the suggested speeds, and if someone really wants to pass, I give them room. My floorboards scrape too, but damn, they are comfy. Too bad there wasn't a tasty freeze or an antique shop around. They usually pull in. I don't know why those places attract gay pirates like that. Hey, I stopped at the antique places with the gf while riding hocking today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Tyler's gonna love riding with me Saying all Harley riders are obnoxious and slow is the same as saying "all riders on sport bikes are dumbass kids trying to kill themselves"... it may be true, but it's still a generalization.

I know there are douche bags of all types on all bikes. Believe me I seen plenty of sport bike dbs this weekend but I never got held up in traffic or seen an accident about occur due to them.

TenTwelve Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I've honestly have never seen a single or a group of Harley riders backing up traffic the way it's been described here. I'm sure it happens but, I'm just surprised I've never witnessed it. ***shrug*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Believe me I seen plenty of sport bike dbs this weekend but I never got held up in traffic or seen an accident about occur due to them.there was two loser squids on stretched bikes tailgating me today in reynoldsburg....annoying as shit, no helmets, just black wife beaters and sunglasses... would go slow then speed way up and hit the brakes before slamming into me, weaving side to side seeing how far over they can lean in a straight line, just general douchebaggery....theyre lucky i give a shit about fellow riders or i would have brake checked them and it would have fucked up their day in a bad way...fuckin squids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Weren't you with us last year for the dtc wv rain ride?Yah but that wasn't a motorcycle ride, that was jet skiing.Also, I didn't have a harley then (inb4, you still don't) so now I'm like 40 mph slower.

Passed them in the suicide lane in my sis-in-laws ragged out chevy blazer...boy that pissed them off. They tried real hard to catch me and couldn't till I stopped for a light. They wanted to know wtf my problem was, I told them that they were going way under the speed limit and holding up traffic, they threatened to shoot me. I laughed....douche bags.
