No, this is what's (still) giving you the hump (a little home truth which you rated as a 'flame'):

To be absolutely honest with you, yeah, you're in line for an attitude readjustment.
You have just passed your mod 2 - a 30-minute road-ride at legal limits to show you're not a hazard on the road. You have no racing experience.
This means that an experienced rider on a 1970s CB350 could embarrass you even if you were riding a Kawa H2. Our roads are not straight American roads. Any fool can wind it open but we have REAL bends, gravel, grease, autumn leaves, oncoming traffic, etc. A little humility might be in order. Try a group ride or IAM. Could you hang with me on my boring old 600? Doubt it tbh. I studied and improved with a huge amount of effort, research and practice, and I'm still only just above average, probably, and that's because I keep it up in the winter.
Sorry but anyone can buy something, but in these days of GoPro etc. you can be asked to prove it if you're such a hotshot. Frankly I think a bit more humility is in order. |
Since then, you saw fit to call me a nob for no reason at all (in the Bike Snobbery thread):

Can we all just chill the fuck out and all agree that Bhud is just a knob and leave it at that? |
I let it all pass but I think I've had enough.
Now, I could just feel sorry for you and wait for you to grow up and get over it.
Or I could ruminate on whether you're a forum regular's sock, bored as usual, out for a wind-up.
Nah. Life's too short.
Welcome to my enemy list. Bye bye. |

I've ridden a harley for a few days in the Florida Keys. It was meh. However it was definately more fun and characterful than a 600 diversion.
The Chinese made 110cc mini chopper with 18" ape-hangers I hired later on in the holiday was more fun than the Harley.
I really didn't like a BMW R1200GS. An utterly disconnected riding experience. Comfort and riding position like being perched on top of a high bar stool. Pretty much no feedback. I asked the owner if there was a light that comes on to tell you if it's crashed because I swear you'd still be sat in the saddle wondering why the scenery was going sideways. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

You'll have to pick the bones out of that one and decide for yourselves how much of it was irony, facetiousness and tongue-in-cheek ____________________ Must Go Faster

So whose sock is it? Fucking weird one, too. |

That's because you haven't ridden a harley or a blandit yet. |
I hate Nobby's bike. I have absolutely no good reason to, but it keeps me occupied. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Took me about 250 yards to realise I really didn't like my RC24.
It felt fine when I sat on it stationary, as soon as I folded my knees under my ears and tried to suck in my beer belly to get it across the tank, I knew I was in trouble.
Shame really, I liked everything else about it (especially that V4 motor, it's a peach) but I just didn't fit on it.
I can't diss the bike totally, thousands of other owners would prove me wrong, I just should've bought mine 25 years earlier. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 90 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
