Dude, Harley bros get mad when you pass their $70,000 custom Dyna CVO on your slow ass RE Interceptor. I’ve gotten used to them pretending other makes don’t exist and them not doing the wave but this dude followed me into the gas station 10 miles down the road and threatened me with his get back whip….

His what? Is that a euphemism?

Get back whip is a leather whip clipped to the front brake lever used to whip cars or bikes that get to close….. mostly used by outlaw bikers and wannabes (like this dude….. typically dudes that have a prospect patch on their cuts don’t have 1% patches)….

Most Harley guys I pass wave around here.  I figure the ones that don't are to scared to take their hands of the handle bars of their bike that is to big for them.  I never have understood that stupid rope hanging off the handlebars.  Don't bring a rope to a gun fight are words to live by.

Kinda how I feel about…. I unzipped my jacket to get my debit card and he saw my sidearm and started “cooling” off. Eventually an outlaw club is going to take those fake patches and whip from him…..

A rider around here has one. So captain dck head hits the wrong car, some smack head,  just a genteel nudge from that driver, and he or she is road kill. Gawd, knuckleheads

Harley bros.... Fuckin idiots. I think there's some moral code that forbids them being behind any other bike, no matter if they hold up said bike come corner time.

Funny thing, Harley bros never seem to be an issue at the track.  ::)

You have to earn your way into a biker gang.  Prospect is a newbie who hasn't passed the initiation to wear the full gang colors.  David

My last trip found me behind a group of 3 harley riders on a two lane rural. The last was a trike.
 The trike rider wanted me to pass them and kept moving to the center line and motioning me with their right arm to pass them on the right.
 So this is the US, we drive on the right and it’s illegal to pass on the right.
 Sigh😮‍💨
