What is it with Harley riders?

   / What is it with Harley riders? #244  
I drove manual transmission cars for 30 years, until they simply became unavailable on the model types I was buying, and also usually downshifted to slow to a stop. I did it out of a combination of habit and fun, but one lingering thought always in the back of my mind was how much more work it is to replace a worm clutch versus worn brakes.
I always kept it in a gear that would work if I had to dump the clutch and accelerate quickly. On at least one occasion it saved me from having a bike self load into the bed of the truck… the hard way.

Beautiful cruisin day today here. No humidity.
I just returned home from a morning of work. On the way, I pass about 200 Harleys in a convoy.
NONE appeared to be under 60.
I was checking out the women and most were tatts & rolls. The men were definitely competing with the women on boob size. Many had bigger man ***** than the women. :ROFLMAO:

The road is very narrow and unfriendly for towing mirrors. Yet many rode side by side just about clipping my inside mirror with their brain buckets.

What blows my mind is lane splitting, particularly in active traffic..
They post signs that say “watch for motorcycles”, then drive like obnoxious jerks.

Never done that, I like manouvering room thank you very much
Side by side is illegal in Ohio, and I agree with you, it's not a great practice.

How does that song go...'Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... Saw a YT vid the other day where a lane splitter got hammered by an opening door in a standstill traffic jam. He didn't fare very well and most likely gets to pay for the damage to the car as well.
