I was going to say, your rant seemed a bit diluted. :lol: I think the poor guy is just trying to get people to view their motorcycle as more than just a mode of transportation.

Install something - that message isn't for you. It's for the assholes that buy it and have someone else install everything on it without understanding it takes more than a key to make it run.

Rally or other event - ever been to a race or IMS? Hell, I avoid many rallies - but LOVE going to other events through the year.

I meant bitching...not biking.

it's winter

Anything good to add to it?

#6 Try to get a ride in on a different style motorcycle than you are used to.. like a sportbike rider taking a dual sport out for a day or a cruiser rider hoppin on a sumo..

#7 Be a little more considerate when riding through your neighborhood late at night or early in the morning. I doubt you enjoy being woken up.

#8 Go against the grain, and stop feeling like you "must" buy a fender eliminator or flush-mount signals just to be accepted by other sportbikers

Probably heading to the EasyRiders show this weekend...just to do something bike related. Should be some cool bikes and hot women to look at. :idk:

#9 Camp off your bike so you can find out just how miserable it is.

If my boys were to turn to me that they will never ever ride a motorcycle, I'd say good for you. Spend your money on something you prefer.
some bikers talk about motorcycling like its a religion and to validate that they need to get as many people as possible to like it too "Its great...just look at everyone else who agrees with me!!!?
Too many people try to define themselves by their hobbies and toss around words like culture and lifestyle.

Bunch of snivelling little pansy assed jerk offs trying to be "part of something"

What the hell is wrong with saying "Its just something I happen to enjoy"
I'm not sharing motorcycling with anyone.
sometimes it's a matter of showing someone about bikes who has expressed an interest and wasn't sure where to start. maybe it's helping someone out with some gear. as he stated show a young person, maybe help them learn how to ride dirt when they've expressed an interest.

I can't count how many people I've gotten started into bikes after they expressed an interest. then if they want to continue they can. has nothing to do with getting them to drink the perverbial koolaid.

This. Very well written and I agree completely.
