I agree. That said, I also understand the frustration with the unending harangue of the HD crowd. No, not all of them, but a loud percentage. I think HD makes some fine vehicles. Not for me, but they're fine. It's the unceasing chest beating I get weary of. Just effing ride and leave me alone.

Great parallel parking job.

We then become mentors, not to reshape based upon how we have become but to encourage her into a competent biker regardless of CCs, model and age. I hope we never tire of seeing the excitement of one changing their life against the flow of current standards, of becoming one in love with two wheels.


Oh wait.. sorry.. I forgot the "Confirmed Curmudgeon" part.. just forget what I wrote.

And I'll have to AGREE with your disagreement. What she said made a lot of sense, and more power to her on her journey.

I'll leave the original grumbly post up for posterity. Just a kneejerk reaction to remembering the flamefest surrounding the Vid Lady...

I saw no smiles in your post, so maybe you don't know why his visor is up.

Yup. Clearly it is a LITTLE smokey. If on the gas it would A LOT smokey.

A good training technique. Following one, if you see the road covered in smoke, get on the gas, if it disappears, get on the brakes.
