I love other motorcycle riders...
they give you the knowing nodd... the little up-nodd... like; "we're cool"....
the big yellow POS... it's an '88 softtail, you dont even have to mention that it is a Harley by birth...
everyone assumes that the ape hangers are uncomfortable... but given the length of my arms, I couldnt ride any other way... there are so many little changes I want to make... but the most obvious is there is very little chrome on the bike... and that generates the questions...
this guy pulls up along side of me... and he must have bought every fuckin piece of chrome in the accessory catalog... I believe he had the chrome ass wiper on it, but, hard to tell as he was sitting... and he looks at my bike and smiles... "nice bike" he yells... I gave him the "patience is with you" smile and turned my attention back to the road... dont get me wrong, he was probably being genuine in the attempt to bond with another rider... but, I am not an enthusiast... I have to ride my POS because I dont own a fuckin Lexus or Beamer when the sun goes behind a cloud for ten minutes... can you feel the love here? I am getting the '84 Chevy S10 finished Saturday... only for work insurance... I work, and I have to make sure I can get there to get paid... after this last little fiasco with the bike... I digress...
1. Why are people phony around you?
2. When do you know someone is being "dis-ingenuine" with you?
3. Have you ever had a good laugh at someone else's ignorance?
1. I dont rip off heads and shit down throats when someone approaches me on the bike... so they try to bond (I am approachable)
2. While in the bonding moment.. they reveal that they dont know a fuckin thing about motorcycles
3. NO!!!! What goes around, comes around

'cept that they are pretty and I WANT ONE.
i know....i'm sad....
just thought i'd get my complete lack of knowledge out in the open.
mmmmmmm, cycles!
1. because i allow them to be. sometimes i encourage it for my own amusement ~ or safety.
2. i don't always, but when i do its just an energetic sense ~ no real concrete clues unless i catch them in a lie
3. no, because ignorance is genuine not knowing ~ i can empathize and work with that.
