Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Biker shootout in Waco today

LMAO.. That - comin' 'from a crotch-rocket snob... Hilarious.. Keep in mind, there, Birdy, that soon you'll be exactly what you so sneeringly describe above. I'll bet you won't be so snide then.

Why don't you figure out a way to get into the Isle of Man TT race when you can take yer crotchy screamin' into them corners like you obviously drool over? At least then you'll not put the rest of society in peril with your idiotic antics on two wheels.

Worst bikers in the world are the crotchies around here who pass on blind corners, double-yellows and over a sharp rise in the LH lane where anyone comin' over the hill will find fresh meat on their windshields and a crotchy in their grill. Those are the fools that give us ALL a bad name. Take a dive doin' stupid things like that and ya get exactly what ya deserve..

Sorry - but that's the way it is... YMMV.

You don't think Obama's Department of Justice would consider prosecuting a bunch of white trash, do you? IMO, this is going to turn into one of the biggest OC cases of all time, unless it is tied to some major Democrats pronto.

Don't forget to come to the ROT - Republic Of Texas Bike Rally in mid-June. Usually 50,000 bikes in Austin for a week or so.

The story now has it that the fight started over a parking space.

Was it Ace Adair?

Ace always carries a hatchet as well.

This morning I heard an argument over a state of Texas patch was involved. A lot of the pictures on TV were of Hispanics, did not see any blacks.

Big news is that the anti-gun bunch are saying this situation would only have been worse under "open carry", and shows the kind of old west lawlessness that open carry advocates obviously yearn for. Gov. Abbott said since it happened in the absence of open carry, he did not see how open carry could be considered a cause, or lack of open carry a solution, - so he still intends to sign the open carry law as soon as it reaches his desk.

Now how come Hillary doesn't have to release her emails until after the election?

Yeah Mike. Always a pleasure out here east of Austin. Same a MS 150 bike ride. I'll just stay hold up here on the Canta Forda. Hopefully avoiding the noise and traffic.

Defending/glorifying the "outlaw" lifestyle is cool until your 14y/o daughter is rufied, has the brotherhood pull a train on her, addicts her to heroin and peddles her ass in truckstops all over Minnysoda.

When she comes home diseased and brain dead remember your motto

Live Free, Ride Hard....retards

Crotch rockets??? Out of that 250,000 miles and ten years (age 27 to 37) in my motorcycle period, only around 40,000 miles and a year and a half was on a 750 Ninja, and that only because my roommate sold it to me on really good terms. It was one of the more boring bikes I owned; sure it would pull power wheelies in every gear and absolutely lunge when you cracked open the throttle at 100.

But what REALLY counted was having a woman on the back, and it sucked at that.

Just because a bike handles well at 80+ and will pull 100 don't make it a crotch rocket. Twenty-one years back I finally bought my perfect bike; the last of the Beemer airheads, the R100 g/s Paris/Dakar (Harleys were out of the question on account of the theft rate). OMG, that was gonna be THE classic bike I kept forever (this ain't mine, mine was green).



Forrest Gump was right about that whole box of chocolates thing. Turns out the R100 g/s P/D was the worst bike BMW ever built, EVERYTHING went wrong on that bike, so unreliable it would scarcely go around the block, and at the time it was still my major transportation.

So, dug the ol' KLR 650 out of storage, tho' once again it has sat mostly unused in the garage since the last time I rode it to NY State (1,000 miles a day, Yo ) Here I is in NY in 2010, when my nephew was fortunately still at an age where getting picked up at school on even an 18 year old KLR was a big deal Courted my wife on that bike when it was new and everything...



A 650 KLR one-up has useful acceleration to 80 mph (tops out ~95 with no headwind if yer patient), this is good because there are few interesting corners that can be taken at speeds exceeding that. I found that having to hit every shift, line and braking point just right to run with the fast boys on a lightweight, underpowered bike was tremendous fun

I've tried it in the Hill Country a few times since then. But nope, nowadays EVERY decent road on EVERY weekend is clogged with rafts of slow-moving Harleys or Harley lookalikes. Sucks

Doesn't help either that most folks riding 'em are as humorless and thin-skinned as yerself.

Anyways, I might have escaped the fat-guy-on-a-bike deal. See, I always thought that everybody should own a Harley at least once in their lives, but last year at age 57 I did that whole 2,000 mile Texas - NY thing on Taiwanese iron, my coolest trip ever.....



...just might have ruint me on that whole motorcycle thing fer life......

I blame the Evo motor and Willie G....

The Evo gave 'em a bike that fired up every time you turned the key and which never needed wrenching, and Willie G. sold 'em the pre-packaged image, and the outfits to go with it.

A fairly accurate assumption as to how things stand now with the hoard of modern "bikers" I would say.

I made the mistake of showing my wife your bicycle travelogue and she's had a crush on you even since. Every month or two she asks me how you're doing. I'm going to tell her you got fat and traded the bicycle for a Harley to putter around on.

Holy smoke! Looking fer pics of the ol' Beemer I came across my wedding pic, all taken in front of that very bike (We tied the knot outside by the Medina River, some kid actually caught a fish at my wedding, best one I've been to if'n I do say so myself)...



Anyways, THATS how much I was about bikes back then

And the club t-shirts? Back in grad school a leather clad, chain-smoking German woman on a Ducati tried to join a Frat-boy sport bike club and they turned her down (WTF??).

So, that club was formed on the spot that very evening, in front of the bar. No dues, no officers except for her who was elected President-for-life (that's her Ducati on the shirt). No rules, not even a motorcycle needed, just a t-shirt, sold at cost. Hey, good friends, good times, epic rides and friggin' awesome parties

Tell her what I have always told my students, of either gender....


If she finds me attractive not to worry about it, its perfectly natural. It just means she's maturing into a woman.

Going to agree with your post. I don't like it either riding with a bunch of -5 mph riders and their obeying of the turn speeds - doesn't everyone know turn speeds are a suggestion?

Tell me, what sort of dressing did you have in mind? You do get that much of the clothing is protective. Of course the chick wearing chaps with a thong and a halter top, not so much,

Around the time of their 95 year anniversary you practically had to stand in line to buy one.
Now not so much.

I guess they are a lot like a Colt 1911,
people talk them to be greater than the competition but then spend lots of money to customize them.

Oh, but it IS protective! Her outfit establishes and maintains her social position as a Hot Bitch, with all the rights and priveleges (money and power) attaining thereto. Far be it from me to argue with her.

I was on my way to a state pistol match many years ago, driving down I-90 from Madison WI to Lacrosse on a Friday afternoon. I passed a couple on a big geezer glider: the guy was a decent-looking 40ish guy, but the gal behind him was drop-dead gorgeous, dressed in a very tight and very short pair of cutoff jeans and a flimsy bikini top that showed off better than 70% of the surface area of her very large, very firm and very obviously recently augmented titties. They were not wearing any protective clothing/equipment other than their sunglasses.

I passed that couple half a dozen times, hoping to get their attention so I could engage them in a roadside discussion about the wisdom of wearing protective gear... but somehow I just couldn't keep my concentration every time I passed and looked at those delicious ta-ta's...

The attraction of the 1911 is because it's so customizable.
