It's a friggin' parade 'o' bad taste out there folks. Everywhere you look, for hundreds of miles around, it's doo-rags, chaps, pony tail holsters, bad pun stickers, armless denim shirts. And we ain't even gonna get into the bikes. Overwrought garbage laden fluorescent fat beasts that pass for choppers these days. Their bikes shine, just like their chaps. They don't hardly got no BO either. Why if you put 'em all together they'd prolly smell no worse than a rabbit cage that ain't been cleaned in a week. It just doesn't seem right. Bike Week 2004's a bit lame. Even 500,000 of 'em cain't raise any more fuss than 30,000 did in '84.
Welcome to the world of Weekend Bike Warriors... The Gold Chainer of the Bike world, You know once you drop 18K + on that new bad azz Harley you need a doo-rag to look the part. Don't forget the new earing and the gloves with the fingers cut off and the little holes on the back... Doug
That's part of the reason I sold my Harley, no place to put my golf clubs I just emailed a guy (bought a Harley last year) who asked me if it was worth it to go to Bike Week, I said is was like a clown convention, 'cept the girl clowns have hardly anything on... whether you want them to or not. If they outlawed trailers, they would be 6 bikes and 50,000 people.
Back when I still had my bike shop I had a few customers that would take the week before off so that they didn't have to shave.
" I see by your outfit, that you are a cowboy I see by your outfit, that your a cowboy too. We see by our outfits, that we are both cowboys. If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too." To the tune of "Streets of Loredo" as sung by the Smothers Brothers.
My Uncle is the Doo-Rag Master!!! hahahaahah What do can beers and door Rags get ya?........ NOTHING YOU FUCKING LOSER!!! AHAHAAHHHAH
Ha Ha Ha...fucking CLASSIC rant, Nads!! Rent the movie "Beyond The Law" with Charlie Sheen sometime...it's based on a true story about a cop who went undercover and successfully infiltrated a biker gang. A scoot wrench helped him build his own bike, and set him up with a set of "colors" on a denim jacket. Upon trying the jacket on, the mechanic said "Naw, ya ain't DIRTY enough, Man!", so he takes the jacket from Sheen, stomps it into the ground and pisses on it...then presents it to him! One of the funniest scenes in the whole movie! Yeah, they sell all the 'cool' Harley "costumes" at the same multi-million dollar bike dealerships where these people finance their mass produced mounts...weekend yuppie biker HEAVEN!! Cracks me up to picture a "biker" jacket comming out of a dryer in suburbia smelling like Snuggle!

GV...thanks for the flashback....The Smothers Bros were great....that was one of my favorite songs. I didn't go to Daytona, but my older brother did...rides one of those Vrod things.....if he EVER gets a do rag...I'm gonna shoot him. The jerk called me to tell me how much fun he was having....told him I was out in the shop BUILDING bikes. Isn't it strange that it's now OK to show tits....GOD, I wish some chicks would stay dressed....As Rosanne Rosannnadanna would say.."WHATTA YA TRYIN TO DO...MAKE ME SICK OR SOMETHIN???"

My mother-in-law used to work with this couple at AT&T assy here in OKC. They would start about a month before Sturgis. The hair would miss it's regularly secheduled cut, the facial hair would start to grow out and the leather would be all oiled up and ready for action. You have to blend or the Hell's Accountants will rough you up.

The truth of the matter is that there are a lot of guys (and girls) who are desperately seeking an identity, and right now the "biker" persona seems to be the one attracting the most followers. And it goes way past the OCC bullshit. The other day I had one of my friends, who drives an Audi and knows absolutely nothing about hot rods, customs, and choppers, lecture me on what is and what isn't a hot rod, custom or chopper. It was comical. Basically he thinks that since he watches monster garage and OCC, he knows everything there is to know about anything car or bike related, and now he's ready for his own "flat black hot rod just like the one Jesse James has!" (yes, those are his exact words, and yes, it was painful). Damn you, evil Discovery channel!!!
I just wonder what the outlaw bikers will ride? If all the yuppies are invading their domain.....they will move on to???really mean looking mopeds. Maybe the yuppies will follow.....
I agree 100% with what Repoguy said!! I have a poser relative who recently decided to get a Harley...complete with leather doo-rag, vest and chaps, needless to say, he looks like a complete idiot. He and his wife informed me recently, that they are thinking of also getting an "old car", because that seems to be really "in" these days! Really? Wow....I had no idea. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Morons.
let's fuck with em all,and start drivin porsches,and riding goldwings..........ok,i'm sorry,it just came out.....it'll never happen again,i promise
This reminds me of shortly after the big HA / Mongol (sp) shootout in Laughlin NV a few years back. A bunch of yuppie "bikers" who are trying hard to weez off of the outlaw biker gig were all upset because the HA's and Mongols (sp) were giving them a bad name. What a bunch of slapped-ass nit-wits.
Two guys rode by my house the other day, both wearing "Hell's Angels -- California" colors. They had on sta-prest Docker pants and looked like dentists. One was on a brand new Sportster, the other on some sort of Jap-a-Hog. They selling these jackets now at WalMart? On eBay? WTF?
