I am glad the media at least talked to other motorcyclists about this behavior.

Why the hell do they film the squids, and then interview the Harley riders? There is not a Harley built that can go that fast....

Why would they film H-D riders and interview squids?

Hmmm.... 'cause the squids would have said, "Duuuuuudee! That's badass. That Guy is totally cool!"

They did a special like that last fall here in Mobile and they actually interviewed sportbike riders. There were more than a few that said they tried to ride AGATT and kept the racing on the race track. There was a couple of shots of my S2 in special.

Because they are the only ones found pulled over at the bars instead of actually riding!}

You think so? I've owned several H-D's. don't drink, and have rode the H-D's across this great country, coast to coast several times and through most of Canada East of the Rockies including Nova Scotia. For thrills I take the Ducati to the track! What have you done lately???

"Why would they film H-D riders and interview squids?"

I think they should! That would be funny to see on TV.

I ride with both. I have a group of young squid friends and a group of older HD friends. I don't think either group would be happy if they couldn't rip on the other a little bit. I know what they both have to say about the other. Both groups think the other group totally misses the point of riding.

It's funny how both groups conform pretty well to the stereotype. The HD group really does spend a lot of time going from bar to bar and having a great time doing it. I am usually wearing the only helmet in the group. The squids are almost always in helmets gloves and jackets, and they spend way more time on the road. It's just that they are often riding dangerously when they are on it.

I have fun with both groups, but most of the time I ride alone. For the simple pleasure of being out on a bike, company is usually just a distraction for me.

In fact, I think the amount of time a person spends riding alone is at least one good measure of how much they like riding vs posing.

And I thought all the squids were in the Sound. I guess I was wrong about that, a few escaped and got to the I-5.

I hope the insurance companies don't see those videos.

More dumb/dangerous uses of sandals..
