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?

I recently showed my 750 to a neighbor who has 2 H.D.s, ( thought he would greet me as a fellow biker ), what I got was a, ” Now you can fix it up, sell it and be one step closer to getting a Harley…”, all the while cleaning the mud off his YAMAHA 4 wheeler that he had just rode that weekend…DUUUUHHH???? I almost said,” Where’s your Harley 4 wheeler?”, but I just bit my tongue and rode off knowing I’m better than that! I had an ‘81 Ironhead/Harley, and I’m proud that I have treated riders of other makes and models with the repect that we all deserve…

Hey – it’s not only about wearing excessive leather and spending too much on chrome, it’s also about pointing that out to everyone!!

Here’s a little story I think is kinda Douchie. While combing CL I can across a post for a GS 550 for sell or trade. The add went on about how the person just upgraded to a HD and that the GS would make a good wifebike or beginer ride, and things he might trade for. One thing on the list was a Guitar, so I replayed about my Peavy/Preditor (Made in USA). I got a smug replay that he would only be interested in MIM Fender Strats. (MIM – Made in Mexico.)The Peavy and Strat are almost identical guitars save the name on the neck. OK, that being said, I’m sure this person is confused, or a Douchiebag, lol. Just a little story, Thanks for letting me vent

Thanks for the post.  The douchey element I’ve found is the “upgraded to a Harley” part.  Obviously he wanted to make sure that everyone knows he has a Harley now, in case there was any doubt in your mind over whether or not he did in fact “upgrade”.  Since he insists on MIM even though it’s the same thing as the one made in the USA, we know he’s interested only in the finest things in life, as long as they carry social status with them.  Thanks for your post!

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.
