Yesterday I took a ride with some friends. This group I really enjoy riding with, they are safe ( for the most part ) and courteous.. We ride because we love bikes, all of them, any make or style. Well, there is one guy I rode with, just once... He has been riding less than two months and bought a cbr954 as a first bike. Ok, thats fine.. add a light throttle hand and some intelligence and it will be smooth sailing... not with this cowboy... first and last time I rode with him he was doing wheelies in traffic and just being " unsafe "..
Last night we stopped into our local watering hole for a red bull. He was there with a few guys from his " club ", yes think biker boys. All of these guys are under 25 and ride big liter bikes with all the bling. We listened to these chumps try to talk bikes for a while then we just had to jet out... when we were leaving they were all like tear it up when you get on the rode... um, the police station is across the street... so no..
When we got back to my house we started to talk about this:
These guys and others in America have jumped into riding sport bikes because it is fashionable, lets put it this way, in the neighbor hood the guy I spoke of is called " backstreet "
If you were to walk into a local dealer here you will see more liter bikes on the floor than anything else and the sales guys pushing them on brand new riders... were talking folks with permits... to me, this could not be done in good conscience ..
so do any of you have a similar story or opinion?
