Buckster

I did let a fellow ride my KTM once at a BMF rally, he sat on the back seat while doing so for some reason and it smelled like shit afterwards, no idea who it was, any idea @yen_powell?

@XTreme you need to stick with Deathwings.

It’s the future of adventure travel. Ewan and Charlie should have used these.

Too much bike for you even though it is a girls bike.

I seen a few in the US, usually on Harley-Davidson. People who only get the bike out to be seen on group rides on memorial day and the like. In the US people can ride just about anything on a learners permit so it is always a recipe for disaster. Two examples I can think of out of many are my first ride with a group, there was a guy on a 1200 Sportster, he kept drifting towards other bikes, ran into the back of a couple of people, I just stayed way back out of his way. When we stopped I told him to stay away from me to prevent a premature ending to his life, he went home at that point. Another group ride in the Georgia mountains and a female rider on a newer version of my bike, riding on a learners permit was really struggling in the bends, at one point she was drifting towards the drop off so I rode up the right side between her bike and the side of the road, took my left hand off the bars and placed a single finger on the end of her handlebar, just enough pressure to get her through the corner. We stopped and had a talk about steering and she was fine after that. She admitted she had frozen up on the corner and would have ended up over the edge. She turned into a good rider over the following months. There were a lot of women riders on Harleys in GA and in general they were excellent riders, the worst riders were usually men who started riding later in life.

BMW rider from Chicago? Bound to be a cocaine dealer.

If you like a bit of cock and bum fun then that’s up to you, it’s a brave new world.

You understand that you are the window licker in this picture don’t you?

Now you are 9.5st, I wonder where that 0.5 went...

Not sure if you can use the term “biker”, you may want to check with the chief arbiter first.

CUNT!

Don’t lend Ren any money.

From Yorkshire? Won’t be buying any rounds then.

Duh! Mr. Obvious.

230 lbs

Ozarks is tornado country, that and dust.

Do storm chasers ride GS’s now?

Probably a drug dealer.

Oh great a pot head.

He needs a hug.

Point proven.

You totally sniffed it, you sniffed my saddle in New Mexico you sick bastard.

Look at the end of the day some people are casuals and some people aren’t. Some people grew up riding bikes and it has got into their blood and they will always ride bikes, people like me, @XTreme, @boboneleg, @Tym, @MooN and others. Even if they have a small break they come back to bikes, some of us have always had bikes and we always identified with the culture including in the media, we don’t all identify with exactly the same area of biking but we all have things in common and all have crossovers in at least two or three areas. While there was no forum we didn’t stop riding. The casuals on the other hand may have ridden when young but it never really took with them, it was just another mode of transportation, they may have a bike rotting away in the shed so they can say they have one, they like the idea of being part of the biking scene but they need to be stroked and encouraged by others to keep it going and when there is no focus like the forum they just drift away on the tide so to speak. The real difference between casuals and bikers of course is that at the end of the day bikers don’t care if you ride or not because riding is personal to them, sure they like to share it but they don’t need to. Casuals have a desperate need to be included, they need the validation.

Must be that time of month again.
