From hondacrguy:
douchiest biker huh? a few years back i was without 4 wheel transport and broke. i came across a 84 virago 1000, with a “sweet” pearl white paint, for 1200 bucks. i bought it in march and hit the road. i have ridden bikes my whole life but this was my first japanese harley clone. 2 449cc cyl. i hated that bike. one cylinder would crap out and pop back on at random, usually by some hot chick, forcing me to hold on really tight cus thats a kick in the ass when half your motorcycle turns off and on. still i was broke it got me to work most times and what the hell i was riding full time.i would pass these harley doctors with their “roeder harley” or knock off sturgis standard black t’s 250 dollar harley boots and gay fringe on their 08 raod king trying to act like jessie james. never did i get the “wave”. no respect for a real rider in work boots and a lunch box strapped to the seat. im my opinion those weekend warriors with their 25000 bikes all deserve to win the douchiest rider award. live to ride ride to live only keep it real man. harley,honda or ducati
ride to ride
I gotta say, I usually skip the wave and go for the nod…I would rather hold on with both hands than look cool. Most of those with $25K bikes seem to have a slightly different slogan of “live to ride, ride to be noticed.” (Goldwings excluded because they’re built for an entirely different purpose).
I love your story…it definately paints a picture of a real biker. You mean you didn’t buy a pair of $400 saddlebags to hold your lunch?
