I’m Creating a new post in respponse to JRMMiii’s comment on our Douchiest Biker contest:
Saw the ad on Cleveland Craigslist for this. I don’t have any vintage bikes (both are 2003’s), but my ol’ man has 3 CBXs so hopefully I qualify by proxy.
I won’t post the whole story, here, but I posted it on ohio-riders.net.

Suffice to say I was over a hundred miles away from home to be accosted by this internet nutjob in a Wendy’s in Zanesville – all because we busted his chops about “dragging knee” without proper gear.
First, you are of course welcome here. I don’t care if you don’t own a motorcycle at all – this site is for vintage bike enthusiasts af all kinds. Actually, since my vintage Honda is only kinda-sorta roadworthy at this point, you’ll most often find me riding my 2008 Kawasaki.
So, what were you and your friends riding? Is there any special reason that some complete stranger would track you down and call you a poser…with a video camera? That’s beyong douchey, that’s just plain freaky.
I’d love to hear more about it, and thank you very much for contributing to my site. I’d also love to hear more about your dad’s CBXs. Thanks.

To answer your questions… (and I apologize ahead of time for the formatting, I’m not familiar with WordPress)
1) On this particular ride, it was a group of 7 sportbikes (I was on my 2003 SV1000S, Two 2009 R1s, Two Kawi ZX-10s, a Kawi ZZR, and an R6S.
2) If you really want to dig into the background drama of why this guy tracked us down, all will be revealed here: http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=33338
The long and short is this guy QuikZX9R came onto the forum and actually advocated running from the cops including an instance where he would even outrun a police helicopter. I think that’s the point where he lost any friends he had on the forum and basically got slammed for the message he was advocating. Apparently it hurt his feelings to the point where he felt it appropriate to stalk us on that ride (which coincidentally was an impromptu unplanned route… so how he found out where we’d be is quite the coincidence).
So, that’s my douchey/creepy story for this year. I’d love to BS with you about my dad’s CBXs, but they’re all in various states of repair… hopefully next year he’ll have 2 of the 3 up and running.
Gotcha. So you’re a poser because you don’t ride like a jackass, and in order to qualify for being able to ride a sport bike you must speed. It doesn’t matter whether or not you just like the looks, sound, or riding experience from a sport bike. Nice.
