.....your a jack ass.

I'm coming back from HPR on 225 around Denver, this guy goes by me on a gixxer (sees that I'm towing a bike) then precedes to show me how cool he is by doing a stand up wheelie. In traffic, lots of traffic.

You just gave every driver that saw you more reason to hate all sport bikers, Thanks...

I had some drunk douche in a Chrysler 300 do such things as block me in the fast lane, accelerate into me from behind, semi-merge into me, etc, all in an effort to get me to race him.

The stupid was strong today....

Why are there so many fucking squids in Colorado?!?!? I'm in North Carolina for a while and NC is full of fucking squids as well! Why do these assholes exist?

Unfortunately they are everywhere. :banghead:

I don't mind if you like to wheelie but please do it somewhere that isn't going to draw bad attention towards bikers. Doing it in traffic, in a construction zone, on a major highway is just not cool.

This is EXACTLY why the police give sportbikers a hard time.

^this man speaks the truth. I love to wheelie but I don't do it in traffic, major roads, or anywere there are other cars anywere nearby. Thats just stoopid for you and others. Go find a two lane road with no traffic and have at it.


Saw a guy pull a stoppie at the red light of woodmen and academy the other day, in a leather vest too...:shock:

The crazies are definitely out this time of year, and I've seen it both from the bikers and the cagers. It's like a case of cabin fever: now that the weather's all nice, people are out there showing off, riding/driving recklessly, or just plain not paying attention.

Blame the heat, it's cooking their pea brains.


Then again, maybe it's mating season and they're looking for equally pea-brained partners. :shock:

Ridiculous.

I think I met a friend of his on i25 like 30 minutes ago riding a 90s zx6. Weaving between every car he saw and after 15 miles got about 200 feet in front of me. Watched him almost get hit by a nice big f150 too(the entire time I'm just hanging out in the fast lane). Not to mention he was in a t-shirt and shorts.

And people wonder why sportbike insurance is extremely high for the 18-30 year old male...My first sportbike I bought was a new 1998 Honda F3 (yes i was dumb and bought a new bike for my first bike...and it was stolen six months later...). I was paying almost 1200 buck every six months to ensure....Now that i'm in my thrities...married with kids...my 2011 Ducati 848 is about 80 bucks every six months....

I don't squid it up usally but today a few friends and I ran into some dude in a Bugati Veyron, and we we played around with him heading W bound I-70, trying to pass him, needless to say we didn't win. So sorry for my squid like behaviour. We did keep two wheels on the on the asphalt the whole time tho. It's not everyday you see a 2.6 million dollar car on the road...:w00t:

Yup. I just got my renewal for the bike, and it went up about a dollar a month. Reasons stated were that my make/model of vehicle claim history has shown to be higher risk. Bummer.

That sounds like some really good rates especially if thats full coverage. What insurance company if you dont mind me asking?

USAA

USAA

I carry USAA for everything but my bike unfortunately. When I bought my bike in 08 I was told they do not write motorcycle policies. Is this a recent change in policy with them, because I would love to get the bike on with them???

I had the same thing said to me, so I went with Progressive.

I was just shopping for insurance on a bike recently. USAA told me that their "sister" company was Progressive. And they were a rip for me. I ended up going with State Farm and I saved a ton with them. Geico was the next cheapest for full coverage. What I pay a year in full coverage with State Farm is a little more than I was paying for my HD.

when I was 24, full coverage on my 955cc touring bike was ~$2k/year with most companies except for SF, my gixxer 750 is ~$100 and the triumph is now $200...whatever sense that makes

I saw that too, and they were on supermotos. I think they were a bunch of hooligans up to no good. A bunch of riffraf if you ask me. Who would own a DRZ anyway? Trouble makers!

The reason USAA stopped insuring bikes is two fold: 1. It's highest customer base is in Florida and California. When the hurricanes came through in 2004-2005 the claims went through the roof. 2. Mostly service members, retirees, and their spouses/siblings are USAA customers and their was a large boom in service members buying, and unfortunately, crashing bikes for a 3 year spike. This was due mostly to a lot of service members coming back from Iraq/Afghanistan and receiving lots of TDY funds. Buying a bike was easy after being gone for a year then returning to a 10K plus deployment check. I have 2 bikes with USAA since 2004 and the good thing is if you have a bike with them you can continue to insure through them with any bike you get from that point forward as long as you always have one on the books. BUT if you sale your bike and try to insure another with them they will lead you to the beehive lady with the price gun.

state farm was by far the cheapest when i looked around 225 for full coverage 500 duc for the year

Had someone in a blue r6 from 6 n i25 to when i got off at countyline road keep slowing down 5 cars behind me then flying by.... not sure what he was doing

USAA for my car, Progressive for the bike.

Bike is something like $770 for the year with no comprehensive and 300K Liability/Medical. Definitely the cheapest for me out of the other companies.

Actually, I can't take credit for "Fluff Ryders", I think maybe King Nothing coined that one. But, yeah, probably one of those ass clowns. In cleveland, we had the Star Boyz assclowns. If ever I wished a motorcyclist would get run over by an 18-wheeler it was those assholes.
