Well the other day I was looking at a New Zealand Motorcycle Trader just checking the prices of diffrent bikes and if they are getting cheaper or not etc etc. I came across this sexy ass FZR400, this wasnt just any old 400 it had aftermaket Carbon Fiber exhaust, wicked paint scheme and real one off stickers. It was being sold by a lady rider for quite cheap......... Because I wasnt looking to buy, I was just interested and forgot all about this wicked bike. Then I walk out of the local Woolworths and there it is shinning in all its beauty. I stoped in my path and thought **** thats strange I only just saw this in the Trader. I went back home and looked at it again, yep thats the bike alright but they bikes for sale in a city 6 hours from here. They must have just brought it..... Any ways about 1 week l8a I was getting some food from Woolworths again and there it was BUT whats this the owner is standing right next to it. Being the friendly guy I am I walked up to him and the sex machine. " G-day mate nice bike you got there" I said, " Thanks" he mutterd out. So I was thinking out he prob thinks im a ****** so I say " I own a bike like this but in 250cc form". "They are nice bikes aye" thinking he'll tell me about his bike but all I got was a "mmmm". So here I was thinking this guy rides a bike, a Yamaha so hes gotta be friendly but no hes a *****. " So how much did you pick it up for off that all lady in Auckland" I said to him. " What mate!!! Ive had this bike for 4 years!!" he lied. So I was thinking, ok this dude dosnt desirve to ride a Yammy. So I get all up tight and say " Na dude I saw this bike, this one and only bike for sale in the Trader. It was this one as it as the one off stickers and the custom exhaust can" I said in a angry tone. "Na mate what you on about this has been in this town for 4 years''. Well what a fregging tosser I thought as I turned my loyal Yamaha back on him and walked off to my car!! I know it was the same bike, I have been into bike since I was knee high to a grasshopper so I can tell what is what with bikes. I want to know why would this "loser" say this and act in this way. I was gona ask him if he wanted to go for a bike ride. But he got on his high horse and just acted like a clown. How could u lie straight out like that I mean I had proof that it was new to this town. It pissed me off, us bikers have got to stick together instead these fu*k faces act like clowns. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt="" title="Mad" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt="" title="Mad" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt="" title="Mad" /><!-- s --> <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt="" title="Mad" /><!-- s --> Have u guys ever came across people like this??
I can't say that I have had as close experiences as you, but I certainly have received the 'snub' from bikers on non-250's. There is a weekly coffee night in melbourne which I semi-regularly attend. It used to be only 250's, then it spread wider and more and more people on non-250's showed. Initially they were in their own group not choosing to socialise with us. But soon they realised that with the exception of 1 of us on 250's that we all had our full license. Some had been riding longer than them. And like you - some had a lot more experience than the other riders and certainly knew more about bikes. They found out that many of the 250 riders rode them by choice, not by requirement (I fit the 'choice' category because I could upgrade if I was desperate, but am waiting till I can get what I want). So now everyone is quite amiable towards each other, chatting away about bikes in general. Which is good. The way it should be. But I am sure that outside this little group of 'converted big bores' there are many more who scorn at 250 riders.
And for those pplz..who dont socialise cause we have 250ccs... well screw em !! hehe.. cause it dosent about what class of bike we have.. were riding together.. if its a harley a scooter or watever.. i even nod at bicyle riders lol.. cause they have less protection then me on the roads. .. good james u didnt direct him to this site aye... i dont want no "i had this for 4 years wat u on about" type of lair on the forum hahha
only Good to see im not alone here. I couldnt beleve it aye!!!!! To take this to the extreme this world is all fighting each other and thats because of these type of people arrrrrugggh makes me sad to see people treating people like this. As The Black Eyed Peas sang "where is the love?". I will not allow such people to belong to this site as Dean, Boz and I have the power to "chuck" out such people we will. It really piss' me off. There is no one person better than the next on this earth but yet such people as talked about above seem to think there is. Any ways I needa calm down and to do so ill go look at my bike. If you got storys or feelings towards this type of human behavior lets get talking.
all my m8's ride 250's execpt one has a 400cc and hes not a fast rider always rides slow and stedy. i always race past him and take coners down fairly low but he's alway upright and he looks up to me and thinks im really skilled, lol but i dont snub him so it just go's to show 250cc rider are nice
lol Hahahaha most "bikers" are nice I have found. Most of them I can say hi nice bike and then 3 hours l8a we stop talking. Thats the way it should be. There arnt many bikers compared to "Tin Top" drivers so we have to stick together and by people thinking they are to good to talk I think that shows that they should be driving the squares and not riding bikes. Im prob reading to much into this one guy but I too find my self thinking to muc about things. This world would be perfect if people just acted nice to one and another <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
