It just amazes me the transformation that takes place when a guy buys a Harley. A minority suddenly become the leather guy from the Village People and decide that several cows must die so they can have all their neat leather "biker wear". The rest do the wife beater, doo rag, ripped jeans, and forget to shower thing. These guys are the worst. They buy their Harley and suddenly they're a "tough guy, bad ass biker". Hey, if you're a member of a bike "club", then you can make that argument, but when the greeter at Walmart tries it, it becomes a joke.
Besides that, has anyone else noticed that these same guys become assholes on the road as well? They just cruise along about 5 mph under the limit in groups holding up traffic behind them. Maybe it's a need to drive slow enough for everyone to notice how "cool" they are because they're riding a Harley. Maybe it's that because they're on a Harley, it's somehow a license to act like an asshole.
Then there's the loud pipes. Is it really necessary to "rev your engine" and tell the world "hey, I've got a Harley" at 1 in the morning? Never mind the people who are trying to sleep, you've got to show off and prove what a "man" you are? I won't even get into the fact that when one rides a Harley, the rules of the road apply to other people. And they wonder why riders get killed?
Hey, if you're in one of those well know "bike clubs", this isn't about you. Those guys live, breathe, and sleep the lifestyle and usually don't cause problems, it's the wanna-be's that need to be slapped....
