The wife, Ms Credit Union Manager... always throws people off when she tells them she rides a harley. Its funny.

I think why the kid was all full of piss and vinegar was the older couple ( 60 ish) that left as I pulled in.
( no wave or acknowledge either )

It was the his & hers stereotypical HD riders. Chaps, matching dew rags and leather vests. I guess dressing for "safety" versus fashion made it a bit more likely that I had something sporty.

Yeah the matcho or the people that look like they just fell out of the HD clothing tree just make me shake my head. I make a good effort to NOT purchase everything HD.

That being said... I did purchase a real nice black leather HD dog leash.

I hate when people at work as me if I rode over the weekend after coming in with some sun. I'm like duh... I can't get sun through my helmet and leathers, which they seem me walk in to work with each time I ride the bike there. I hate small talk. "How was vacation?" "Did you have a nice weekend?" "Good Morning." Bullshit, just leave me alone to do my job.

You sound like me. I don't feel the need to speak to every person I see! Especially when I'm somewhere I don't exactly want to be- Especially in the morning!


Having a pair helps bring out the extrovert me though

Around here to most you either ride a...

Harley

Harley copy or a Harley wannabe (metric cruiser or Victory)

or a crotch rocket...



I usually just respond with "I ride and like them all but currently own a sportbike...or crotch rocket... it's an R1 and my wife rides an R6".

I like cruisers too and would like to own one of each but if it's only one...it will be a sportbike for me.

lmao

That's awesome.

Observe the teeth to tattoo ratio while checking out the ladys in walmart. "Checking out" is a poor choice of words here but you know what I mean.
