Shouldn't be too hard to catch this idiot as he blew up a tire.

Hey, I represent that remark!
Yesterday I was abused by a lady who said I cut into her parking spot
The park had no paint lines, I pulled right to the left and left at least 10 feet but it wasn't enough apparently.

[Ncdan]

Where’s the cops in that town????

[Lannis]

So far, no matter how much I nod and say hello at gas stops or overlooks, I haven't found one yet with a "Get Back" whip tied to his handlebar who WASN'T an anti-social arsehole.   And that's quite a few.

So we're apparently NOT all "brothers in the wind" etc etc.   I'd be willing, but I don't wear the approved outlaw non-conformist rebel uniform.

 Uh , didn't see a get-back-whip one in the video .

So apparently, there are more types of a$$holes on motorcycles than originally thought.   Stunting vandals was the subject of the OP, I added wanna-be 1%ers with get-back whips, I'm sure there are quite a few more out there.

Me, I wave to kids, slow down to let people merge, let people cross in crosswalks, don't cut in front of cars ...

 As do I , still not seeing the connection

Answered the HD itch from '08-'16. 5 of 'em. Finally realized I was never gonna wear the established costumes & for other reasons as well didn't want to be included in their general stereotype irregardless of the occasional exception.

[oldbike54]

 Interesting how quickly this changed from a thread about sport riders acting like idiots to a Harley rider bashing thread . Everyone is an A hole except for us , right ?

[LBC Tenni]

Reminds me of George Carlin’s old game show bit, A-hole, jack***, Scumbag. 
Moto Guzzi, the motorbike brand least likely to be ridden by a sociopath.

Be careful Lannis, you are going to get a rumor started that you are a nice guy and not a  hoodlum :)

***holes are ***holes, no matter how many wheels they run on or what they wear on their back. I've known Harley riders and 1%ers who were some of the best people I've ever met, and met Guzzi/Honda/Triumph/take your pick riders who I wouldn't cross the street to pee on if their hair was on fire. That being said, these guys are grade A ***holes.

[Turin]

I had a chuckle when that tire popped. Serves him right. Jackasses, all.

A quick re-stripe would fix that in a jiffy. I'd guess it was not a high quality paint, that is easily covered over. ( friendly neighborhood asphalt guy )

[rschrum]

Seems they were protesting the gay pride march thing.

[Turin]

I wouldn't give them that much credit. I'd venture to guess one jackoff got a bright idea, and the others followed suit. spontaneous douchebaggerey.

[JC85]

Protesting and vandalism are two separate things.

I’d like to talk about the “irregardless” thing.
It just does not make sense. They even covered it on the Simpsons.

Uhh, what's a get-back-whip?

[Kent in Upstate NY]

In California, a felony. It is a braided leather lanyard with a lead ball at the end.

[John Croucher]

What would be the story if someone painted the crosswalk to look like tire skid marks and someone came along and painted to look like multi colored stripes?

This seems to be more about division and wedge issues and not the fact that paint on roads gets destroyed by all types of motor vehicles. 

The real story should be, paint on roadways is slick and dangerous to motorcyclist and bicyclists.

[s1120]

No matter the issues...  you know..  some people are assholes...  My big takeaway....  is it cost 30K to paint it.....  WTF??  I have no issue with the rainbow... and understand it might be a tick more pricey because of different paint.... But 30K???

I was looking for one to clip on the LeMans, but I couldn't find one in I-talian leather   

[wittangamo]

I’ve always been a bit antisocial, but I don’t think I’m any more of an a-hole since I traded my Guzzi for a Harley. I still wear the same gear, wave at everybody on two wheels, and try not to set off my neighbors’ car alarms when I come home. But I do find that fewer strangers strike up casual conversations. I guess it’s an image thing, whether I think I fit it or not.

As for the hooligans who tore up the rainbow crosswalks, jail ‘em, along with anybody who actually uses a get-back whip.

[JC85]

Yeh, Plenty of bikers are Aholes such as myself.  Still,

I wonder how much of The People's Tax Money the ABQ mayor spent on the "rainbow stripes" - supposedly "A symbol of pride and inclusion" - to help promote the LGBTXYZ parade ??   

The mayor of Albuquerque NM is Tim Keller, a Democrat.

As for me, an AZ resident, I proudly proclaim that I am a member of the EADGBE community.  Where's my free stuff ??

Let's keep politics out of this. Board rules. No need to get a thread nuked.

  Feel free to delete my post with the quote to get it totally off of the thread.

OK, apparently my mental blockage isn't working today, maybe I don't watch enough TV...

Guzzistajohn gave that link to what a "Back off whip" is.... I'm still drawing a blank on what one is used for...

I know, my innocence is showing... it's part of the price for growing up and staying a small-town boy.
