Reminded why I don't like Jeepers

[ibmx2]

I know that most fellow VXers here are of the impression that I am not a complete a**, and I know that there are reasons for stereotypes. However... I ride (and love) my Harley, and I REALLY want a 2-door Wrangler. So, all I am going to say here is that there are good people in any group. Find the people that are not full of themselves (or their choice of vehicle), and have fun. Let the jerks hang out with each other.

Oh, and one last thing... VXers had (have) a bad rep with other Isuzu wheelers because of this same elitist attitude, so be careful about lumping all owners because of a bad experience with a select few.

That proves what I always thought you are a D-BAG !!!!!!





just kidding

Come on, Gil, you know you are a douchebag....lol, jk, and of COURSE there are exceptions to the stereotypes.

See... That's the trouble with meeting fellow VXers out in the real world. Your stellar image in cyberspace gets blown away...

This was always my answer to all the wannabe-outlaw Harley riders (the ones who'd clearly only bought the bike for the image) I use to encounter when out on my Ninja(s).

They'd clearly thought that by buying a Harley, everyone was then apparently supposed to consider them some sort of badass not to be f'd with by default.

Well I'm sorry, but you want respect as an American original, you display an attitude that deserves respect, you don't try to buy it.

Riding and wheeling first and foremost is about having a good time just like any other hobby, not about $#!++ing on others who don't buy the same hobby equipment as you.

I can't count the cookie cutter tuff dudes and dudettes I pass. Mine's the naked one.

I ride this monster

and I wave to EVERYONE. People on metric bikes, people on american bikes, people on scooters....heck, I'll even wave to bicyclists sometimes. I figure if you're out on two wheels then good on ya.

I have found, though, that many Harley owners don't wave back. Maybe they think they're too good for me, or maybe they bought the bike to prove something and they really aren't riders so they are terrified to let go of the handle bars long enough to give a quick wave back.

I was outside on break with a co-worker once at a place I used to work, and we were looking at the the bikes in the motorcycle parking area. The guy was a Harley fan, and had pointed out a Ducati 916 saying,

"Who the hell is the guy that can afford the Ducati? If he can afford that thing, he can surely afford a Harley. Does he think he's too good for a Harley or something?"

I said something along the lines of, "Unless I'm mistaken, most of the Harleys parked out there probably cost about twice as much as that Ducati, so why did those guys buy a Harley instead?"

I realize that Harleys for the most part retain a lot of their resale value, but I have to wonder how much that factor plays into it for some when considering what bike to purchase when they have no idea how much some other brands even cost.

Two nice rides in the photo though. I saw a lot of Ducs a few years back when I took a side trip to visit The Dragon at Deal's Gap on a drive back from Florida.

Man no love for us evil jeepers!!

I know you guys let me tag along out of the goodness of your hearts . . .




and for the occasional strap over the really hard stuff

Gotta give a big shout out to Jay. I've only met him twice, but out of the blue, this guy just offered to follow me over to my preferred shop and give me a ride home. That's a 200 mile trip / 3 hours drive time.

They ain't all bad!

That's cause Jay was tainted from his VX ownership
