I watched one episode of
Sons of Anarchy and laughed my ... off. A cast of slim, relatively good-looking (compared to real bikers) actors grow a little facial hair and are passed off as bikers.
Why does being passed or "buzzed" by other motorists make people angry? I never understood that. One of my friends passed someone, his car had a loud exhaust, and the man he passed followed him and yelled at him at the next stop for being "disrespectful." I guess your situation had something to do with Harley guys who dislike "crotch rocket" riders.
I've been given the impression that Florida has a population of 1%ers (Warlocks, 'Angels, etc.). Is this true? If so, do you guys feel the need to carry as a result? Or is it a bike-week-only thing?
I'm glad nothing bad came out of your encounter, Jumkie.
Thanks brotha, I was glad nothing came of it either. Things could have got ugly quickly.
I totally agree with your take on the Son's of Anarchy show We have Mongols, Vagos, and Hells Angeles around here; they are usually fat and fugly and no joke. BTW, they passed us all crazy to begin with, when they got passed up again, it wasn't that harsh, but they just didn't like anybody else giving a bit of their meds. Like you said, they saw us in sportbikes and didn't like it.
Here is a pi of the typical cruiser biker that we saw on the strip.

As you can see, most were not 1%ers but rather weekend warriors. (They were taking pics of the drunk dude sleeping on his bike).
