I should have started a fight with those bikers!

[Baconzoo]

So me and the family plus another family were having ice cream outside of a shop when a group of bikers started up their bikes. Yea, the kids all start crying and getting scared but this one dick revved his engine and his pipes which were facing us blew dirt all over both families! I yelled over the roar of the bike "THANKS ALLOT!" which made him turn around. I was shielding my 1 year old and walking away. He stayed there still reeving his bike when my Father In Law (70) stood there pointing and yelling, "Get out of here!" over and over. The ass on the bike just looked at him as if he had a right to do what ever he pleased.

Very upsetting. Man, I should have hucked an ice cream at that fuckers helmet. Tit for tat, then if he would have assaulted me, I could have fought back in a legal way. Fucking hind sight. This makes me want to go to town tonight and harass bikers. What gives with the loud fascination, seems childish.

[Trackhead]

Mild life crisis syndrome.

I can't stand the fucking things. Obnoxious.

Look at me, I'm a weekend Harley warrior. I'm such a rebellious tough guy in my leather costume. Tomorrow I'll be back in the office in my suit and tie.

Guys who run loud pipes on their bikes are like the security guards who were too stupid to even be a cop. A bunch of blow-hards.

[rideit]

Loud pipes are for little dick losers and their wannabe meth head skanks. If anything, I would think loud pipes might just cause murderous behavior.
Loud Pipes and Harleys are THE SUCK.
And if any of you have been in Jackson the weeks before, during, and after Sturgis, I would think you would agree.
What a bunch of posing pathetic periodontists on parade.
Rant over.

When I was a kid I loved jacked-up trucks with big tires. My dad told me the size tires on a pickup are inversely related to the size of the owners penis.

Same principle.

And if you had picked a fight with this piece of shit waste of space, who's to say what this idiot coulda pulled out of his pocket? Swallowing your pride and controlling your anger by not getting in a fight doesn't mean you don't care about protecting your family, it means you do.

[rideit]

It woulda been cool if your kids went up to him and asked him nicely to be more considerate.

[Baconzoo]

It was beyond offensive. People cleared out a 30 foot radius where we were centered. The town was packed with a "taste" and about 100 bikers were there. We got served! The waitress had to clean off every table because of the debris.

[Dirty Hoar]

I would have shoved a banana split up his tail pipe.

[FREESKIER_FIVE-0]

I dont have anything against bikers, unless they are obnoxious and overly badass like said here. Apparently two bike gangs got in a gun fight during sturgis this past week. No one was killed, but like 5 were seriously injured.

Instead of doing this...

I was shielding my 1 year old and walking away

...you could have walked up to the guy WITH your scared & crying kid. I doubt he'd have kept it up.

I'm also sure that once your FIL started yelling at him to "get out of here", the guy probably wanted to make a point of saying that YES, in fact he DID have a right to do what ever he pleased.

[/Devil's Advocate]

[Tippster]

C'mon, E - that would have scared his kid more for no reason. The biker did NOT have a right to do that, and had there been a cop around he could have gotten a "fix it" ticket since his muffler was obviously defective. Many municipalities have an allowed decibel level for pipes.

I have ridden motorcycles for most of my life. My pipes are louder than average, since they're aftermarket slip-ons, but that was for performance and clearance, not for loudness.

I have never thought of Harley Riders as badasses. Being in a gang might make you one, but riding a heavy, slow, poorly handling dinosaur of a machine doesn't make anyone cool in my book. HD - the gold watch of the 90's.

[truth]

You should have called the cops. You should not have yelled with your wife and kids there. Hell, even without them it's pretty stupid move. I'm not one to shy away from random acts of violence but picking fights with bikers is a great way to end up dead (unless these are silly poser bikers in which case you're a pansy for not pelting him with double scoop of rocky road).

Well theres a difference. Although a lot of people like jacked up trucks because they think they look cool, lifted trucks actually serve a purpose, and some people actually use them to go off roading. Harlies, however, serve no purpose whatsoever.

To all the people that said something about how starting fights with biker gangs is stupid cus they'll stab you or whatever, are there even any real biker gangs around any more? I thought they were all lawyers.

[InspectorGadget]

BakerBoy beat me to it.

I can barely stand Harley noise and the loud pipes saves lives line of thought is pure BS. Teaching the offending loser a lesson he'll soon not forget, while tempting, is also teaching your family all the wrong things. Too bad too, because two scoops of rocky road up the side of the biker's head would have been a lovely sight.

I'm not one to shy away from random acts of violence but

It's true ...I've seen Truth ready to take action. You want this man on your side.
yes...the man who takes those beautiful photos..








ps.. he was sticking up for his buddy at the time and no harm was done. That is all.

