Ya know what really grinds my gears

---

LOl!! Scotty you should write a book titled "Ya know what really Grinds My Gears?". A whole book on your rants! I would so read it!!! hehehe

There is no big deal it's just fuckin' stupid. And, the difference is in small town or country lane, such as I live, even if you don't know the fuckers' names your more than likely gonna see 'em again... at least on a friggin' weekly basis. These assholes on the highway ain't ever go see each other again. And like I said if they do, they ani't gonna fuckin' recognize each other.

Society has to much stupid shit already. There's no need to invent new stupid shit.

Ha! My brother does that. He does a lot of rides and poker runs and stuff like that, so there's always a bit of a chance he actually knows the guy. But he'd do it anyway. And I'm sure he does it when he's on the highway.What's funny is that he waves one way when he's on his bike and another way when he's in his care. I just wave. Usually waving 2 fingers in the air, whether I'm in my car, walking down the street, or in the hallway at the school.Hmmm...there should be like a secret kind of wave for people driving Kias.

I would be interested to know your brothers views on my rants and tirades about the subject and why he participates in this cultural phenomenon out on the highway.

Oh I could pretty much tell you how he would reply. Something to the effect of "he doesn't understand because he's not one of us" or something about how you must have some sort of prejudice against bikers.My brother is one of these guys who thinks that everything he does makes him an integral part of some club. He bough a beater VW bug about 15 years ago and then started on this whole volkswagon-collector thing. He was one of them now cause he had an old bug. Then he went through a year or two where he was golfing some and acted like he was in some secret fraternity with Tiger Woods.Needs to belong I guess.

I adhere more to the Groucho Marx philosophy of not wanting to belong to any club that would have someone like me as a member.Here's a brief history of the joke. Yeah, I'm fucking board. I found this to be interesting reading though... better than work anyway.

ooouch man, doesnt that splinter?

I can't figure out what you 2 are talking about.

such a visseral reaction to social courtesy. In our ever increasingly isolated culture, it's just nice to aknowlage a stranger with whom you have something in common.What bugs me is when a Harley rider is to stuck up to wave at a kid on a rice rocket.fuck you, I'm waving and smiling at you whether you like it or not! hell, I'll blow ya a kiss! I'm gonna cram my jovial, affable, good nature right down you goddamn throat Now, what was pathetic was a few years ago the garage gave me a lame-ass PT Cruiser as a loner and some other lame-ass in a lame-ass PT Cruiser waved at me like I was in the lame-ass PT Cruiser club

ROFL!! Okay now that's just funny!!

Several years ago (in my area anyways) it was common if you had a Gay Pride sticker for Equal Rights sticker on your vehicle and you passed someone with a likewise sticker you'd honk at them and they'd honk back. That actually last a couple years than eventually died off. Always thought it was odd, yet intriguing at the same time.

I personally don't do the whole sticker thing on my vehicle, I don't trust the ignorant people in society not to damage my car.

okay okay mean-spirited works too... :wink:

Okay Jackass, it's people like you that piss people like me off, with all your happy, free love, hippie, lets all be friends attitude. So while your blowin' kisses how about I flip you the bird. "Your flower power is no match for my glower power." >>>"In our ever increasingly isolated culture..."Okay, very true.>>>"...it's just nice to acknowledge a stranger with whom you have something in common."In common? In common? Bullshit! Should I wave at that guy over there because he's wearing sea green and I'm wearing grass green. Hey we've got shit in common. Wait, wait, wait... that guy has the same first name as me. We should form a club.In common, my ass. It's just that same ole human nature bullshit of wanting to belong to a special, ever smaller, group that humanity can't seem to grow past. And don't think the politicians and marketers don't know this shit and love it.Maybe if I buy a bike I'll have people wave at me and I'll be accepted and have something I can talk about with another person....Oh joy. Meanwhile Mr. Harley, Mr. Kawasaki and Mr. Triumph are getting driven home in their limousines to their steak and lobster dinners with their trophy wives.Fuck that shit.If your gonna acknowledge a perfect stranger how about somebody you have nothing in common with. Who knows you might strike up a conversation, learn something new, and finally get that, "hey those fuckers in that group aren't so different from me."Personally I don't go in for that shit either but if you have a need to make meaningless social connections it would seem a more productive use of your energies. Maybe I'll ride the Buell tomorrow and flip off every biker I see. ...except those scary looking ones.

hippy?
first off, I'm a punk, not a hippy
second, if you want hate, I'll show you 10 fold hate
third, I'm still waving at ya buddy :smile:

I've only been riding a bit and had my licence for les than a year. I like when bikers wave at me. Whether I borrow my buddy's Soft Tail or my other friend's Shadow (with the glittery unicorn decal on the tank)it's all good.

I was going to buy a bike this year but I got sidetracked by some employment issues. I still haven't decided between a cruiser or a sport bike. Both suit me

a couple months ago, my friend with the Harley needed me to drive his dad's old hotrod back to the city from the cottage. It's a '37 Chevy coupe. I passed some guy in a similarly aged truck and he waved at me. I make friends wherever I go
*hugs*

Be different, get something like a Ural with the powered side car. Then load up your kid and or your honey and go camping in the outback.My next bike is going to be a trike, a Rewaco. I like 'em a lot.

pretty cool but I do like being on 2 wheels, even though I dumped a couple months ago.I was thinking of maybe a British bike (my dad had a Norton back in England)I haven't had spawn of unsupervised on the back yet as I want to feel more confident before I do that. As for my "honey", I aint got one. At least not till she smartens up and leaves Cleveland

But then she's comin' to Oklahoma. :wink:

And I don't like her new job she's never around anymore. Sucks ass. That's not what her new job is. It sucks ass that she's hasn't been around. :grin:

That Norton's a bad ass lookin' bike but there's no room to get anybody on the back of it. Are ya gonna go for one of those suction cup seats to stick on the back or just get a trailer hitch and find ya a real biker bitch.

no shit. and she never answers her damn phone! If this keeps up, I might have to settle for second best
