I live between Box Hill and Newlands Corner in Surrey which is more or less where every biker under the sun turns up on a Sunday afternoon.

I don't own a bike unless you count my mountain bike that I regularly fall off of in and around the afore mentioned areas BUT...

...I get reallypissed off when I see a big fat arse farting slowly off into the distance dressed from head to foot in retro leathers on some Jap pseudo Harley.

It's just plain sad.

It's like putting your initials on your car in italic stick on lettering!

Problem is I just can't put my finger on why it pisses me off so much.

They look stupid but something else makes me want to go and push them off.

Any thoughts?

Ive never been into harleys etc, always been a sportsbike man. But the other day, was coming home from work on Saturday dinner and two middle'ish aged doods pulled out of a side street on Harleys, loudish pipes, leather pants but not jackets just t-shirts, open face helmets and shades, was a very hot day and for a brief moment I thought as they blatted off up the road 'they look quite cool'.
Then I started dreaming of R1's and GSXR 1000's again :)

My long time G/F of 10 years :eek: said if we get married next year Im allowed :laugh: to get a new R1 to replace my Fireblade. Damn that blackmailing female :E

/must resist...resist

/but I really want a R1 :[

/but I really dont wanna get married :confused:

:)

Harley's are bad and perform no other function apart from to pose on. A Jap imitation of a Harley is even worse though.

Give me a sportsbike any day :)

If you know what you are looking for you'd know if was a fart box before it started.

But hey, there's nothing wrong with 50's and 125's. They are the future bikers :)
I still give them a nod when I'm out and about.