[Baconzoo]

I got yelled out by a guy like Truth. He was a guy who blew his ankle out on a Mountain Bike early season and he was pent up. He was my friend and co-worker.

So some tourist idiot in the Soj Pub (Teton Village) hit me across the head with a beer mug and cut my head open a quarter inch. By the time I made sense of his act (and he was going "come on!" to me) my buddy freight trained him and punched him into a rag doll. He had to punch around the Bouncer, and was still landing them. Insane. By that time my girl (who was still around my arm) was dotting the cut with a napkin.
Instantly...
My Buddy came at me in an insane barrage, "Why didn't you kick his teeth in? WHY! Nobody hits the boyz, NOBODY!" I said, "relax" and watched this ex Army Ranger un-fist his had look at the wad of shirt left by the somebody who hit me with a glass! I went outside looking for him but he was gone.

Later I realized that I felt no emotions during the whole episode. I just watch a wicked battle and yet felt at peace. I felt blessed to have living Angles of no mercy....

Thanks Billy Burnhap, where ever you are.

[focus]

Funny...I was thinking about starting a thread about this. What is it about a big, loud motorcycle that makes old, out-of-shape guys think they're cool? Lots of tourists bring their motorcycles up here....and I get weary of them strutting around in their leathers and staring everybody down.

You can barely swing your leg over your "hog." You aren't gonna be kicking anybody's ass......

As for the original situation...that guy was way out of line. Can't do much about it, unfortunately...but I can sure relate to wanting to!

[Baconzoo]

The biggest of the 4-5 riders who did most of the damage, out weighed me by 50lbs and seemed to "work out" It would have been ugly.

Highjack: I just recovered from a broken wrist from last season. I opted NOT for surgury, it's @ 30% of what it should be. I hear a hand heals stronger after a break but mine feels weeeeek. Anyone ever rebrake shit? How long after? Doing what?

Oh jesus, i hate people that say lol, but I did laugh out loud. I loved the "lets get out of here, they're going to kick our asses" comment. Those guys were old fat bald losers on huge touring bikes. Definitly NOT a biker gang.

[bio-smear]

After some long, deep thought, I have arrived at a solution for how I would like to passively punish retarded Harley riders with a loud pipe fascination.

You know that spray-foam crack sealer/insulation stuff? It sprays out like shaving cream but dries to a rock-hard merengue-like texture? I want to fashion a 3 foot long wand onto a can of that shit and walk up, insert it in one of those shiny chrome pipes, ejaculate that shit in there, and walk away. All it requires is adequate setup time and those dumbfucks will be cranking that electric start button wondering why their piece of shit won't light up. I could eat my ice cream in peace with an inner grin.

If I got caught during the administering phase of the plan though I'd better have a thermal detonator to bluff my way out.

Sorry for the tense-gymnastics. Not formulating good sentences right now.

[ill-advised strategy]

Loud pipes do save lives.

I've ridden enough with both loud and not to know the difference it makes in the amount of close calls with traffic and wildlife.

That said, I'm the guy with the loudest open pipes in this state but I cut them with kids and dogs and horses nearby.

So there. I have a small penis and I'm an asshole, whatever. I wouldn't have ever done that to kids or old people (yuppies...ummm...maybe).

sorry that happened. Bikers are lame.

[flatlander#2]

fat skis-loud pipes/harleys it's all the same. they like it and it's fun for them don't be a prick. They were being rude, you know what's funny some bikers fucking suck, some cops fucking suck and the opposite is also true.

oh and a sturgis tr to come...Saw this dude named Sonny. The bros he has would toss most of us farther that we can toss a snowball.

What a douche nozzle. Home skillet tries to pass a slow moving car on a BLIND corner, locks up the rear tire when he realizes he's running out of space, and then proceeds to fall off the side of the road.

That did look like a nice set of twisties though for a bike with good handling.
HDs don't fit in that category.

EDIT: Oh, and for the other motorcyclists here: Why the hell don't HD riders EVER wave when you wave while riding by? Almost everyone BUT HD riders wave when passing.

[shmoesmith]

Bullet bikers dont wave very often either. I have to agree with a previous commment. I own 3 bikes. I have been hit on one of them. Loud pipes DO save lives. If you arent a regular street rider on a bike, than you really don't understand. THAT SAID...it sounds like those guys were being a bunch of fucking assholes...I would have let them have it. Most of the HD guys really are weekend warriors and will have to go back to their offices on Monday. I bet if you had thrown your icecream they would have been pissed, but too chicken shit to do anything about it.
