Trust me, the last thing this club needs or wants is the attention that would be generated by them going after a local citizen regardless of the situation.

 

Holy **** how did I miss this one?!

 

This is the part I understand. I know it's easy to say all the stuff about being a bigger man, but when you've been through enough **** in your life, maybe seen a love one hurt, or even lost a loved one due to someone's ignorance or stupidity, it does change your attitude a little. I often ask myself when enough is enough. And this situation has nothing to do with the fact that he rides a Harley. I've gotten rude reactions from dumb bitches in suv's driving with flat tires or headlights/taillights out that I simply was trying to help. You try to help these ******* morons so their ignorance doesn't kill a loved one-your's or someone else's, five minutes down the road. I've also had folks purposely try and hit me on my bike, in my car, and even walking down the street for no reason at all. A few months out of the hospital still learning to walk again-first night out on a date putting money in the meter-get a beer bottle thrown at my head by an suv load if drunk kids-explodes inches away from my head against the wall. I run to tell a cop, who was sitting RIGHT THERE in her car. She says "what do you want me to do about it?"

BTW You'd love the story of the "immigrants (don't want to offend anyone) who were working down the street who decided to help themselves to my brother & my BBQ grill. Their attitude changed fast a few miles down the road when the driver had a glock in his face I know it's "childish" and that it could've gotten REALLY ugly. I know folks will say "is it really worth it?" But after awhile some folks NEED to be taught a lesson. When is enough enough? Why should I have to bust my *** working all week to pay for my BBQ so some ********** can steal it? Where do YOU draw the line? Should WE be the ones to do it? Probably not. SOMEONE's going to do it eventually. But I feel your pain brother. I've been in more situations like that than I can remember, and usually have to walk away. It's really tough. I guess at the end of the day it's just not worth your trouble though. We try to pick and choose our battles and the only one that ******* is going to hurt is himself. Sucks to be sorry for trying help someone...

I guess these situations can be like carrying a gun and deciding when to use it. If you can walk away and end the situation do it. You can't fight and "educate" every ******* out there. There are simply too many. If you're backed or about to be backed into a corner it's nice to know you have the option and, at least for now, you're still allowed to exercise it. I know I'm wrong sometimes and make mistakes. I also try and take into account the fact that I have no idea the reason for someone's shitty attitude someones. Stay safe brother.

 

Love it!!!!!

While there are some Harley riders who clearly are not posers and are "real motorcyclists" (mind you I really cannot understand their choice of vehicle, but I digress), the whole HOG phenomena has become the "flavour du jour" for Baby Boomers going through an identity crisis and most HOG owners are just f***in' posers, people I have NO TIME for. I could be more tolerant of them if they were even the slightest bit respectful of other motorcyclists but most of them walk around arrogance and the attitude that only they know anything about bikes and riding when, if this were anywhere close to true, they would be riding virtually anything BUT a HOG. What a bunch of losers!!!!!!
